Installation example
Signaling
The green (RFnet Node) or blue (BLUEnet Node) LED of the device indicates that
the device is properly powered.
Operational test
- Once the product is installed, follow these steps to check the correct operation:
- When SALTO Gateway and locks are installed, check that the RFnet Node or blueNET Node is active in SALTO’s software.
Maintenance
The unit should be tested at least once a year as described in “Operational test”. Keep the device in a safe place!
Radio information
- The environment has a direct impact on the range radiation (metal, concrete walls…)
- The receiver device must be located facing the product antenna. Please check your product’s device antenna position. Recommended connectivity distance: 5m – 10m
