Installation Methods Considering Wireless Performance

Installation Considering Wireless Performance

Point the Antenna Direction Mark Upward

The antenna used in TWELITE SPOT radiates radio waves in a circular pattern centered on the device when the antenna direction mark is pointed upward. This allows reception of radio waves over a wide area when viewed from above.

Align the Antenna Direction Marks of TWELITE SPOT and TWELITE Nodes

Radio waves have a vibration direction called polarization. If the polarization of the transmitter and receiver are not the same, sensitivity decreases and communication distance shortens. The antenna direction mark on TWELITE SPOT indicates this polarization direction, and aligning the antenna direction marks of communicating antennas improves communication sensitivity.

Install in Locations Without Obstacles Nearby

Obstacles near TWELITE SPOT attenuate radio waves, shortening communication distance. Please understand this characteristic when choosing the installation location. In particular, metal objects near TWELITE SPOT significantly reduce communication distance, so avoid placing metal or metal-containing obstacles near TWELITE SPOT. As a guideline, do not place metal within a 10 cm radius of TWELITE SPOT.

Wall Mounting

Use two M3 screws, but be aware that metal parts may affect wireless performance.
