IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER

When mounting a wireless device a comprehensive radio survey should have been carried out to establish the location that provides the best coverage and optimum reach. Taking into consideration the building structure and materials, the survey identifies the wireless infrastructure required and product locations for optimum performance, identifying any factor that could prevent radio integrity.

Avoid fixing or mounting the unit close to the following:

Equipment that utilises large electrical currents
Large metal objects or structures
Fluorescent lighting fittings
Metal ceiling structures
IT cabling.

Keep 2 meters minimum spacing between other wireless equipment in the area to avoid signal interference. EN54 approved environmental temperature range is -10°C to +55°C
