Product Description

1.1 Overview
The Kona Micro Gateway is a LoRaWAN IoT gateway that supports the full range of LoRa WAN channels. The Gateway supports one external LoRa antenna, copper Ethernet backhaul, and optional 3G/4G wireless backhaul. All Gateway  models may be powered from an AC-DC power adapter or PoE and may optionally have an internal backup battery provisioned.
Table 1 presents the currently available Kona Micro Gateway models. Any model may have a backup battery provisioned.

Installation

2.1 Overview

• The Kona Micro Gateway is intended for indoor use only.
• The Kona Micro Gateway has no internal field serviceable parts other than the battery. Other than installing or replacing the battery, the Gateway module must only be opened by an approved TEKTELIC service center.
• All installation practices must be in accordance with the local and national electrical codes.
• Ensure that the Kona Micro Gateway is located to eliminate any physical hazard to people or property.
• The Kona Micro Gateway shall be powered from the supplied AC-DC power adaptor or PoE. Simultaneous powering from both the DC barrel connector and PoE input is not supported; no damage can occur but unexpected operation may result.
• Do not cover the Gateway or in any way obstruct airflow through the enclosure openings.
• The Kona Micro Gateway may as an option contain a built-in battery. The Gateway may continue to operate after the external DC power connection is removed. To completely power down the Gateway when battery backup is  present, both the external DC power source and the battery must be disconnected.
• If the battery needs replacement, use only a replacement battery provided by Tektelic Communications Inc. After battery installation, ensure that the battery cover is secured using the supplied battery cover securement screws.  Dispose of old batteries in accordance with regulatory requirements.

2.2 Unpacking and Inspection
The following should be considered during the unpacking of a new Kona Micro Gateway.

1. Inspect the shipping carton and report any significant damage to TEKTELIC.
2. Unpacking should be conducted in a clean and dry location when possible.
3. Do not discard the shipping box or foam inserts as they will be required if a unit is returned for repair or re-configuration.

2.3 Kona Micro Gateway Mounting
Kona Micro Gateway can be placed on a flat surface or can be mounted to a wall with M3 screws to the locations on the back of the module illustrated in Figure 3. While wall mounted, the Gateway module must be oriented with the TEKTELIC logo horizontal, parallel to the earth as shown in Figure 4.

Ensure that the wall on which the Gateway is being mounted is secure, flat and able to support a load of at least 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs).
The Kona Micro Gateway wall mounting procedure is as follows:

1. Install the M3 screws into the wall.
2. Install 2 site supplied M3 screws into the wall at 60 mm (2.4”) center spacing, leaving the screw heads protruding with a 3 mm gap from the wall surface.
3. Hang the Kona Micro Gateway by mounting the two to keyhole slots onto the screws.

2.4 DC Power Cable Installation
The Kona Micro Gateway may be powered from the supplied AC-DC power adaptor. The adaptor provides 12 VDC with positive inner tip as shown below in Figure 5. The connector tip is a standard DC Barrel connector-straight plug with 2.1 mm (inner), 5.5 mm (outer) diameters.

2.5 Battery Installation
Use only a battery provided by Tektelic Communications Inc. Dispose of old batteries in accordance with regulatory requirements. Remove the battery cover by removing the two Tor drive battery cover securement screws. Connect the 3-pin battery connector to the connector at the bottom of the battery compartment and then insert the battery into the battery compartment as illustrated in Figure 6. After the battery is connected and inserted, reinstall the battery cover  and secure it in place using the two battery cover securement screws.

2.6 RF Cable Installation
The Kona Micro Gateway installation requires connection to a LoRa RF antenna. The antenna attaches to the reverse SMA connector located on the side of the Gateway. Torque the connector to 5 in·lbs. The Kona Micro Gateway is not protected from lighting surge as it is intended for Indoor use. Do not connect directly to an outdoor antenna.
Note that the 3G/4G modem antenna is internal to the Kona Micro Gateway.
2.7 Copper Ethernet Cable Installation
The Kona Micro Gateway Ethernet port may be used on a temporary basis for commissioning and maintenance or may be permanently connected for backhaul and/or optional PoE.
The Ethernet cable must have minimum 24 AWG conductors and shall be rated for indoor application according to local and national electrical codes.
2.8 Proposition 65 Statement
