  • Page 13: Ee240 Network Setup

    The stable and failure free function of the EE240 network, as well as its smooth setup and putting into operation, depends on the topology of the network, which includes the type and the hardware setup (remote probes, remote antennas) of the transmitters and routers, their exact locations and the wireless signal strength at each network component.
  • Page 14: Operation Of Parallel Ee240 Sensor Networks With Overlapping Radio Ranges

    Operation of Parallel EE240 Sensor Networks with Overlapping Radio Ranges Each EE240 wireless network is built around one EE242 base station. Depending on the required transmission range and on the number of transmitters, it may include one or more EE244-R routers. All devices are linked directly or indirectly to one dedicated EE242 base station.

    A test of correct function and accuracy of the wireless network can be easily performed with the optional reference probes, see accessories in the EE240 data sheet. The reference probes supply fix values for RH and T. Simply plug the reference probe instead of any sensing probe of EE244 and check the indication on the transmitter display or / and the data received by the base station.
