Check the reception quality at the intended installa-
tion site: See the following chapter.
Checking the reception quality at the installation location
In order to check the reception quality at the intended
installation location, first start the Vitotrol 300-E: See
page 19.
Press the following buttons:
1.
Operating button

Note
To ensure a stable wireless connection, we recom-
mend a signal strength of at least –75 dBm: See the
following table.

0 to –55 Very good
–56 to –65 Good
–66 to –75 Adequate
–76 to –85 Inadequate
–86 to –... No reception
Range of the wireless signal
The range of wireless signals may be reduced by
walls, ceilings and interior fixtures. These weaken the
wireless signal, causing poor reception due to the fol-
lowing circumstances.
■
On their way between transmitter and receiver, wire-
less signals are damped, e.g. by air or when pene-
trating walls.
■
Wireless signals are reflected by metallic objects
e.g. reinforcements embedded in walls, metal foil of
thermal insulation and thermal glazing with metal-
lised thermal vapour deposit.
■
Wireless signals are isolated by service ducts and
lift shafts.
■
Wireless signals are disrupted by devices that also
operate with high frequency signals. Maintain a dis-
tance of at least 2 m from these devices:
–
Computers
–
Audio and video systems
–
Devices with active WiFi connection
–
Electronic transformers
–
Pre-ballasts
