5.2 Installation location

Depend on what kind of iConnector, the location of installation will be considered carefully.
5.2.1 if the iConnector has built-in Sub-GHz
Wireless Co-ordinator or Wireless Bridge:
To maximize the distance of transmission between Sub-GHz wireless sensor and iConnector, the ideal condition is Line-
of-sight (LOS) between the Wireless sensor and iConnector. In real life, there may be no LOS condition. However, the
Wireless sensor still communicates with iConnector, but the distance will be reduced significantly.
The antenna of Sub-GHz Wireless Co-ordinator of Wireless Bridge must be placed above ground as high as
possible, not lower than 2m. We recommend the minimum is 4m;
It's better to place the antenna outdoor, on top of the roof of building, house, warehouse...;
It's not good if the antenna is place indoor but the wireless sensor is outdoor;
Only when all the wireless sensors are indoor, then you can place the antenna of wireless co-ordinator indoor,
too;
ATTENTION:
DO NOT install the Wireless sensor or its antenna inside a completed metallic box or housing, because the RF
signal can not pass through the metallic wall. The housing is made from Non-metallic materials like plastic,
glass, wood, leather, concrete, cement...is acceptable.
