Installation Precautions
1)
In mountainous or thunderstorm-stricken areas, please take lightening protection measures. For
fiberglass LoRa antenna, you will need to install a lightening arrester and make sure it is connected
to the ground. In addition, the gateway should be mounted lower than the lightening rod.
2)
When installing the gateway in outdoor environment, the connected part should be protected with
waterproof tape, to enhance waterproof performance and lengthen device lifespan. As shown below,
use self-adhesive tape to protect the connection. Take a rubber tape at the length of 10cm ~ 15cm,
pull it to twice of that length
wind the tape clockwise to the connected part of the antenna.
