STEP 4: Permanently install the stand-alone receiver and the transmitters
STEP 1: Planning the installation
When planning the installation, consider the following guidelines:
•
Whenever possible, mount the receiver centrally in relation to wireless transmitters.
•
Avoid installation in close proximity to sources of high noise or radio frequency interference.
For example, metal air conditioner/heater ducts and circuit breaker boxes.
•
Minimize the distance between the receiver and transmitters.
•
Minimize the number of obstacles between the receiver and transmitters.
•
Metal based construction materials, such as steel reinforced concrete walls, reduce the
range of radio transmissions.
•
The reduction of the RF signals' strength is directly proportional to the thickness of the
obstacle, assuming that the obstacles are of identical material.
