Hardware Installation
SIM Card Installation
A. Insert the SIM card into the device according to the direction icon on
the device. If you need to take out the SIM card, press into the SIM card and
it will pop up automatically.
B. Tighten the SIM dust cover with a wrench to prevent water into the
device.
Note: UG67 does not support hot-plugging (also called hot swapping). please
turn off the power before you insert or take off cards.
Antenna Installation
UG67 supports multiple LoRa antenna types. After installation, please select
the corresponding installation type in web GUI. It’s suggested to select
double antenna mode for better Helium network coverage.
Internal Antenna Mode: keep hotspot positive outwards to ensure a good
signal.
Signal Antenna Mode: the external antenna must be installed on the ANT1
connector.
Double Antenna Mode: it’s suggested to add a coaxial cable between one of
antenna connectors (ANT1 is recommended) and LoRa antenna to ensure better
performance. After installation, the LoRa antenna can be fixed to a pole via
antenna clamp kit. Pass this LoRa antenna through the antenna clamp and fix it
with 4 screws, then wrap the U-bolt around a pole and fix the clamp with nuts
and other accessories.
Ethernet Cable & Power Cable Installation
Pass the Ethernet cable through the cable gland and rotate the cable gland to
the hotspot, then tighten the cable gland with a wrench.
For DC or solar power supply, remove the protective cap of the power connector
and rotate the DC power cable into the power connector.
Power Supply
UG67 can be powered by 802.3af standard PoE or 12VDC. If there is not PoE switch, please use a PoE injector to power on the UG67 as below:
Hotspot Installation
UG67 can be mounted to a wall or a pole. Before you start, make sure that your
SIM card has been inserted, your antennas have been attached and all cables
have been installed.
Note: Do not connect the device to the power supply or other devices when
installing.
Wall Mounting
Preparation: mounting bracket (with a screw), wall plugs, wall mounting
screws and other required tools.
A. Align the mounting bracket horizontally to the desired position on the
wall, use a marker pen to mark four mounting holes on the wall, and then
remove the mounting bracket from the wall.
Note: The connecting lines of adjacent points are at right angles.
B. Drill four holes with a depth of 32 mm by using your drill with a 6 mm
drill bit on the positions you marked previously on the wall.
C. Insert four wall plugs into the holes respectively.
D. Mount the mounting bracket horizontally to the wall by fixing the wall
mounting screws into the wall plugs.
E. Hang the device to the mounting bracket via bracket mounting screws on
the back of the device, then screw the bracket screw to the bottom of the
device.
Pole Mounting
Preparation: mounting bracket (with a screw), hose clamp and other
required tools.
A. Loosen the hose clamp by turning the locking mechanism counter-
clockwise.
B. Straighten out the hose clamp and slide it through the rectangular
rings in the mounting bracket, wrap the hose clamp around the pole.
C. Use a screwdriver to tighten the locking mechanism by turning it
clockwise.
D. Hang the device to the mounting bracket via bracket mounting screws on
the back of the device, then screw the bracket screw to the bottom of the
device.
