WIRELESS INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION REFERENCE GUIDE FOR TB7200/TB7300/TB7600 SERIES THERMOSTATS
• In order to avoid interference from other wireless devices, such as wireless routers, wireless adapters or laptops using
wireless networks, etc., ensure that a minimum distance of 3 feet (1 meter) is maintained between any Honeywell wireless
device and any Wi-Fi devices. A distance of 10 feet (3 meters) or more is preferred when possible (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3. Minimum 3 feet (1 M) between Wi-Fi equipment and Honeywell wireless devices.
Preferably 10 feet (3 M) or more between Wi-Fi equipment and Honeywell wireless devices
• Ensure that at least one thermostat is within 50 feet (15 M) of the controller with wireless card for every cluster of 10
thermostats installed. WEB-2xx controllers have a recommended max of 30 wireless thermostats per controller. If 30
thermostats are installed, three thermostats should be installed within 50 feet of the controller with wireless card. WEB-6xx
and WEB-7xx controllers have a recommended max of 50 wireless thermostats per controller. If 50 thermostats are installed,
five thermostats should be within 50 feet of the controller with wireless card. (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5)
• Always install the controller with wireless card closest to the center of all associated wireless thermostats.
• Always locate the controller with wireless card near or in the direct line of sight to as many wireless thermostats as possible.
• Avoid metal, brick walls or concrete obstructions between wireless devices as much as possible.
• Make sure the antenna on the wireless card is perpendicular to the floor.
• Avoid placing the controller with wireless card and the thermostats near metal or enclosing the controller with wireless card in
a metal box. If the controller needs to be installed inside a metal cabinet, use the remote antenna accessory (TB-RA-1014).
