Use case: Room installation:

If the user wants to detect presence in a small room or office RTX

recommends installing this in the top corner of a room. The power

level should be adjusted according to the size of the room. We have

provided a table with different room sizes and power settings. The

Antenna direction should be set to “center” in all the cases. This is

with the beacon in TX mode. The values given is measured inside a

fully equipped office space, it is very likely that the user will have to

tweak the values to fit their exact needs.
