Gateway - QSG

Mounting

The Gateway is supplied with mounting hardware for structure or pole mounting. The installation

tools required for the MeshPlus® Gateway installation are:

• 3mm allen key

• a 5/16-inch nut driver

• 10 mm nut driver (deep well suggested)

• open-ended wrench.

The two mounting brackets are fastened to the back of the gateway chassis with stainless-steel

bolts and may be used to mount the Gateway directly to a structure.

Two U-bolts and clamps are also supplied to allow the Gateway to be mounted to a pole up to 2”

in diameter.

A silicone rubber gasket seals the Gateway enclosure

against water intrusion when closed. Care should be

exercised to avoid damaging the gasket when the

chassis is open. Note the captive screws in the cover;

when opening the cover, the screws should be

loosened until they are no longer holding the front

cover to the chassis, but they should not be removed

from the front cover.

For maximum efficiency, the MeshPlus

Gateway should be mounted in an area where it is easily

accessible. For example, if the Gateway is pole mounted, the Gateway should be mounted low

enough on the pole to allow service without requiring a bucket truck or other lift.

The Gateway Mesh antenna should be located as high as possible with an unobstructed view of

as many mesh devices as possible. Increasing the antenna height increases its range. However,

the MeshPlus

Gateway will operate correctly as long as it is within wireless range of at least one

mesh device.
