Radio Frequency (RF) Range
Clear Connect Type-X (CCX) devices communicate using a wireless mesh topology. To ensure proper communication, the following rules must be adhered to when designing the system:
- All CCX devices must be located within 75ft (22.9m) of the processor.
- At least 2 CCX devices must be located within 25ft (7.6m) of the processor.
- Each CCX device must be located within 25ft (7.6m) of two other CCX devices.
Indicates maximum allowable range between CCX devices.
Indicates maximum allowable range between a RA 3 processor and a CCX device.
Clear Connect Type-A (CCA) devices must be located within 30 ft (9.1m) of the RadioRA 3 processor or Repeater to ensure proper communication. Repeaters must be located within 60ft (18.2) of the Processor or another Repeater.
Indicates maximum allowable range between a processor/repeater and a CCA device.
Indicates maximum allowable range between a processor/repeater and another repeater.
