To maximize the value of the cloud connector, provide it with a direct signal path to the sensors
Cloud Connector cellular connection (requires built-in cellular
modem)
When a Cloud Connector that supports cellular is connected through the built-in cellular modem, we recommend reviewing the
connection after some time. DT Studio provides historical data on the Cloud Connector cellular connectivity.
The illustration below shows one acceptable installation with a slightly low average signal strength, but with few connection
drop-outs, and one unacceptable installation where the signal strength is su$cient, but connection drop-outs occur
periodically. Periodic drop-outs like this may indicate that the power socket in use is powered down each night, and is not
suitable to power the Cloud Connector.
Place it high up on a wall or right above ceiling panels
Place it in the center of the room/area to cover
Do not place it in a metal cage
Do not place it in a bundle of power cords and next to other equipment emitting radio noise
Rather use an extension cable, than accepting a sub-optimal location.
