Installation
The gateway device should be installed as high as possible on a wall or beam, and away
from large metal objects (for best wireless performance). The gateway should,
preferably, be installed on a wood or sheet-rock surface. Concrete, brick, or metal walls
and surfaces should be avoided.
If the gateway is installed out-doors, make sure it is not installed in direct sunlight.
Install the gateway in a dry, shaded area such as under the eaves of a building. I shade is
not available, then the G200 gateway should be installed under a solar shade covering
accessory.
The gateway has four holes on upper and lower flanges for mounting to a surface with
screw fasteners. In some installations, it may be preferable to use double sided adhesive
foam tape.
The G200 should always be installed with the power supply cable exiting the enclosure
downwards (for the first few inches of cable at the least). This prevents moisture from
traveling along the cable and into the enclosure. Antennas on the (standard) G200 are
located internally to the enclosure. This provides protection from damage and provides
for a more robust installation in exposed or mobile applications.
A separate document, the
G200 Installation Guide
is available that covers the
installation of the G200 product at a user site.
