Finding a Suitable Location
Because OMEGA is a wireless solution, it is not possible to predict how it will perform in all given environments. However, observing the following guidelines will help optimize performance in your environments and applications.
cSelecting a location for installing OMEGA.
−The location must provide adequate cellular coverage and signal strength (preferably
−Be sure there is sufficient space for OMEGA to connect to the endpoint device. This distance should not exceed 500 feet.
−Make sure there is sufficient space to work. The space should be dry, away from overhead water pipes and free of airborne contaminants.
−The location should place OMEGA within six feet of a properly grounded AC outlet.
cRemote antenna installation.
If you will be using a remotely located antenna, locate the antenna 10 feet above ground level and no more than 50 feet from the OMEGA unit (the shorter the distance, the better). Section 5 provides details about the external antenna installation process.
cAvoid radio-frequency interference.
