The installation location must be dry and frost-free.
Ensure ambient temperatures between 41 and 104°F
(+5 and +40°C).
Distance from the heat generator min. 1 ft. (0.3 m) and
max. 8 ft. (2.5 m)
120 V/60 Hz outlet max. 5 ft. (1.5 m) from the
installation site
Internet access with an adequate Wi-Fi signal
Note: The Wi-Fi signal can be strengthened with a
commercially available Wi-Fi repeater.

The range of Wi-Fi connections can be reduced by walls,
ceilings and furniture. The strength of the Wi-Fi signal
gets reduced and reception can be disturbed.
Reduction of the range:
Wi-Fi signals get attenuated on the way from the
transmitter to the receiver, for example, through the
air and when penetrating walls.
Wi-Fi signals are reflected by metallic parts,
for example, reinforcement in walls, metal foils of
heat insulation and metallized thermo-glass for heat
insulation.
Wi-Fi signals are cut off by supply blocks and lift
shafts.
Wi-Fi signals are disturbed by devices that also work
with high-frequency signals. Keep a distance of at least
6.5 ft. (2 m) to the following devices:
– Computers
– Audio and video systems
– Radio signals
– Electronic transformers
– Ballasts
Note: We recommend keeping the distance between the
Vitoconnect and the Wi-Fi router as small as possible
to ensure a good Wi-Fi connection.
