There are nine steps in installing MQ03-LTE-M-FIRE properly. In the following steps you will use the communicator and the
RControl Admin application to determine the signal strength to find a suitable mounting location.
1.
For UL installations, the communicator must be mechanically secured to a UL Listed enclosure such as a UL Listed
junction box. Use the communicator box as a template and mark the holes on the mounting surface. Pre-start the
mounting screws (not supplied) for these two holes. Slide the box onto these screws and tighten the screws.
2.
Connect the antenna to the communicator.
The antenna is supplied with SMA connector, that allows easy connection to the communicator. The body of the
antenna has a magnet in the bottom and can be attached to the wall of the metal alarm panel box or use double
sided adhesive type to securely attach the antenna to the box. The antenna should be position perpendicular to the
ground, either right side up or upside down. Try to keep the antenna away from sources of RF interference or where
metal objects can shield it or otherwise block the cellular radio RF signal.
WARNING
: The internal antenna used with this product must be installed to provide separation distance of at least
7.8 in (20cm) from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedure.
Note:
Antenna problems are rare unless the premises are in an area with poor network coverage, in a building below
ground, or in a metal structure. If you require antenna with a longer cable, please contact your M2M Services
representative.
Do not use the unit with a damaged antenna. Have your antenna replaced immediately. Use only a manufacturer
approved antenna. Non-approved antennas or modifications could impair service quality, damage the device and
violate FCC regulations.
3.
Connect the communicator to the alarm panel. Refer to the wiring diagram provided in the previous section.
4.
Power up the panel.
