WIRELESS INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION REFERENCE GUIDE FOR TB7200/TB7300/TB7600 SERIES THERMOSTATS
Move to another cluster of thermostats at different points to determine the radius. This represents the maximum radius
of the first hop where connectivity is possible based on the building environment and partition construction. Please note
that this distance can be anywhere from 0 to hundreds of feet (Fig. 10). It's possible that another location may improve
your network performance or that you may require an additional controller with a wireless communication card or addi-
tional wireless repeaters.

3. Next test the signal strength at each location where a thermostat is to be installed. The signal strength at each location can
be anywhere from 10% to 100%. Testing each proposed thermostat location ensures no unexpected obstacles or unfore-
seen sources of interference will affect each wireless thermostat at the time of installation.
4. Once all thermostats within the radius have been tested, place a thermostat at the first cluster of thermostats tested. Go to
another cluster of thermostats extending outward from the radius of the first hop. Locate the boundary where the signal
strength is about 20%. This represents the maximum radius of the second hop where connectivity is possible based on the
building environment and partition construction.
