When mounting the receiver module and bracket to the outside of a building, make sure to locate the
module on the building wall that is facing the transmitter’s antennae. In built up areas this may not be
possible but test this location to make sure you obtain acceptable signal quality before mounting the unit.
It is generally best practice to locate the switching devices such as solenoids and relays as close as
possible to the receiver module. This will be explained in more detail under the “CONNECTING THE
OUTPUT DEVICES TO THE RADIO RECEIVER MODULE” section.
NOTE!!!
Do not mount the receiver module on any structure that is subjected to vibration. E.g. Avoid mounting the
receiver module on a valve riser assembly as the riser assembly is subjected to vibration while water
flow takes place.
Avoid mounting the radio receiver module in a metal or concrete enclosure or structure. Even a metal
cage will negatively influence radio signal. It is acceptable to mount the receiver module within a plastic
enclosure as shown in Figure 4
Figure 4
Avoid mounting the radio receiver in any location where corrosive gases are present.
Do not mount the receiver module underground.
Do not mount the receiver module in any location that can become flooded.
Avoid mounting the receiver module where it will be subjected to water jet/s. E.g. Do not mount the unit
directly next to a sprinkler where the jet of water being emitted by the sprinkler hits the receiver module.
Avoid locating the receiver module in dense vegetation and foliage.
Make certain acceptable radio reception is achievable when locating a receiver module in the vicinity of
high voltage power lines.
CONNECTING THE OUTPUT DEVICES TO THE RADIO RECEIVER MODULE
