Installation

5.1. Installation safety notice

• It is forbidden to operate with electricity when installing, wiring, and dismantling the equipment.
• Place the equipment in a ventilated place to ensure that the equipment is installed in a dry environment.
• Avoid placing the equipment in a high-temperature or low-temperature environment.
• The installation location of the equipment should be far away from high-voltage cables to avoid electromagnetic interference during operation.
• The equipment should be far away from the environment of strong thunderstorms and strong electric fields.
• Please fix the equipment firmly.

5.2. Installation environment check

• The RF antenna is installed vertically, and there should be no large metal shields such as metal pillars, large metal boxes, etc. within 1 meter around (the upper and lower metal will not affect it).
• The installation location needs to consider the power supply of the equipment. This equipment uses AC100 ~ 240V, a 2-hole power adapter, and the power cord is 3 meters in length.

5.3. Installation tool
Before installing the equipment, prepare the following installation tools and auxiliary materials:

5.4. Installation steps

1. Confirm the installation hole spacing: the four-corner hole can be used for fixed installation.
2. Use the supporting expansion screws to fix the equipment on the wall of the building.
   
3. Connect the RF antenna and the 4G antenna. The GPS antenna may not be connected when it is installed in a fixed place in the indoor environment.
4. Arrange the cables and confirm that they comply with the corresponding cable laying specifications.

System Testing

• Three minutes after the gateway is powered on, the online information of the gateway can be seen on the IoT platform;
• After the gateway is online, it can be connected to the lower-level network element equipment, and the data of the lower-level network element equipment is uploaded to the platform for display through the gateway route;

Common faults and handling

• Check the power supply to ensure that the gateway is powered normally.
• Check the antenna, whether the antennas are connected correctly, and whether they are properly tightened.
• Check the network cable and check if the network cable is properly connected.
• Check the status light to check whether the two status lights on the gateway core board are normal (one is always on, and one flashes twice in one second)
• View the platform device status. In the (Management Platform-Gateway Management) list, check whether the current device status is “Online”.
• Check whether the heartbeat packet of the gateway (once per minute) is normal.
• If it still does not work, you can power it on again, start the gateway device, and check to see if it is restored.
• Contact ZiFiSense for more solutions.
