9-4 Location Tips for ECLYPSE A1000
using Wireless Adapter
When installing the wireless adapter, it is important to ensure that distances
and obstructions do not impede transmission. Metallic parts, such as
reinforcement in walls, machinery, office furniture, etc. are major sources of
field strength dampening. Furthermore, supply areas and elevators shafts
should be considered as complete transmission screens (Figure 20).
Figure 20: Location Tips
For transmission obstructions, one way to get around an obstruction, such
as a duct, is to place the wireless adatper on the side of the obstruction that
is nearer to the coordinating wireless device, even if the controller is on the
opposite side of the obstruction. But always keep in mind that the wireless
adapter performs best when it is away from metal objects or surfaces.
Two common sources of the wireless obstructions in the field are when
the wireless adapter is placed in a high angle of incidence and when
two wireless adapters are placed along the same wall. A steep angle
of incidence may cause a signal to run through more obstructions
than realized, dampening the signal. Therefore it is preferable that the
transmission be arranged so that it travels straight or perpendicuarly
through the obstruction. See Figure 22.
Linked wireless adapters should not be mounted on the same wall or plane.

Radio waves are subject to interfering reflections. It is always best to place
the linked wireless antennas on the side or opposite walls. See Figure 23.
9-5 BLE Adapter Cable Extension
The BLE Adapter cable can be extended using the 16ft USB Extender cable.
