Tips for best use:
- Contactors and relays with AC coils can emit electromagnetic noise. If you intend to use such equipment nearby, ensure that there is at least 600mm separation from the receiver.
- Ambient temperature maximum is 45°C. Avoid enclosing the receiver with sources of heat like drivers, transformers, or luminaires.
- Metal sheeting can reduce the wireless range. Where possible, avoid using metal enclosures to house the units.
