environmental protection could be affected.
InstallingtheRTU
The following restrictions apply:
• In general, the typical “line-of sight” distance the RTU can
communicate is 1 km (0.6 miles). This is valid if both the RTU and
its partner device are mounted on a 3 m mast (9 ft.). The results
can vary under different conditions and you could achieve higher
or lower distances.
• As with all wireless communication devices, the higher the
transmitter is installed, the better the communication will be.
