If you are testing the devices before installing them, verify the devices are at least two meters apart to avoid over-driving
the link.
2.3.1 Signal Strength Indicator
The rate at which the Signal LED blinks amber indicates the signal strength between the Gateway and Node.
Blinking every 1/8 second = fewer than 3% missed packets
Blinking every 1/4 second = 3–25% missed packets
Blinking every 1/2 second = 26–50% missed packets
Blinking every 1 second = more than 50% missed packets
2.4 Installing Your SureCross
®
Radios
The following are some recommendations for installing your wireless network components.
2.4.1 Mounting SureCross Devices Outdoors
Use a Secondary Enclosure. For most outdoor applications, we recommend installing your SureCross devices inside a
secondary enclosure. For a list of available enclosures, refer to the Accessories list.
Point Away From Direct Sunlight. When you are not using a secondary
enclosure, minimize the damaging effects of ultra-violet radiation by mounting
the devices to avoid facing intense direct sunlight.
•
Mount under an overhang or other source of shade,
•
Install indoors, or
•
Face the devices north when installing outside.
For harsh outdoor applications, consider installing your radio inside a secondary
enclosure. For a list of available enclosures, refer to the Accessories list.
Mount Vertically to Avoid Collecting Rain. When possible, mount the devices where rain or snow will drain away from
the device.
•
Mount vertically so that precipitation, dust, and dirt do not accumulate on permeable surfaces.
•
Avoid mounting the devices on flat or concave surfaces, especially if the display will be pointing up.
Remove Moisture and Condensation. If condensation is present in any
device, add a small desiccant packet to the inside of the radio. To help vent the
radios, Banner also sells a vented plug (model number BWA-HW-031) for the
1/2-inch NPT port of the SureCross radios.
