To allow for aging of the transmitter and a reduction of the infrared signal due to adverse weather, Emerson recommends using a receiver that is not at the limit of its operating range. The general recommendation is to install the receiver at a distance from the transmitter of not more than 75 percent of the specified operating distance.
