Installation Procedures
This chapter describes general guidelines and specific procedures for configuring
and installing the Industrial Gateway.
and installing the Industrial Gateway.
General Installation Guidelines
• Be consistent. All installations should match in appearance where possible
(including centering, location, method for securing extra wire, etc.)
• Be neat. Ensure installation is straight and vertical or horizontal as much as
possible.
• Install Industrial Gateway on flat smooth surfaces such as the tops of server
cabinets.
• Use adhesive cable clips to keep cable and Power wires neat and contained.
• Each installation location should have the desired Ethernet port within 100m of
• Each installation location should have the desired Ethernet port within 100m of
the Industrial Gateway.
• Industrial Gateway installations should not be in areas where concrete walls,
support pillars, large cable bundles, air ducting, or other metal enclosures that
can block the wireless signal transmission to the sensors. If a wireless line of
sight obstruction is immovable, the external dipole Antenna of the Industrial
Gateway can be extended by up to 50 ft. by using coaxial extension cable rated
for 2.5GHz frequencies or higher. The recommended antenna extension cable
for the Industrial Gateway is rigid CNT-240 or equivalent which has less RF
loss at 2.4GHz than standard flexible coaxial cables. The extension cable must
be environmentally rated for the specific installation area.
