Each wireless sensor has a line-of-sight range of approximately 500’. Due to the cavernous features of most self storage facilities you rarely ever achieve true line-of-site or have units that are only within 500’ of the office. In those cases you will need to use a wireless transceiver, or repeater.
Each repeater is mounted inside a weatherproof plastic housing approximately 14” L x 8”W x 4”D. The repeater requires 120VAC for power, but otherwise requires no hard wire connection to the office or any other device. Power locations should be within 50’ of the repeater. Each repeater should be mounted with the antennae pointing up.
Your facility layout will determine the exact number of repeaters required, but is important to install them based on their ID number and in accordance to the equipment layout provided by the QuikStor Installation Department.
Repeaters can only listen to IDs of a higher value (i.e. 2 can listen to 3, 4 can listen to 5, etc). So if laying out your own repeater configuration you want to keep the lower ID numbers closest to the office and expand around the facility with increasingly higher numbers.
