c. * Place each of the SCCs in a place exposed to sun light, up to the maximum height
from the sensor as per sensors’ cables length. Best energy results are obtained when unit
is pointed to area where maximal exposure to sunlight travel is obtained, (e.g. to the
south at northern hemisphere countries). The devices should be placed vertically so that
rain, snow or dirt will not build up on the solar panels. Use zip ties or iron wire to attach
the SCCs to the desired place (e.g. plant, pole, etc.)
d. Connect the cable of a 433MHz (magnetic base) antenna to each of SCCs’ (golden)
connectors
e. * For best radio communication performance, it is recommended to place the 433MHz
antennas highest as possible – to get minimal obstruction, by leaves, walls, etc. The
antenna has a magnet base that will make installation on a metal surface very easy.
While attaching the antenna base to a metallic surface is perfectly OK, please note that
metal elements that are located
between
the SCC antenna and the gateway might
seriously affect the radio communication or even totally block it. For best
communication it is desired to have a direct line-of-sight path free of metal obstacle
between antenna and gateway. Both the gateway’s and SCC’s antennas should be
installed in same, vertical orientation.
f.
The SCC’s energy storage are pre-charged hence start working automatically, and
transmit their respective sensor’s data every 30 minutes
3. Install the wireless gateway and plug it to the AC power:
Below is a drawing of the wireless gateway front panel. Note that in some models the “RF2”
connector is not populated.
a. Connect the cable of the 433MHz (magnet base) antenna to “RF” connector
b. * For best radio communication performance, it is recommended to place the 433MHz
antennas highest as possible – to get minimal obstruction, by leaves, walls, etc. The
antenna has a magnet base that will make installation on a metal surface very easy.

c. Connect the cellular antenna to “Cellular” connector
d. Connect the AC power adaptor to the 4-pin “Molex” connector on the left of the
Wireless Gateway Panel, as shown below:
