Avoiding electromagnetic interference
To avoid electromagnetic interference, follow the
recommendations below to help minimize the amount of
interference you will receive with your RF receiver.
Be aware of any EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)
devices in the area, such as computers, video equipment,
digital processors, lighting dimmers, any large AC source,
lighting ballasts, or motors.
Ensure that you separate the RF receiver from the
identified EMI sources. Positioning the RF receiver too
close to any of these EMI devices may cause significant
RF noise.
Do not place the RF receiver behind a television.
Install the RF gateway in an open area or shelf with a
clear line of sight.
Do not place the RF gateway at a low height, near walls,
metal objects, or metal enclosures.
Avoid installing RF gateways in equipment racks or
electrical closets.
If installing in a rack, mount the RF receiver on top of the
rack not inside the rack.
Position the RF gateway horizontally with the antenna
parallel to the ground.
Do not position the antenna downward.
