The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm
from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Channel
The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.
Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel
which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channel are
available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to
reduce interference.
In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point. If
more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen
within an ESS).
Is using "Ad-hoc" mode (No Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel.
However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group
they can join.

Deployment Examples
These deployment examples provide a visual illustration of various deployments, including deploying the Smart-Sync™ Synchronized
Time in a building with single floors and multiple floors. Different facility layouts and interiors may present a variety of considerations
when planning an accurate and effective deployment.
These deployment examples are to be referenced as general guidelines and it's recommended that a Smart-Sync Site Survey is
completed. The results of the survey provide a deployment guide for the installation of Smart-Sync devices at your facility.
Single floor | less than 200 clocks
General guidelines
Install Smart-Sync Bridge off a corridor and ideally in a central location.
Always install and power-on a Smart-Sync Bridge before installing Smart-Sync Clocks.
Start by installing Smart-Sync Clocks that are located closest to the Smart-Sync Bridge and then work outward. A Smart-Sync
Clock should always be first powered on at its designated installation location.
It's recommended to measure the Bluetooth signal strength at the installation location of the first clock - to verify its Bluetooth
wireless connection and communication path to the Smart-Sync Bridge.
If a clock fails to set its time, measure the Bluetooth signal strength at an installation location. This determines if the location has
adequate Bluetooth signal strength, resulting in no coverage gap.

for Mobile is available for iOS and Android™ devices and can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
Smart-Sync Bridge devices advertise as Bridge and Smart-Sync Clocks advertise as PrimexClock. The device's 12-character Device
ID is displayed to uniquely identify each device advertising.
Smart-Sync Clock - the Bluetooth Radio Frequency (RF) signal is required to be -1 to -85 dBm at the installation location.
