Locating the Wireless Multiplexer

The wireless multiplexer must be installed in a secure indoor
location, accessible for system programming and maintenance.
Do not install where users can access the unit. The multiplexer
should be installed in an office where general access to the unit is
controlled and within 100 feet of the wireless receiver
Locating the Receiver
The receiver must be installed in a secure, indoor,
accessible location.
DO NOT mount the receiver high up in the building.
It is good practice to mount the receiver close to the multiplexer
it is connected to because every time a device is added to the
programming, a button must be pressed inside the receiver.
If possible, keep the receiver away from large metal objects.
DO NOT install the receiver on a metal surface they impair the
performance of the receiver.
If there is a concern about signals reaching the receiver, a repeater
can be placed high up and close to the receiver, and the signals
can route through it if needed. The repeater does not have to be
accessed for programming and therefore can be placed anywhere.
