About Installing Wireless Devices

When installing wireless communication devices take special care in selecting locations so as to ensure proper communication. Note that even after a successful installation, due to changes in environmental conditions, communication errors may occur when restarting the system.

As far as possible, try to keep wireless communication devices away from metals and set them up in high unobstructed positions.

• Please take note that in many instances, walls, floors, stairs, fences and desks will contain metals. In order to carry out communication between indoor and outdoor units, please locate indoor units near a window so that radio waves can be easily transmitted.
  
• Please install these devices at least 30 cm away from walls or boards containing metal.
  
• If wireless communication devices are placed in a metal container such as a freezer or refrigerator, the possible wireless communication range will be shortened. In most cases radio waves are transmitted via doors and door openings so place devices as near to doors as possible.

As far as possible, keep the devices away from noise-emitting sources.

• Some industrial instruments, electronic devices (such as computers) and fluorescent lights generate noise. Please place units more than 1 meter away from such devices.
  
• Keep all wires as far away from wireless communication devices as possible. Please be careful about placing near any wiring or cables such as power supply cables, telephone wires or LAN cables.

Objects which contain lots of water, such as plants or soil, absorb radio waves. We highly recommend that such materials should not be placed between or near wireless communication devices.

• When measuring temperature in a greenhouse it has been reported that as plants grew, communication errors also increased.
  
• Do not place the device directly on the ground.

Do not place devices which are using the same communication frequency channel in the same area.

• If the same channel is used for multiple devices, not only will more communication errors occur, but battery life will also be shortened.
  
• If there is a possibility that devices with the same frequency channel will be in wireless communication at the same time, please make changes to the frequency channels so they are not the same.

Safety Precautions and Instructions
