Rakbox-b2 Enclosure Installation Guide

RAKBox-B2 Enclosure

Product Information

The product is a WisBlock module assembly that consists of
various components for creating an IoT device. It includes a plate,
WisBlock IO module, WisBlock module, enclosure, antennas, battery
plate, battery, and cover. The assembly can be mounted on a wall or
a pole using the provided installation kit.

Product Usage Instructions

Assembly

1. Install the plate with two M4*5 screws. Refer to Figure 2 for
   guidance.

   

2. Fix the WisBlock IO module with three M1.2*3 screws. For
   detailed assembly method and precautions, please refer to the
   RAK5005-O Baseboard Installation Guide. Figure 3 illustrates the
   fixation of RAK1920.

   

3. Fix the WisBlock module on the plate with M2.5*4 screws. The
   number of screws depends on the WisBlock IO module type, so please
   confirm according to the actual module.

   

4. If an external connection is required, such as an external
   sensor, remove the plug on the longer side of the enclosure and
   replace it with the gland. Pull the cable to the external device
   through the gland and ensure that the lid of the gland is closed
   properly to prevent water and humidity damage to the WisBlock.

   

5. Stick the antennas of the WisBlock Core module on the inner
   wall of the enclosure. Note that Figure 6 is for illustration
   purposes only.

   

6. Install two M2.5*15+6 hexagon standoffs for the battery
   plate.

   

7. Plug the battery cable into the socket on the PCB. If a solar
   panel enclosure is used, connect the cable of the solar panel to
   the PCB. Then, fix the battery plate on the standoff with two
   M2.5*4 screws. Make sure to connect the battery and solar cable
   first before installing the battery plate.

   

8. Stick the battery on the battery plate using double-sided
   adhesive stickers.

   

9. Close the cover, tighten the screws, and complete the
   assembly.

   

Installation

Wall Mounting

1. Fix the installation kit on the bottom of the enclosure with
   four M5*10 screws. Ensure that the Z-shaped mounting bars are
   extruding from the enclosure as shown in Figure 11.

   

2. Drill four holes in the wall according to Figure 12.

   

3. Fix the enclosure to the wall using the four screws.

   

Pole Mounting

1. Fix the installation kit on the bottom of the enclosure with
   four M5*10 screws. Ensure that the Z-shaped mounting bars are not
   extruding from the enclosure as shown in Figure 14.

   

2. Slide the steel band clamp through the rectangular hole of the
   mounting bar. Wrap the band clamps around the pole, lock them, and
   then tighten the clamps using a screwdriver. Refer to Figure 15 for
   guidance.

Step 4: If an external connection is required, for example an external sensor, remove the plug on the longer side of the enclosure and replace it with the gland. Pull the cable to the external device through the gland and make sure the lid of the gland is closed properly. If the gland is not closed properly, there is a chance for water and humidity to enter into the enclosure and damage the WisBlock.
