Hardware Connection
Site Consideration
Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for
optimum performance. An elevated location is recommended as
obstacles like trees, buildings and large steel structures will
weaken the wireless signal. See 'Q2' in 'FAQ' for details about
how to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices.
