£ Make sure that the Wi-Fi Adapter is positioned in a way such that no screens block
the connection to any corner inside the fire safety section (potential sensor positions).
£ For reliable range planning, the unfavorable conditions should be detected at the be-
ginning but often come from later changes to the environment (room filled with peo-
ple, alteration of partition walls, furniture, room plants, etc.).
£ Even after careful planning, range and signal tests should be done during installation
to verify proper reception at the Wi-Fi Adapter positions. Unfavorable conditions can
be improved by changing the antenna position or by adding a router closer to the con-
troller(s).
