SPEKTRUM+ SIGNAL ATTENUATION

All claims related to signal distance are based on clear line of sight. Any obstacles impeding direct line of sight will significantly reduce the effective distance of the product. Increasing density and thickness of obstacles will further decrease the signal distance. Material Interference Table

Best practices/troubleshooting tactics include:

  • Devices using the same RF band can interfere with each other’s communication. Though they cannot communicate directly, they may be able to inject noise into another system. If you experience this, the best practice is move the inadvertent receiver(s)/transmitter(s) to an alternate location or to place a barrier between the inadvertent receiver(s)/transmitter(s).
  • If a receiver must be moved out of sight, make sure that the receiver is not fully enclosed and that the receiver is placed as close to the opening as possible. The signal will be able to be reflected around a corner at reduced strength.
  • If an antenna is used, the signal is strongest in directions perpendicular to the direction the antenna is pointing.
  • A cellphone camera can be used to test if an IR remote is transmitting signal. Even through the infrared band is invisible to humans, the cellphone camera will pick up the IR light and display it on the screen as either a red or white light. If pressing a button does not show a light on the cellphone screen, the batteries are most likely dead and need to be replaced.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
For the latest product information, updates, instructions and details concerning specifications, colors, finishes, performance, installation and design, visit www.americanlighting.com. Color may vary from the color printed herein due to limitations in photographic and printing processes. American Lighting Inc. reserves the right to change product specifications without notice. Other product specifications such as color temperature, wavelength characteristics and lumen output are subject to production limitations and may vary. LED technology is changing rapidly, and not all color temperatures and performance levels can be duplicated at a later time. Best practices include purchasing 10-15% more for a particular project on the same initial order where white LED color temperatures must be maintained over project and product life. Eventual product replacement should be considered at layout and design stages. Best practices also include testing connections and product performance prior to mounting and/or installing.

AVERAGE LIFE
Average incandescent lamp life, rated life and average life are terms used to describe the number of hours at which half of the lamps have failed. For LEDs, the hours of rated life specify the point where 70% of original lumen output is reached. Below this point, the effective life is over, however, the LED may still emit light. Individual results may vary with actual environmental conditions including, but not limited to, proper installation, ambient temperature and/or input voltage fluctuations.
