Multi-path interference can reduce signal quality. 3.3.2 Node Data Loggers Installation • Consult RST Instruments Manual ELM0089 for RST Instruments DT series data logger installation instructions. • Antenna elevation will significantly improve radio link quality. Plan the Node Logger installations accordingly. Antennas at ankle height receive approximately an order of magnitude less signal than an antenna at waist height. -

The RTU response indicates whether or not the RTU is still waiting for Node data logger Transmissions. If this response is not received, the data logger should wait an appropriate interval before requesting the listening state again. Standard programs use 10 seconds between requests.
