4.  Range of HomeBase
The Range of a HomeBase is defined as is indicated in the picture. The range directly
above the antenna is close to nihil, the distance left and right of the HomeBase has a
distance of 50 meters in each direction, depending on the structure of the building. The
higher you will place the HomeBase the greater the range will be.
4.1.  Placement of the HomeBase
Best Position
The best position to put your HomeBase
is upside down against the ceiling, you
will cover the biggest range when you
put a HomeBase against the ceiling. The
higher the ceiling, the better the
connection and range is.
Acceptable
Putting the HomeBase like this is
acceptable only when it is put at a
certain height. You can not put it on the
floor and then expect it to have a large
range.

Wrong
When placing the HomeBase like this,
you will not have any coverage in the
direction the antenna is pointing. Never
install a HomeBase like this.
Every object made up of metal are a shield for the RF coverage of the HomeBase. If you
have a wall with metal in it, it will act as a cage of Faraday and seal all RF in it. Same
goes for mirrors and windows with an mirror surface, these glass surfaces are treated
with a metal or metal gas and act as shields for RF. Never put a HomeBase near
electrical appliances, because these will interfere with the RF communication.
5.  Slave HomeBase
5.1.  What is a Slave HomeBase
A slave can be seen as an extra HomeBase connected to a Master HomeBase to extend
its range.  The only thing a Slave HomeBase does is gather the data and send it to a
Master HomeBase. You can compare a Slave HomeBase to a relay station, it only relays
the data going to or coming from the Master HomeBase.
5.2.  Setting up a Slave HomeBase
The Master HomeBase should be connected via its RS-485 connector to a slave, the slave
has been configured that both connectors are RS-485 so you cannot miss which
connector to use.
You can place up to 7 slaves in series with a Master HomeBase. The maximum length of
cable between a Master HomeBase and a Slave HomeBase is 500 meters.
