IMPORTANT: The 9160 must be installed by qualified Psion Teklogix personnel.
Choosing The Right Location
Typically, Psion Teklogix conducts a site survey in the plant and then recommends the preferred locations
for the 9160s. These locations provide good radio coverage, minimize the distance to the host computer or
network controller, and meet the environmental requirements.
for the 9160s. These locations provide good radio coverage, minimize the distance to the host computer or
network controller, and meet the environmental requirements.
Environment
The 9160 Wireless Gateway 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’s surface at or near
room temperature.

The 9160 should be situated away from the path of vehicles and free from water or dust spray. The 9160
should only be mounted in the upright position, as shown in Figure 1 below. This orientation minimizes
the risk of water entering the 9160, should the unit accidentally be sprayed.

The 9160 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. The bolts used for installation are SAE 1/4-20.
