- The Gateway shall be placed so it is protected from direct weather.
POSITIONING OF THE GATEWAY
- In general, an installation in every direction is possible. However, in some cases, an orientation of the antenna towards the meter cluster might help to get even better measurement coverage.
- This is due to the placement of the antenna inside the gateway.
Getting started
- Hold a magnet close to the activation point marked by a notch on the side of the gateway and hold the magnet there.
- The red LED on the gateway will turn on for a few seconds.
- When the LED turns off, remove the magnet
- The LED will then blink every 10 seconds during the capture period while it collects the first round of data from the meters.
- When the LED has stopped flashing, the Meter Data Concentrator is commissioned and in standard reception mode.
