Smaxtec Classic - Installation and Activation

5.2.1. Installation and Activation
Caution: Please observe all safety instructions concerning electrical
devices and installations.
Note:
Following correct installation of the smaXtec Repeater (see Quickstart Guide and
Chapter 5.1 in this User Manual), the measurement data are automatically read out
from the smaXtec Sensors whenever the cows are within range (read out range is 10
- 30 meters/32 - 96 feet).
The most important steps for successful installation of the smaXtec Repeater are
described below:
1. Before installation and activation of the smaXtec Repeater
Activation in smaXtec Messenger – menu item “Add device”: Device activation is
required to ensure the device can be correctly assigned to the user and used in
smaXtec Messenger.
2. Choose the most suitable location for the smaXtec Repeater
Before mounting the smaXtec Repeater, please select the most suitable location as
described in the Quickstart Guide. The following points must be observed and
implemented:
• Suitable position: Waiting area, milking area, feeding stations, massage
brushes (areas in which the cows spend longer periods of time)
• Power outlet must be no further than 3 m/10 ft away as the mains adapter
cable provided is 3 m/10 ft long.
• Mount at a minimum height of 2 m/6 ft (not within reach of cows)
• Do not mount in a closed storeroom (transmission problems)
• Position close to the cows (the smaXtec Repeater can read out smaXtec
Sensors within a radius of 10 - 30 meters/32 - 96 feet)
• An unobstructed view enables greater range for additional smaXtec Repeaters
and/or to the smaXtec Base Station
• Do not expose the smaXtec Repeater and the mains adapter to direct sunlight
or rain.
3. Mounting of the smaXtec Repeater
