This section covers where and how to install the Field Link.
Mount the Field Link in a location that provides convenient access to
the host system network (wireless I/O devices) and the network of
wireless field devices. Find a location where the Field Link has optimal
wireless performance. Ideally, this is 4.6 to 7.6 m (15-25 ft) above the
ground or 2 m (6 ft) above obstructions or major infrastructures. See
Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1. Mounting the Field Link
Position the antenna vertically, either straight up or straight down,
approximately 1 m (3 ft) from any large structure, building, or
conductive surfaces to allow clear communication with other devices.
See Figure 2-2.
