Step 1 — Choose a Location to Install
Reliability of Clear Connect wireless communication requires that the wireless processor
be centrally-located and within a maximum distance of the specific wireless devices
in the system. Wireless processors must be mounted 5 ft (1.5 m) away from wireless
interference sources like microwaves, Wireless Access Points (WAPs), etc. PoE wiring
must be kept internal to the building. Do not run PoE wiring outdoors or install the
processor in metallic enclosures.
Distances for Wireless Devices
seeTouch keypads, Maestro dimmers, Pico wireless controls, Sivoia QS
wireless shades, etc. (Clear Connect – Type A)
• Each device must be within 30 ft (9 m) of a repeater or wireless processor.
• Repeaters can be spanned up to 60 ft (18 m) apart from other repeaters to create
the network.
Sunnata dimmers, switches, keypads, etc. (Clear Connect – Type X)
• All devices associated with the wireless processor must be within a 75 ft (23 m) radius
of the processor.
• There must be a minimum of two devices within 25 ft (7.6 m) of the wireless processor.
• Each Clear Connect – Type X device should have two or more non-battery powered
Type X devices within 25 ft (7.6 m) of another compatible Clear Connect – Type X
device. Using more than two devices is ideal for creating an ultra high-performance
mesh network.
