E306 Device Placement

Mounting Devices

• Do not locate the monitoring node inside of a fully enclosed metal structure.

• Some separation from metallic surfaces improves radio performance.

• Mounting brackets provide some separation between the monitoring unit and metal surfaces such as cabinets and can improve radio performance.

• The E306 has an optional mounting bracket (PN: MOUNT-EGEM) that includes an adhesive pad and can also be fastened using screws or tie wraps.

Node Spacing and Placement

• Monitoring units must be within 10 to 30 meters (30-100 feet) of another monitoring unit or a Gateway. The network will automatically optimize how traffic flows over the network in order to maximize battery life.

Always mount monitors at the highest point that allows an unobstructed path to another monitoring node or Gateway.
