4.5 Best Practices for Wireless Communication
Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal
barriers. We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless
communication.
1.
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)
. Keep the console several feet away from
computer monitors and TVs.
2.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
If you have other 433.9MHz devices and
communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for
troubleshooting purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers
to avoid intermittent communication.
3.
Line of Sight Rating.
This device is rated at 100 meter line of sight (no
interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will get 30 meter maximum under
most real-world installations, which include passing through barriers or walls.
4.
Metal Barriers.
Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as
aluminum siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through
a window to get a clear line of sight.
