Figure 1 Sample EchoStream system

The EchoStream survey kit provides you with two signal strength measurements: signal level and signal margin.

Signal level

The signal level is the measurement of the overall decibel level of the message.

Signal margin

The signal margin is the measurement of the decibel level of the message, minus the decibel level of any interfering signals. Inovonics Wireless equipment should be placed within a facility such that all end-devices produce signal margin readings of at least 4 decibels.

Both the signal level and signal margin are measured in decibels. Because signal strength and signal margin are measured on a logarithmic scale, the difference between a decibel level of 3 (Weak) and a decibel level of 4 (Good) is a much larger difference than it would be on a linear scale.

Note: For more information about the EchoStream survey kit, see the EN7017 Survey Kit and App Installation and Site Survey Instructions.

Caution: The EchoStream system should be tested regularly to ensure operation. To test: place the system in test mode, activate an end device, and ensure an appropriate response.

1.2 RF Signal Propagation

While wood, drywall and glass usually let the RF signals pass, some materials may inhibit or attenuate radio frequency (RF) signal propagation by blocking, reflecting, deflecting or absorbing RF signals.

Consider anything between transmitters and repeaters and/or the receiver. Is there concrete and steel construction? Are there earthen berms or hills? Are there a lot of trees? Devices should be mounted such that they are least affected by these elements.

For best results, transmitters and repeaters should be mounted at the optimal height to achieve line of sight to repeaters and/or the receiver. Usually this means they will be mounted as high as possible.

Following are some typical obstacles to RF signal propagation:

Material Affect Recommendation
Metal construction, including ductwork; pipes; studs; stucco, plaster or concrete with wire mesh; satellite dishes, metal-lined rooms such as walk-in coolers or freezers; metal siding, safes, etc.Can reflect, absorb and/or disrupt RF signals.Perform a site survey using an Inovonics wireless survey kit to verify the RF signal is acceptable, and, when necessary, to determine where to locate repeaters.
Completely enclosed metal boxes/enclosures.Can restrict RF signals.
Solar panels, cinder block walls, windows with built-in solar tinting.Can absorb and/or reflect RF signals.
Vegetation. Can attenuateRF signals. The RF environment can alter as trees shed or sprout leaves.Add repeaters as issues arise.
Automobile and truck traffic.Can disrupt RF signals.Mount Inovonics devices at a height sufficient to achieve line of sight above traffic.
