Tips for Siting the Gateway and Nodes
Siting the Gateway
• The Gateway should be mounted where it has the strongest cellular connection
and a clear, open “view” of the sky with good sunlight for the solar panel.
• You may add a cabled or wireless Vantage Pro2 sensor suite, such as
GroWeather to your Gateway. If you use a cabled sensor suite, you will need
to choose a location that is within reach of the sensor suite’s included 100’/30
m (extendable up to 1,000’/300m) cable. See page 11:
Add a Vantage Pro2
Sensor Suite (optional)
.
Note: The radio in the Gateway is not compatible with the radio in wireless Vantage Pro2
stations.
