4 INSTALLING INFRASTRUCTURE
This section outlines installation guidelines for the various infrastructure components of Minetec
systems. At the end of each section, a basic power-on check is outlined to ensure the devices are
connected and working properly.
4.1 Wi-Fi WASP™ Access Point
Access Points, shown in Figure 1 below, act as data aggregation points that calculate and store
location information. Access Points also acts as a wireless gateway for the Minetec network. Multiple
Access Points can be power cable daisy-chained to form a segment up to 1km long. Each unit can be
up to 100m apart, therefore, a segment can have up to a total of 10 Access Points.
Figure 1 Access Point with standard bracket
The mounting options for Access Points are:
• Using a threaded rod to bolt to the backs or wall. See Figure 3 on page 10
.
• Bolt directly to the wall using a custom mount eg 'C'-channel bracket.
• Attach with 4x stainless steel cable ties (one per corner) to mesh (mesh mount). See Figure 2
on
page 10. Mesh mounting is only recommended for temporary installations.
Note that an Access Point with standard bracket weighs approximately 3kg.
A maximum of 10 Access Points can be daisy-chained to form a single segment.
