Mounting Guidelines

Mounting Locations

• Mounting locations affect the overall performance of the wireless system

• In order to ensure the best possible signal reception, the following list of criteria should be respected whenever

possible

• Select an installation site that is free of obstacles that reﬂ ect and absorb RF signals (RF reﬂ ection and attenuation),

and avoid installation near or in the path of strong RF ﬁ elds (interference)

• One of the most basic obstacles is the ground and its relation to the receiver.

• The ground works as an RF noise generator, and also mirrors RF signals and sometimes even absorbs them

• Avoid mounting the receiver in the basement as the range of the receiver is reduced when mounted below

ground level

• If it is absolutely necessary that the receiver be mounted in the basement, ensure that it is mounted as high

and as close to the underside of the ﬁ rst ﬂ oor as possible.

• Select a site that is not susceptible to drastic temperature changes

• Mounting the receiver or transmitter in an area with drastic temperature changes can cause condensation and

moisture to collect in the receiver or transmitter

• Common problem areas include:

• Heater air duct

• Exterior doors

• Refrigerators and freezers

• Garage

• Mount the wireless receiver as high and as central as possible to the proposed placement of the transmitters

• Ideally, the perfect antenna spreads its signal like a perfectly round circle. However, because of the transmit-

ter’s physical construction (i.e. PCB, battery) it is more like a ﬁ gure 8.
