Follow these guidelines when locating a ZFR1811 Router within a ZFR1800 Series System.
-
Locate the ZFR1811 Router so that it is easily accessible.
-
For best signal transmission, vertically orient the ZFR1811 Router with the flag end of the router exposed below (and clear of) any pipes, duct work, or other metal obstructions by at least 50 mm (2 in.). Do not mount the ZFR1811 Router in a horizontal orientation. See Figure 1 and Figure 1.

Due to the nature of the radio frequency waves, a wireless device may have significantly different signal strengths if its position changes relative to another wireless device or if its environment changes. If a ZFR1811 Router shows poor signal strength, you may be able to improve the signal strength by rotating the ZFR1811 Router.
-
Locate the ZFR1811 Router in line-of-sight with as many ZFR1811 Routers and WRZ Sensors as possible.
-
Do not mount the ZFR1811 Router in recessed areas, metal enclosures, or shelving units.
