SATEL-LP9 Range You can set the data rate of the wireless interface and adapt it to the respective application (16 kbps ... 500 kbps). By reducing the data rate, you can increase the sensitivity of the re- ceiver and therefore the range. Distances from a few hundred meters to several kilometers can be covered using Trusted Wireless 2.0.
Are you able to circumnavigate these obstacles, e.g., by means of a repeater of higher mast? When evaluating the data, you can carry out a system calculation to determine whether the wireless path is theoretically possible. You can find a calculation example from page 125 onwards. 3594_en_B SATEL...
SATEL-LP9 Practical test To check the theoretical results, you should carry out an on-site practical test before pur- chasing a wireless system. Check the location for master, slave and repeater/slave mod- ules on the basis of the following criteria in order to achieve the optimum wireless connec- tion: –...
The opposite antennas must therefore also be polar- ized vertically. Vertical polarization means that the elements are aligned vertically to the horizon. Crossing polarization between the stations results in a signal loss of 20 dB, mini- mum. Figure 9-3 Antenna polarization 3594_en_B SATEL...

If the antenna is moved by just 1 cm from its original position, this can result in a partial loss of the wireless signal, especially when it has a long transmission path. Figure 9-10 Wireless path with strong wind 3594_en_B SATEL...
SATEL-LP9 Fresnel zone A certain area between the transmitting and receiving antennas on the wireless path is re- ferred to as the Fresnel zone. There should be a line of sight, especially in the event of lon- ger distances, between the antennas. To adhere to the Fresnel zone, you might be required to install the antennas at a height of a few meters.

To carry out a loopback test, proceed as follows: • Close all PC programs on your PC, including the SATEL-LP-CONF software. • Connect the PC to the master wireless module and start HyperTerminal via “Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communication, HyperTerminal”. The COM port set- tings on the PC must correspond to the interface settings on the master wireless mod- ule.

SATEL-LP9 • Enter several characters of your choice. HyperTerminal transmits these characters over the wireless path. On the slave side the characters are output (e.g., at terminal point 5.1, RX cable of the RS-232 interface) and immediately read again using the bridge (e.g., at terminal point 5.2, TX cable of the RS-232 interface).
