Remote Control Module - MAC-RCM

Installation
NOTICE
This product description describes specific settings and functions of the MAC-RCM. In addition to these instruc-
tions, the product descriptions of other system components, such as wireless partners, are to be observed.
General installation instructions
It is not always possible to freely select the installation location of devices which communicate wirelessly, as wire-
less data transmission is influenced to a greater or lesser extent by structural or spatial factors.
Before installation and assembly, the building structure must be analyzed and a series of measurements must be
made to determine the specific ranges within the building.
In order to establish operational and reliable communication paths, the following aspects must be considered before
and during planning:
■ Structural factors restrict the transmission ranges which can be reached. Building materials and screening elements
(e.g. suspended ceiling elements, installation shafts, fire doors, etc.) must be taken into consideration during plan-
ning.
NOTICE
Elevated humidity increases natural signal damping.
NOTE
Recommendation: Plan radio paths horizontally on a single level with max. 98.5 ft between the transmitting and re-
ceiving modules.
■ Observe minimum distances to potential sources of interference
- Min. 1.6 ft to high-frequency sources of interference (such as microwaves, transformers or computers)
- Min. 9.8 ft to transmitters of other wireless radio systems (such as cordless telephone or headphones)
- Min. 0.3 ft to metal and door frames
■ Minimize the effects of wall thicknesses, by ensuring that the radio signal passes through the walls at as close to a
right angle as possible.
■ Do not select installation locations in the radio shadow of screening building parts/structures → No direct recep-
tion possible.
■ Where the device is installed at the limits of reliability, change the position of the transmitter/receiver slightly if
possible (reduce overlapping effects of radio waves).
