Safety Precautions
•
Installation, operation, and maintenance of the KONA Mega Gateway must only be
performed by a professionally trained service technician who is aware of all hazards involved.
•
The KONA Mega Gateway must be installed in a restricted access location (such that touching
of the Gateway by non-service persons is not likely).
•
The KONA Mega Gateway may become hot to the touch during normal operation at elevated
ambient temperatures. The surface temperature of the Gateway may reach 90°C.
•
The KONA Mega Gateway has no internal field serviceable parts. The Gateway module must
only be opened by an approved TEKTELIC service center.
•
All installation practices must be in accordance with the local and national electrical codes.
•
Do not work on the system during periods of lightning activity.
•
The KONA Mega Gateway is considered permanently connected equipment. The Protective
Earth Ground connection (that is, the two-hole lug to chassis ground) is always required.
•
Ensure the KONA Mega Gateway Protective Earth Ground connection is properly terminated
prior to the connection of any other interfaces.
•
The KONA Mega Gateway contains primary lightning surge suppression on the Direct DC
power port, the Copper Ethernet port, the GPS antenna port and the LoRa RF antenna ports.
The primary lightning protectors have the ability to bridge the interface isolation boundary
during over-voltages. Ensure that the Protective Earth Ground connection is always in place.
•
Ensure that the KONA Mega Gateway, its antennas and supporting structures are properly
secured to eliminate any physical hazard to people or property. The Gateway must be
securely mounted according to the mounting instructions prior to any cable connection and
operation.
•
The KONA Mega Gateway does not contain a power supply disconnection device; a readily
accessible disconnection device must be incorporated external to the KONA Mega Gateway.
•
The direct DC powered KONA Mega Gateway shall be supplied through an input overcurrent
protection device rated not more than 10 A. The overcurrent protection must have the
appropriate current interrupt capacity for the power source and must be incorporated into
the non-earthed conductor(s) of the KONA Mega Gateway DC supply.
