CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
NOTE: Carefully consider device placement, since it needs to be able to receive and transmit wireless information.
For example, locating the device inside of a steel cabinet would interfere with the wireless signal, so placing an
antenna on top of the cabinet would be necessary in that case.
