Select the optimum position for the wireless device to ensure the strongest communication
signal* (transmitting and receiving). Connection strength can be viewed via the translator’s
display or the software.
*
It is essential that a radio survey is conducted for every location where a wireless
device is required to be installed, to ensure the recommend signal strengths can be
achieved.
Select a frequency channel that is free or relatively free of interference, and avoid, if
possible, channels that are already allocated.
Avoid installing the wireless devices close to:
o
equipment using large amounts of electrical current
o
large metal objects, structures or metal ceiling structures
o
fluorescent lighting fixings
o
computers, their cabling and network cabling.
All wireless devices should have a minimum distance between each other of at least 2
meters.
Translators and expanders should be at least 2 – 2.5 meters from floor level.
Install all wireless devices, especially translators and expanders, perfectly flat on the wall.
All wireless devices must operate in a compatible environment: environmental factors like
temperature, humidity and so on, must fall in the device’s acceptable operating ranges, as
specified in their installation instructions.
