Section 4 – System Operation

4.1 Introduction

Compared to wired systems, a wireless system provides much simpler

installation. Based on the physical principle of the propagation of radio waves,

certain basic conditions should be observed. The following simple

recommendations are provided to Insure proper installation and correct

operation of your wireless system.

4.2 RF Communication Basics

The Model UWXL-24-IR-1 sends wireless transmissions to a receiver. The

receiver checks the incoming data for accuracy and processes this data for use by

the measurement software on your PC. Radio signals are electromagnetic waves,

hence the signal becomes weaker the further it travels. While radio waves can

penetrate some solid materials like a wall, they are dampened more than when a

direct line-of-sight between the transmitting and receiving antenna exist.

4.3 Basic System Overview

The UWXL wireless IR system is comprised of only two main components; a

signal conditioner with a built-in battery powered 2.4GHz radio transmitter, and

a USB powered 2.4GHz radio receiver.
