Connector Operation
TIP: Use the plate as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes you need to
drill before installing the mounting kit onto the connector transmitter.
4.2.2 Mounting
When mounting your connector/transmitter, care should be taken to make sure
it is as far away from any metal objects. If nearby metal gets too close to your
connector/transmitter, it has the potential to interfere with the way the unit
radiates and may cause signal lose or possibly even the inability to communicate
at all with your receiver.
4.2.3 Installation
When installing your connector/transmitter it is important to position your
device in such a way as to optimize the antenna location within what's known as
the "Fresnel Zone".
The Fresnel Zone can be thought of as a football-shaped invisible tunnel between
two locations that provides a path for RF signals between your connector/
transmitter and your receiver.
