Axiometric Gateway Guide MeshPlus™
The lithium battery does not supply any power to the Gateway in normal
operation and has a typical service life of 10 years. When all other Gateway
power sources are lost, the lithium battery can power the mesh controller and
data collection functions of the Gateway 2 for over 6 months during an extended
power outage ensuring that mesh operation and data collection continue without
data loss. The lithium battery does not power the network bridge function. The
lithium battery is a primary cell (it is not rechargeable) and should be replaced
after an extended power outage (> 6 months total power outages) or when its
typical service life has been reached (10 years).
2. If the Gateway 2 is equipped with the
optional NiCd battery pack, fasten the pack
to the inside of the front panel using the
included 3M industrial hook and loop
fasteners. Connect the battery pack to the
Gateway 2 main board header JP4 observing
the polarity of the header. The NiCd battery
pack powers all Gateway 2 functions
including the network bridge function for up
to 48 hours during typical power outages
allowing data collection and reporting
(including the reporting of the power outage
alarm) to continue during most power
outages.
The NiCd battery pack is rechargeable;
during normal operation the NiCd pack does
not supply power to the gateway; instead,
when external AC or DC power is present,
and a constant trickle charge is provided to charge the battery and maintain its
maximum level. The NiCd battery pack has a service life of between 5 and 10
years and should be replaced after 5 years of operation.
3. Make sure the battery cables are secure inside the enclosure and will not interfere
with the front panel mounting. Check the positioning of the rubber gasket then
replace the front panel ensuring the battery cables will not be damaged and
secure the panel using the four bolts. The bolts should be tightened carefully to
compress the gasket and ensure a water-tight seal.
4. Attach the supplied external antennas. Only the supplied antennas may be used
with this unit. Lightning arrestors are recommended for all antenna connections.
Note: To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the device and the
antenna for this device must be installed to ensure a minimum separation
distance of 20 cm or more from a person's body. Other operating
configurations should be avoided.
