To successfully install the Captis you must perform the following steps. Each step is described in more detail
in the following sections.

Decide on the location for the external antenna (if required)
3.
Terminate the sensor.
4.

MOUNTING THE CAPTIS
Consider the following points when deciding on the mounting location for the Captis:
•
If the Captis device is installed underground or inside a metal cabinet, an external LTE antenna must
be used. Ensure that your Captis device supports external antenna connection. The antenna lead
must be routed to an open area where radio signal is less obstructed.
•
Ensure there are no physical obstructions to the radio signal reaching the antenna. This applies to
both models of Captis devices with an internal antenna or an external antenna.
The Captis devices can be mounted in a range of positions and methods. Around the Captis enclosure there
are:
-
2 Screw tabs for wall mounting.
-
Vertical and Horizontal channels to accommodate a standard 15mm pipe clamp or cable ties
For special applications suitable mounting bracket solutions may be offered.
