Installation Guide
Welcome to using Thingsee
Congratulations on choosing Haltian Thingsee as your IoT solution.
We at Haltian want to make IoT easy and accessible for everyone, so we have
created a solution platform that is easy to use, scalable and secure. I hope
our solution will help you achieve your business goals!
Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL
Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL is a plug & play IoT gateway device for large scale
IoT solutions. It can be connected anywhere in the world with its LTE Cat M1
/NB-IoT and 2G cellular support. The main role of Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL is
to ensure that data flows continuously, reliably and safely from the sensors
to the cloud.
Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL connects a mesh of a few to hundreds of wireless
sensor devices to Thingsee Operations Cloud. It exchanges data with the mesh
network and sends data to cloud backends.

- Includes SIM card and managed SIM subscription
- Power supply unit (micro-USB)
Note before installation
Install the gateway to a secure location. In public places, install the
gateway behind locked doors.
To ensure strong enough signal strength for data delivery, keep the maximum
distance between mesh network devices under 20 m. 
If the distance between a measuring sensor and the gateway is > 20m or if the sensors are separated by a fire door or other thick building materials, use extra sensors as routers.
Thingsee installation network structure
Thingsee devices build a network automatically. Devices communicate all the
time to adjust the network structure for effective data delivery.
Sensors create subnetworks for data delivery by choosing the best possible
route based on signal strength. The subnetwork chooses the strongest possible
gateway connection for data delivery to the cloud.
The customer network is closed and secure. It cannot be harmed by third party
connections.
———–Network communication
———–Data flow
The amount sensors per one gateway varies depending on the sensors’ reporting
time: the longer the reporting time, the more sensor can be connected to one
gateway. The usual amount is from 50-100 sensors per gateway to even up to
200 sensors.
To ensure mesh network data flow, a second gateway can be installed on the
other side of the installation site.
Things to avoid in installation
Avoid installing the Thingsee products near the following:
Escalators
Electrical transformers or thick electrical wires
Nearby halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps or similar lamps with hot surface
Thick concrete structures or thick fire doors
Nearby radio equipment like WiFi routers or any other similar high power RF transmitters
Inside metal box or covered with a metal plate
Inside or underneath a metal cabinet or box
Near elevator motors or similar targets causing a strong magnetic field
Data integration
Make sure that data integration has been properly setup prior to the installation process. See link https://support.haltian.com/howto/aws/ Thingsee data can be pulled (subscribed) from the Thingsee Cloud live data stream, or the data can be pushed to your defined end point (e.g. Azure IoT Hub before you install the sensors.)
Installation
Please make sure the Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL is installed before you install
the sensors.
To identify the gateway, read the QR code on the backside of the device with a
QR code reader or Thingsee installation application on your mobile device.
Identifying the device is not necessary, but it will help you keep track of
your IoT installation and help Haltian support to solve possible issues.
To identify the device over Thingsee API, please follow the link for further information: https://support.haltian.com/api/open-services-api/api- sequences/
Connect the power source to the gateway and plug it into a wall socket with
24/7 power.
Note: always use the power source included in the sales package.
Note: The socket-outlet for the power source shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL is always cellular connected:
LED indication is used to provide gateway status information.
The LED on top of the device starts to blink: 
-
RED blink – device is connecting to mobile network
-
RED/GREEN blink – device is connecting to Thingsee cloud
-
GREEN blink – device is connected to the mobile network and Thingsee cloud and is operating correctly
To close the device press the Power button for 3 seconds.
When released, the device starts the shutdown process, red LED indication 5
times during a 2 second period. When in shutdown state, no LED indication. To
restart the device press the power button once and the LED sequence starts
again.

RECYCLING
Check the local regulations for proper disposal of electronic products. The
Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered
into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change
in the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life. The purpose of this
Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in addition,
to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so
as to reduce disposal. The crossed-out wheelie-bin symbol on your product,
battery, literature, or packaging reminds you that all electrical and
electronic products and batteries must be taken to separate collection at the
end of their working life. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted
municipal waste: take them for recycling. For info on your nearest recycling
point, check with your local waste authority.
