    30 seconds before powering back on. ANTENNA ORIENTATION In order to get the best performance out of your ALTA Wireless Current Meter, it is important to note proper antenna orientation and sensor positioning. Antennas should all be oriented in the same direction, pointing vertically from the sensor. If the sensor is mounted flat on its back on a horizontal surface, you should bend the antenna as close to the sensor housing as possible giving you the most amount of antenna pointing vertical.
