If obstacles exist between two points resulting in poor signal strength, the communicating devices can be raised on one or
both ends to clear the Fresnel zone of obstructions. How far above the ground and other obstacles the antennas need to be is
determined by the diameter of the Fresnel zone. In this case, the central diameter required is approximately 3 meters (10 feet).
Mounting Devices
When mounting your devices, care should be taken to make sure they are as far away from metal objects as possible. It is
advisable to give at least four inches of separation, more if possible, between the communicating device and other metal
structures or objects. If nearby metal gets too close to the antenna it has the potential to interfere with transmission and may
reduce its range.

The communicating devices should be mounted as high enough off of the
ground as possible, 6 feet is the optimum height for Bluelab Connect Devices.
Transmission is most effective with a clear, unobstructed line of sight between the two points...
a radio frequency (RF) line of sight requires a ‘Fresnel Zone’.
