Where should I mount the Alert Station?

Placement depends on your deployment type.

Aquatics deployments: Mount the Alert Station at least 5 feet high on a wall in a central, visible location near the pool — like a main corridor or aquatics office — where its audible alarm and strobe lights are clearly visible to staff. It needs to be within direct LoRa signal range of your Rafts.

Card deployments: Mount the Alert Station centrally — typically near a front office, main hallway, or staff hub — within range of at least one Repeater. Its audible alarm and strobe serve as facility-wide alert indicators, so position it where the most staff will see and hear it.
