The detailed installation procedure is described in the “Installation and maintenance manual” available from the resources page. This procedure must be read, the integrity of the gateway, its warranty and its efficiency depend on it.

Here are the key factors of a good installation (it does not prevent you from reading the “Installation and maintenance manual”), plus a few additional recommendations:

• In harsh environment, especially if antenna link (LoRa) is placed in outdoor conditions, RF coaxial surge protection must be used.
• In harsh environment, especially if Ethernet link is placed in outdoor conditions, an indoor Ethernet surge protection must be used.
• A good earthing of the whole installation is required.
• Used ground connection cables must be as short as possible (<30cm, 4sq.mm).
• It is recommended to regroup all ground connections at one point (at least mounting bracket + surge protections). This point must be as close as possible to the product.
• Recommended shielding Ethernet cable is category 6A, STP or SSTP.
• Before any product installation, a full spectrum analysis should be done on the field with a spectrum analyzer. A backup of each measurement is strongly recommended in case further analysis is required.
• Photos of the full installation are also recommended to memorize antennas co-locations and check if the installation is properly done.
