LightGrid Gateway

Mounting the Gateway
• Carefully unpack unit. Inspect for defects before installing.
• Check Electrical parameters. Ensure that the voltage at the pole is 120-277V.
• Verify that power feed is on 24/7 constant power. The LightGrid mesh will not operate properly when operating
on switched power from a master timer or photocell.
• Plan Route to install Gateways at the locations recommended by Current Team. Gateways must be located
at strategic spots in the deployment to carefully balance the way the mesh forms. Based on the pole locations of
all the desired Controllers that will be installed, the Current team will perform an RF simulation and recommend
where the Gateways should be installed. Failure to follow the recommended installation locations may cause areas
of the deployment to have no mesh network communications, or to overload the mesh causing poor connectivity
and performance.
• If the Gateway will be using a wired connection (ber / Ethernet), consultation and network architecture
design must be completed and approved by the Current IT Team prior to installation of any Gateways. (Note:
Current strongly recommends using Current provided cellular backhaul instead of wired connections).
Unpack:
Loosen the steel straps, and
adjust to the pole-mounting
conguration shown below.
Best performance will be achieved when the Gateway
antenna is as high above ground level as possible. Do not
install the unit inside of any other enclosure. Gateways
can be mounted on a light pole up to 16” in diameter,
or on a pole-like structure on a rooftop. For more details
about Rooftop Mounting, see Appendix A. The Gateway
is to be mounted with the pole mounting brackets
horizontal, and the latch facing upwards. The Antenna
must be mounted vertically.
Mount to Pole:
Using the provided steel
straps, mount the Gateway
assembly securely to the pole
structure. Tighten the straps to
ensure the unit will not slide or
vibrate loose.
Mount the RF Antenna:
The RF Antenna is a separate
part in the box. Insert it to
the Antenna Mounting Collar
attached to the Gateway pole
mounting assembly, and
tighten the mounting bolt to
45 lbs-in torque.
