NetBotz Wireless Temperature Sensor Installation Guide
11
Updating the Wireless Temperature Sensor
Firmware updates for the Wireless Temperature Sensor are included in the
BotzWare firmware releases. When a BotzWare firmware update is available,
you download it from the APC website and install it on the NetBotz appliance.
Once the BotzWare firmware update is applied, and the Coordinator receives
the firmware update package from the NetBotz appliance, the Wireless
Temperature Sensor receives the update package from the Coordinator over the
wireless network.
When all the devices on the network have received the update package, the
Firmware Update Available button is activated in the Wireless Sensor Setup
task in the Advanced View. You click the button to reboot each Wireless
Temperature Sensor to apply the firmware update.
Mounting the Wireless Temperature Sensor
When planning your installation locations, be sure to place each Wireless
Temperature Sensor within range of a Router or a Coordinator device. The
maximum wireless range of the Wireless Temperature Sensor is 75 ft (line of
sight). This range is a best-case scenario and the signal will be strongly affected
by environmental interference. Use the RSSI sensor reading (available in the
device’s sensor listing in Advanced View) to tune device placement.
To improve connection strength, it is recommended to use a Router in every
third rack to boost reception.
The recommended minimum distance between wireless devices is 2 ft.
Additional information on device placement may be found on the APC
Knowledge Base, http://www.apc.com/support/answers.cfm.
Choose the option below that fits your installation location.
Note: Install the Wireless Temperature Sensor in an environment
compatible with the environmental specifications on page 13.
Magnetic installation
Mount the Wireless Temperature Sensor in the desired location in the rack using
the magnets on its base.
