Psion Teklogix 9160 G2 Benutzerhandbuch

2.1  Choosing The Right Location

Typically, Psion Teklogix conducts a site survey in the plant and then recommends 
the preferred locations for the 9160 G2s. These locations provide good radio cover-
age, minimize the distance to the host computer or network controller, and meet the 
environmental requirements.

2.1.1  Environment

2.1.1.1  9160 G2 Wireless Gateway

The 9160 G2 should be located in a well-ventilated area and should be protected 
from extreme temperature fluctuations (i.e. direct heater output, shipping doors or 
direct sunlight). If a protective cover is required, it must have enough ventilation 
to maintain the 9160 G2’s surface at or near room temperature. 

Refer to Chapter 25: “Specifications” for a more detailed description of environ-
mental requirements. Keep in mind that the long term stability of this equipment 
will be enhanced if the environmental conditions are less severe than those listed in 
this manual.

The 9160 G2 should be situated away from the path of vehicles and free from water 
or dust spray. The 9160 G2 should only be mounted in the upright position, as 
shown in Figure 2.1 on page 18. This orientation minimizes the risk of water enter-
ing the 9160 G2, should the unit accidentally be sprayed. 

The 9160 G2 is attached to a vertical surface using four fasteners on the rear plate 
(type of fasteners are dependent on mounting surface). The top two holes in the rear 
plate are slots, allowing the unit to be hung in position before the remaining bolts are 
installed, thus easing installation. The bolts used for installation are SAE 1/4-20.
