Safety Precautions
•
Installation, operation, and maintenance of the Kona Macro Gateway must only be
performed by a professionally trained service technician who is aware of all hazards
involved.
•
The Kona Macro Gateway must be installed in a restricted access location (such that
touching of the Gateway by non-service persons is not likely).
•
The Kona Macro Gateway may become hot to the touch during normal operation at
elevated ambient temperatures. The surface temperature of the Gateway may reach 90°C.
•
The Kona Macro Gateway has no internal field serviceable parts. The Gateway module must
only be opened by an approved TEKTELIC service center.
•
All installation practices must be in accordance with the local and national electrical codes.
•
Do not work on the system during periods of lightning activity.
•
The Kona Macro Gateway is considered permanently connected equipment. The Protective
Earth Ground connection (that is, the two-hole lug to chassis ground) is always required.
•
Ensure the Kona Macro Gateway Protective Earth Ground connection is properly terminated
prior to the connection of any other interfaces.
•
The Kona Macro Gateway contains primary lightning surge suppression on the Direct DC
power port, the Copper Ethernet port, the GPS antenna port and the LoRa RF antenna
ports. The primary lightning protectors have the ability to bridge the interface isolation
boundary during over-voltages. Ensure that the Protective Earth Ground connection is
always in place.
•
Ensure that the Kona Macro Gateway, its antennas and supporting structures are properly
secured to eliminate any physical hazard to people or property. The Gateway must be
securely mounted according to the mounting instructions prior to any cable connection and
operation.
•
The Kona Macro Gateway does not contain a power supply disconnection device; a readily
accessible disconnection device must be incorporated external to the Kona Macro Gateway.
•
The direct DC powered Kona Macro Gateway shall be supplied through an input overcurrent
protection device rated not more than 10 A. The overcurrent protection must have the
appropriate current interrupt capacity for the power source and must be incorporated into
the non-earthed conductor(s) of the Kona Macro Gateway DC supply.
