Mounting location for gateway
The gateway should be installed at a central location in the overall
system,
Figure 15
. Please take note of the following for the mounting
location:
■
The gateway should be placed in a central position in the area
of the installed sensors. There should be a line of sight to up to
five or six sensors. In most cases these sensors then serve as
repeaters for the remaining sensors.
■
The best coverage in the mesh network can be achieved if
the gateway is mounted above several sensors distributed across
an area.
■
Avoid installing the gateway at the end of a row of several sensors
one behind the other to prevent the last sensor in the row from
having a reduced battery life.
■
Reinforced concrete or larger metallic objects can strongly
impede signal transmission in this area. On no account may
the gateway be installed in a metal switch cabinet. Choose
a mounting location that will allow stable data transmission.
■
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.
