Site Survey/Setup Tool The Wireless Setup Tool,model WST,is required for installation. See document#5401608 for more information regarding the setup tool.The tool is used to check signal strength between all devices among other features.It is strongly recommended a site survey be conducted before installing the wireless system.Failure to conduct a thorough site survey may result in communication errors later.The installer should determine where the transmitter will be located. The receiver shall be mounted adjacent to the fire panel. Typically,higher on a wall allows the receiver to"see"over obstructions and provides a better path for the wireless signal. Keep in mind that the metal framing of a drop ceiling can affect the signal.The receiver should not be installed near a large metal object as that could attenuate the signal. After identifying the location of the transmitter and receiver the installer should walk around and in between the areas where the transmitter and receiver will be installed and look for possible obstructions to the wireless signal such as metal fences,metal doors,wired glass and other metal objects.The installer should investigate to determine if the normal business processes throughout the day might result in an obstruction between the transmitter and receiver.Possible obstructions could include the movement of equipment or fork trucks,traffic patterns for shipping,deliveries,trash pickup,food trucks,etc. In addition to the above-mentioned scenarios,there is the possibility of interior building changes such as the relocation of metal file cabinets or shelving or changes to the interior of the building that could affect the signal path.Document and keep as much information about the site survey as possible. This will come in handy if someone must return for troubleshooting later.The notes may be helpful to determine what,if anything,has changed.When bidding wireless jobs,it may be wise to consider that a repeater may eventually be needed. The setup tool can be used to measure the strength and quality of the communication signal between all Potter wireless devices on the network.The setup tool also allows the user to pair devices together,check battery life,add or delete repeaters,check traffic on the default communication channel, change channels and other functions.Wireless devices communicate on a specific channel on their selected frequency.Heavy traffic on a channel can lead to communication issues.The setup tool allows the installer to check for traffic on the default channel and if necessary,to change the channel. Potter wireless devices are factory set on channel 4.The installer may want to inquire if a wireless network is running at the facility and what channel it is and change the Potter devices to a different channel.
