If the programming mode is not closed manually, theCMC-TC Wireless I/O-Unit returns automatically to normal mode two minutes after the last registration action.7.5 Tips and Notes for the Sensor PlacementTo prevent malfunctions and to ensure reliable op-eration, the sensors should be positioned as de-scribed in Subsection 7.5.1. Detailed fundamentalinformation for the used wireless technology is de-scribed in Subsection 7.5.2.Before starting the measurement, all I/O-Units and repeaters must be installalled and all antennas mustbe aligned.7.5.1 Tips for the Calibration of the Sen-sor Locations To ensure the best possible reception of the individ-ual sensors, the suitability of each sensor location must be tested in advance using the wireless meas-uring system sensor (DK 7320.242).Procedure:i. Place the I/O-Unit into operation at the planned location as described in Section7.1.Tip: Before starting the calibration, succes-sively connect all sensors to the I/O-Unit.This causes the sensors to be placed in front of the measuring system sensor in theregistration list of the Processing Unit II. This simplifies the subsequent administra-tion.ii. Connect the wireless measuring systemsensor to the I/O-Unit (see Section 7.2). To do this, proceed as follows:Place the I/O-Unit in programming mode(press the C key for three seconds) > pressthe key on the wireless sensor for five sec-onds (resets the sensor) > press the key on the wireless sensor 1 second > the LED flashes once briefly > sensor is registered > leave programming mode of the I/O-Unit(press the C key for two seconds, the wire-less connection LED on the I/O-Unit lightsup green).iii. Place the sensor attachment bracket at the required sensor location (true for all sensortypes). The sensor front side edge mustpoint later in the I/O-Unit direction.iv. Place the measuring system sensor on the attachment bracket. The sensor positionduring the measurement must be the sameas the operation position.v. Perform a one-minute measurement with the measuring system sensor: Press thekey on the measuring system sensor > the result of the previous measurement willbe displayed for five seconds > "1" flashesin the display (indicates the one-minutemeasurement) > if a different number is dis-played flashing, press the key several timesuntil the "1" appears > the measurementCMC TC Wi l I/O U it
7 Commissioning EN starts after 5 seconds > the measurementresult (0-9) will be displayed after one min-ute.(Details for the measurement and measur-ing times are contained in the operating in-structions of the wireless sensors.) vi. Measurement result 8-9: The connection is suitable for the productive operation. Re-move the measuring system sensor andplace the required sensor (temperature, humidity, access or digital input) on the at-tachment bracket.vii. Measurement result 0-7: Sensor locationnot suitable. Change the position of the sensor, use a repeater (see Chapter 9) or use an external antenna. Then repeat themeasurement.viii. Repeat steps iii. to vii. for each additional sensor.The wireless sensors now have an adequate con-nection to the I/O-Unit. This completes the installa-tion of the system. If problems in the wireless area occur during the installation of the system, Subsection 7.5.4 de-scribes the appropriate troubleshooting for correct-ing the fault. 7.5.2 Introduction to the Wireless Data Transmission for the Rittal Wire-less Sensor NetworkThis section describes the principles of the associ-ated wireless technology that can be useful for set-ting up the wireless installation.The sensor system operates with a frequency of 2.4 GHz. This means an optical consideration is helpful for an initial planning for suitable installationlocations and distances.The wireless signal is considered as being a light beam with a dispersion characteristic appropriate for light.If you follow this model, it becomes clear that a di-rect line-of-sight connection between the base and the sensor is the most favourable installation vari-ant. Walls, furnishings, etc., in the vicinity can, how-ever, act as a "mirror" that reflects the signal like light. In this case, not only the original signal, but also reflected signals from various directions arriveat the receiving point. It is possible that the sent data are incorrectly combined in the receiver. This effect is called multi-path reception and can causemajor impairment of the reception quality.This means even a line-of-sight connection between the transmitter and the receiver is no guarantee for a good connection.Signal weakeningEven without obstacles, the sent wireless signal is subject to a natural attenuation. The electric and magnetic field strengths reduce by the factor 1/r2.This means for distances exceeding approximately1 m, the signal strength reduces by the factor 4 when the distance is doubled. Consequently, at 10 m distance from the transmitter, only 1/100 of the signal strength compared with that at 1 m distancewill be received.Any object through which the wireless signal needsto penetrate causes an absorption of the signal (op-tical model: the light will be weaker). Whereas light-weight partition walls and doors cause only small signal attenuation, masonry walls and coated glass,persons or animals cause more signal attenuation;metal causes large signal attenuation. Metal gridsact like metal walls.Fig. 20 Absorption of the wireless signal by variousmaterialsSubsection 7.5.3 provides a general estimate of what ranges can be expected for certain installation situations.
