Installation Location Guidelines
Where the Smart-Sync Bridge is mounted impacts its use and operation. It's recommended to view the Deployment Examples to ensure
proper placement of your Smart-Sync Bridge devices.
The guidelines below should be taken into consideration to ensure the installation location provides optimal performance.
WARNING:
If an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network is not available at the time of installation, the Smart-Sync Bridge is required to be set to No
Network mode to allow its communication with Smart-Sync Clocks over the Smart-Sync Bluetooth Network. For more
information, see "No Network mode" on page12.
Recommend installation location guidelines
l Mount the Smart-Sync Bridge high-up on a wall and clear of any metal obstructions to best propagate a Bluetooth Radio
Frequency (RF) signal.
l Allow for enough open area to orient the Smart-Sync antenna to point straight down (vertically) from the device to maximize its
signal reception.
l A Smart-Sync Clock is installed or planned to be installed within 80 feet (24.3 meters) from the mounting location. You can also
measure the Bluetooth signal strength at its installation location to determine if the location has adequate Bluetooth signal
strength.
l AC-power - verify an outlet is located within 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the mounting location.
l Ethernet/PoE use - verify an Ethernet enabled network port is in close proximity to the mounting location.
l Wi-Fi network use - verify there is a wireless signal strength of -60db or better at its mounting location. It's recommended to
measure the strength with a Wi-Fi analyzer app on your mobile phone.
Note:
The device is shock and vibration resistant; however, be careful not to drop or install the device in a location where it could be
exposed to excessive vibration.
