Ensuring Good Signal Conditions
To ensure optimal Bluetooth communication performance, consider the following recommendations when selecting the installation site for the gateway:
Place the gateway in an open area, at least 1 meter above the ground.
Avoid installing the gateway close to corners, or large metal surfaces that may block or reflect Bluetooth signals.
Keep the gateway away from sources of electromagnetic interference such as Wi-Fi routers or industrial equipment.
Avoid placing the gateway inside cabinets, enclosures, or behind objects that may reduce signal strength.
If multiple gateways are used, maintain sufficient spacing between them to minimize mutual interference.
After installation, verify Bluetooth signal quality and communication stability with all connected devices to confirm proper operation.
