They can beinstalled easily in minutes eliminating hundreds offeet of wire and saving installation cost whilereducing installation labor risks.The sensor Data-Link LED confirms the data transmission was received by the receiver for fast and reliablepositioning of the sensor during installation. There is no need for special wireless installation equipmentor tool.Together with the ACI receivers and controllers, the ACI wireless sensors can be used with any LON, BacNet,MODbus, or DDC control system or panel.Transmission distance in a typical building is 200-300 feet horizontal depending on the layout andconstruction of the building, and one floor above and one floor below the transceiver. Sensor distance andreliability can be increased with the addition of a RR2552B(s) repeater.For optimal temperature readings, follow these tips:• Avoid mounting to chimney walls, above windows, above vents, near doors, or dampers.• Mount at least 1’-2’ (0.3-0.6 m) below eave to prevent thermal radiation from affecting performance –see FIGURE 2 (p. 2).• Mount at least 4’ (1.22 m) above ground to prevent thermal radiation rising up affecting performance.• Mount in shade on North side of the structure to minimize sun exposure. In the Southern hemispherethe South side of the building is where the sensor should be mounted.MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONSWireless sensors should be installed within 200 to 300 feet of the receiver. RR2552 signal repeaters can beinstalled as to increase transmission distance between sensors and receivers.CAUTION:Observe battery polarity when installing battery.2.56"4.53"2.23"Battery PositiveTerminalInternal Link ButtonAltech WaterTight FittingNEMA 4X Enclosure
