Do not place the device and mounting kit on pedestrian walkways to avoid accidental damage to the device or harm to bystanders.

Inserting the SIM Card and Batteries

1. Remove the back cover by unscrewing the four screws using a Philips screwdriver.

2. Put the SIM card in the groove and push it into the socket.

3. Insert the batteries by pressing the negative spring with the battery and fit the positive end in its place.? NOTE:
   The battery should be 18505 in size.

4. Put the back cover back and screw it in place.

? NOTE:
Make sure that the rubber seal is fitting nicely in its place to ensure waterproof sealing.
Make sure that you put enough force in the screwing to properly seal the back cover but not such as to break it.

Mounting of the Sensor Hub

Wall Mounting

1. Using a 5 mm drill head, drill holes on the wall and plug the screw anchors in the holes.
2. Using the tapping screws, attach the mounting bracket to the wall.

Pole Mounting

1. Fix the mounting bracket on the pole with one steel strip. ? NOTE:
   The diameter of the pole that is supported by the brackets is 50-80 mm. If the pole diameter is more than this value, larger steel strips can be used. The standard mounting kit does not include larger steel strips. If needed, you should purchase them separately.

2. Align the hanging tab of the device with the slot on the bracket, and put the tab into the slot. Then, pull the device down until it clicks in place.

3. Add the security screw on top so the device and bracket are locked together.

Mounting of the Sensor Probe

Wall mounting

1. Using a 5 mm drill head, drill holes on the wall and plug the screw anchors in the holes.
2. Use two tapping screws to attach the mounting bracket to the wall.
3. Clip the probe into the bracket.

Pole mounting
Fix the probe on the pole with a steel strip directly.

Connecting Probes to the Sensor Hub

Connecting the Sensor Probe
You have multiple options, depending on the deployment requirements and available space.

1. Connect the Sensor Probe to the Hub directly by plugging the cable into one of the free ports on the main body.
2. Connect the probe to the Hub via an extender cable for better placement of the Probe.
3. Connect the Probe to the Hub via a splitter cable for the option to connect multiple Probes to the same port of the Hub.
4. Connect the Probe to the Hub using a splitter and extender cable at once for maximum placement freedom.

Connecting the Probe IO

RAK2560 Sensor Hub can support third-party sensors through the Probe IO.

1. Remove the lid using a Philips screwdriver.
2. Pass the cable of the sensor through the cable gland and the opening of the Probe IO, connect the cable to the wiring terminal.
3. Screw the cable gland body and lock nut in the proper sequence.
4. Put the back cover back and screw it in place.
5. Connect the Probe IO to the Hub the same way you would connect a Sensor Probe.
