Figure 1 Connecting RFL100 to the viewLinc Monitoring System
RFL100 requires a connection to a Vaisala AP10 Access Point. AP10 can connect up to 32
loggers to the viewLinc Monitoring System. In a typical indoor space, install the AP10 within
100 meters of the RFL100. In an open space without many interfering structures, the range
may be significantly higher.
RFL100 is optimized for low power operation. It reads the probe once a minute, and transmits
measurement data to the access point every four minutes. Because the radio link is not
continuous, remote management actions and system joining status may take some time to be
updated on the display of the data logger.
Before you start installing RFL100 Data Loggers, install the viewLinc Enterprise
Server and at least one AP10 Access Point within range of the RFL100. This way
RFL100 can immediately discover your access point and join your system.
