Range - Conrad WS55 Bedienungsanleitung

15. Range

The range of transmission of the radio signals to the base station is up to 100m. under optimum
conditions. This is often also called "free field range".
However, this ideal arrangement (e.g. base station and outdoor sensor on a plain, even
meadow without trees, houses etc.) never exists in practice.
Normally, the base station is installed in the house, the combi sensor in the yard and other
outdoor sensors e.g. in an adjoining building (e.g. in an aviary) or a garage.
The range can sometimes be considerably reduced due to:
• Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings
• Coated/metalized insulation glazing
• Vehicles
• Trees, bushes, earth, rocks
• Proximity to metal & conducting objects (e.g. radiators)
• Proximity to human body
• Broadband interferences, e.g. in residential areas (DECT telephones, mobiles, radio-
controlled headphones, radio-controlled speakers, other radio-controlled weather sta-
tions, babyphones etc.)
• Proximity to electric motors, transformers, power-supply units, computers
• Proximity to badly shielded or openly operated computers or other electric devices

Since local conditions are different at every location site, a definite range
cannot be guaranteed.
When the base station doesn't receive any data from the pool sensor, combi
sensor or eventually additional existing outdoor sensors (despite new batter-
ies), reduce the distance between outdoor sensors and base station, change
the installation site.
In general, operation in the vicinity of a one-family house should function
properly.
