Small Phillips head screw driver
•
Option- Other fasteners types or double-sided foam adhesive tape can also be used to install the G200 gateway.
Mounting Location Considerations:
1.
Mount the G200 above a 120V 60Hz power outlet. The G200 gateway should be installed as high as possible for best RF
(wireless) performance.
2.
Attempt to install sensor nodes close to the gateway (but do not install nodes closer than 5 feet). Also install sensor nodes
as high as possible on equipment, for best wireless (RF) performance. The gateway should be in the center of the sensor
node grouping.
3.
To ensure the best wireless performance select a “free-space” installation location that is not near, or covered by, large metal
objects. Avoid mounting the gateway to concrete walls or metal surfaces (wood or sheet-rock mounting surface is preferred).
If no wood or sheet-rock surfaces are available, then mounting to metal, concrete, or brick surfaces is acceptable.
4.
For indoor operation, select a location that is not exposed to drastic temperature changes, and not in direct sunlight. Avoid
areas of temperature extremes (for example, heat from ovens, cooling racks, hot exhaust).
5.
Install the G200 gateway in an “out of the way” location that does not affect the daily movement and working conditions of
persons or employees Ensure the G200 gateway is installed in a place that allows easy access for servicing (removal of lid,
or removal of complete G200 device from the wall).
6.
For outdoor operation, solar loading on the plastic enclosure can heat the electronics inside the case. Avoid mounting
locations that are in direct sunlight, especially at mid and late day. Mount the gateway under building eaves, or other
protected areas. A solar hood will be required when mounting in direct sunlight.
