e. Chooseotherloggersettingskeepinginmindthe
following:
 Aloggingintervalof5minutesorslowerisoptimalfor
thegateway,althoughitcansupportalogginginterval
downto1minute(seeViewingDataUploadedfrom
theGatewayfordetails).
 Ifyouselectaloggingintervalfasterthan1minute,the
dataloggedatthefasterratewillnotbe
availablefor
thegatewaytoupload.Usetheapptoreadoutthe
loggerandretrievethisdata.
 Burstloggingandstatisticsarenotsupportedbythe
gateway.Usetheapptoreadouttheloggerand
retrievethisdata.
 ForMX1104,MX1105,MX2200,MX2300,andMX2501
loggers,Bluetoothisautomaticallyenabledtoensure
regulargatewayuploadscanoccur.
 ThegatewayusesBluetoothLowEnergyto
communicateovertheairwithloggerswithinrange.If
MX2200orMX2501loggersorthetopendofan
MX2001loggerisdeployedinwater,thegatewaywill
notbeableto
communicatewiththem.

Thegatewaywillregularlycheckloggerswithinrangeand

Gatewayfordetailsonworkingwithdata.
DeploymentandMountingGuidelines
Followtheseguidelineswhenselectingalocationtoplacethe
gateway:
 The gatewayrequiresACpowerandaninternet
connection.Selectalocationforthegatewaythatisnear
anACoutletandanEthernetport(ifusingEthernet)or
withinrangeofyourWiFirouter(ifusingWiFi).

Therangeforsuccessfulwirelesscommunicationbetween
thegatewayandloggersisapproximately30.5m(100ft)
withfullline‐of‐sight.Ifthereareobstaclesbetweenthe
gatewayandtheloggers,suchaswallsormetalobjects,
theconnectionmaybeintermittentandtherange
betweenloggersandthegatewaywillbedecreased.Test
therangebypositioningyourphoneortabletwhereyou
wanttodeploythegateway.Ifthephoneortabletcan
connecttoaloggerwiththeappfromthatlocation,then
thegatewayshouldbeabletoconnecttotheloggeras
well.
 If
youaremountingthegatewayonawallorotherflat
surface,mountthefaceofthegatewaytowardsthe
coverageareawiththelogoorientedhorizontallyas
shownbelowforoptimalsignalstrength.Alsomountaway
fromthecornerswherewallsmeetandabovethetallest
obstructionsintheroom.

 Ifyou aremountingthegatewayonaceiling,placeiton
thelowestavailablemountingpointfacingdownwardsfor
optimalsignalstrength.AlsomountawayfromHVACducts
andbelowI‐beamsorsupportbeams.
 Usetheenclosedmountingkittomountthegatewaytoa
flatsurface.Usetheself‐tappingscrewsandanchorsto
affixthegatewaymountingplatetoawallorceiling.

Ifyouaremountingthegatewayonawoodensurface,use
boththegatewaymountingplateandthemounting
bracketshownbelow.Placethegatewaymountingplate
overthemounting
bracketsotheholesarealigned.Use 
themachinescrewstoaffixitthesurface(youmayneed
todrillpilotholesinthe surfacefirst).

Oncethegatewaymountingplateisinplaceonthewallor
otherflatsurface,usethefourholesonthebackofthe
gatewaytoattachittothefourclipsonthemounting
plate.
