i-ALERT Gateway Quick Start Guide
The following guide provides the basic instructions to install your i-ALERT Gateway. Please read the full
i-ALERT Gateway Installation and Operation Manual at
www.i-alert.com/xxxxx
prior to installing your i-
ALERT Gateway.
Select Location
Select a location central to the nearest cluster of i-ALERT enabled machines. The typical
range from the i-ALERT Gateway to the i-ALERT sensors is 100 to 250ft (30-80M).
To verify what i-ALERTs are in range. Open the i-ALERT Mobile App and go to the Scan for
Devices Screen to verify what i-ALERT sensors are in Bluetooth range.
Use a mobile device with a cellular connection to check signal strength. The location should
have at least 1 bar (2 preferable) of reception.
Installation
Install the gateway on a wall or pole (pole mount kit sold separately) that elevates the i-
ALERT Gateway a minimum of 6 ft (2m) off the ground and no more than 50ft (15m) above
any i-ALERT enabled machines.
Verify the i-ALERT gateway environmental and hazardous location ratings meet the
minimum requirements for the area selected.
Power Up
The i-ALERT Gateway comes in two versions. A 120-220VAC and a 9-60VDC version.
Check the label on the bottom of the gateway to determine which voltage to apply.
Install power cabling and fasten the cover on the i-ALERT gateway before applying power.
Auto-Configure
Apply power.
The i-ALERT Gateway will automatically configure to the cellular network and detect any i-
ALERT sensors in range.
Depending on the number of i-ALERT sensors this process will take 10-60 minutes.
Verify
In order to view the i-ALERT sensors online go to
www.i-alert.ai
and sign in with your i-ALERT
account.
You must have an i-ALERT Ai Platform PRO account to view your sensors.
Only i-ALERT sensors that are registered to your account can be viewed online.
Once you log into the i-ALERT Ai Platform you will see a wireless icon
next to an i-ALERT
sensor that is receiving data via the i-ALERT Gateway.
