1 Wireless considerations
1.1 Power up sequence
The Emerson Wireless Gateway (Gateway) should be installed and
functioning properly before power modules are installed in any wireless field
devices. Wireless field devices should also be powered up in order of
proximity from the Gateway beginning with the closest. This will result in a
simpler and faster network installation.
1.2 Antenna position
The antenna should be positioned vertically, and be approximately 3 ft. (1
m) from large structures or buildings to allow for clear communication to
other devices.
1.3 Mounting height
For optimal wireless coverage, the Gateway or remote antenna is ideally
mounted 15 to 25 ft. (4,6 to 7,6 m) above ground or 6 ft. (2 m) above
obstructions or major infrastructure.
1.4 Gateway redundancy
If the wireless Gateway was ordered with redundancy (Gateway Redundancy
code RD), refer to Appendix D in the Emerson Wireless Gateway Reference
Manual for additional installation instructions.
