The mounting holes in the adapter bar match the existing mounting holes for
the Fastrack Supreme or Fastrack Xtend.
For DC installations (with a fixed “system” ground reference), Sierra Wireless
recommends always grounding the FX30S chassis to this system ground
reference.
To ensure a good grounding reference, attach the FX30S to a grounded metallic
surface.
Step 3—Connect the Antennas
Warning:
This gateway is not intended for use close to the human body. Antennas
should be at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from the operator.
The FX30S has two SMA female antenna connectors:
•
Cellular antenna connector
•
GNSS antenna connector
GNSS bias supports 3.15 V antennas
For regulatory requirements concerning antennas, see
Note: The antenna should not exceed the maximum gain specified in
page 64. In more complex installations (such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/
or multiple connections), you must follow the maximum dBi gain guidelines specified by the
radio communications regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
Industry Canada, or your country’s regulatory body.
