Installation and Operation Manual
Description
The Room Unit communicates with the RF Receiver
on an 868MHz Radio Frequency (RF). The RF link
between the Room Unit and RF Receiver in system
packs is pre-configured at the factory and therefore
these components SHOULD be installed at the
same site. This makes the installation process fast
and easy, but if products from individual system
packs are separated, or mixed with other pre-
configured system packs during installations please
refer to section 4. Binding / Rebinding Procedure
to bind the desired units together and allow
them to communicate with each other.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
1. Installation Information
As these products communicate using RF technology special care must be taken during installation.
The location of the RF components as well as the building structure may influence performance of
the RF system. To assure system reliability, please review and apply the information given below.
Within a typical residential building the two products should communicate reliably within a 30m
range. It is important to take into consideration that walls and ceilings will reduce the RF signal.
The strength of the RF signal reaching the RF Receiver depends on the number of walls and
ceilings separating it from the Room Unit, as well as the building construction - the diagram
below illustrates an example of typical signal strength reduction. Walls and ceilings reinforced
with steel or plasterboard walls lined with metal foil reduce the RF signal significantly more.
Once a position is selected for the Room Unit this can be checked using the RF Communication
Test mode as described in section 2.2.3 Locating the Room Unit. If the position is unsuitable the
RF Receiver will not respond and an alternative position for the Room Unit must be selected.
