Gateway
The gateway is located in a rugged protective housing suitable
for wall or ceiling mounting. It can also be used outdoors thanks
to its protection type and UV resistance.
Positioning of gateway
If possible the gateway should be positioned in a central location
in the area of the installed sensors. Ideally there should be a line
of sight to five or six sensors. These can then be used as repeaters
for the remaining sensors. For optimum coverage it can be helpful
to install the gateway above the sensor level.
When choosing the mounting location, it should be noted that
reinforced concrete or larger metallic objects can block signal trans-
mission in this area. This also means that a gateway may on no
account be installed in a metal switch cabinet.
If a mobile phone connection is used for data transfer we recom-
mend checking the LTE reception at the installation location
beforehand with a mobile phone.
