Homeworks HQP7-RF-2 - Step 1 - Choose a Location to Install; Distances for Wireless Devices

3
Reliability of Clear Connect wireless communication requires that the wireless processor
be centrally-located and within a maximum distance of the specific wireless devices
in the system. A maximum of 16 total wired and wireless processors can be on
one system. Wireless processors must be mounted 5 ft (1.5 m) away from wireless
interference sources like microwaves, Wireless Access Points (WAPs), etc. PoE wiring
must be kept internal to the building. Do not run PoE wiring outdoors or install the
processor in metallic enclosures.
Step 1 — Choose a Location to Install
Distances for Wireless Devices
• Each device must be within 30 ft (9 m) of a repeater or wireless processor.
• Repeaters can be spanned up to 60 ft (18 m) apart from other repeaters to create
the network.
For myLutron users, please see Application Note 745 for additional information on
Clear Connect - Type X Best Practices on www.lutron.com.
• All devices associated with the wireless processor must be within a 75 ft (23 m) radius
of the processor.
• There must be a minimum of two devices within 25 ft (7.6 m) of the wireless processor.
• Each Clear Connect – Type X device should have two or more non-battery powered
Type X devices within 25 ft (7.6 m) of another compatible Clear Connect – Type X
device. Using more than two devices is ideal for creating an ultra high-performance
mesh network.
