Part 5
ENVIRONMENT / OPERATING CONDITIONS
End Device/Coordinator are designed to be fixed mounted and operated in a clean and dry environment. Care should be taken to prevent the components of your wireless system from being exposed to moisture, toxic chemicals, extreme cold or hot temperature that are outside the specification listed in this manual.
The following is a list of basic good practice you should apply when operating this Wireless System.
1. Do not operate the wireless device in flammable or explosive environments.
2. Do not use the wireless device in medical, nuclear or any other critical application where failure can cause damage or harm.
3. Always operate the wireless device within the recommended environmental limits specified in this manual.
4. Do not operate your wireless device with a battery or AC adapter other than what’s supplied or specified in this manual or on the battery compartment label.
5. Keep each wireless device at least 8 inches (20 cm) from other radio transmitters, antennas, and people.
6. The FCC approval for this device specifies the specific antenna supplied with this device.
5.1General Deployment Guidelines
1.Position Coordinator in a central location. When multiple End Devices are in operation, position your Coordinator in a central space if possible in equal distance to each End Device.
2.Test your system before permanent mounting. Try to move the devices to different location around and mounting angles to determine what installation achieves the best signal strength before permanently mounting the End Device.
3.Move your system components higher off the floor and away from exterior walls. The closer the End Device/Coordinator are, the greater the interference and lose of signal strength will be.
4.Maintain a
5.Maintain a constant ambient temperature environment. Exposing your system components to extreme cold or hot temperatures, or sudden changes in ambient conditions will have an effect on the performance of your system.
6.As a general rule in buildings, head height or above is preferred. On the other hand, End Device stays close to the floor may have their range reduced by 50% to 90%.
