Installation Precautions

  • Make the side with the antenna face the sky to have better signal reception.
  • Do not install the device under a metal surface or in enclosed environments if you have difficulty in getting GPS and network signals.
  • Install the device in places away from rainwater or water may be ponded, otherwise, water may seep into the connector to damage the device.
  • Installation Direction: Keep the connector downside if the device is installed vertically, otherwise water (dust) will be held up in the connector to damage the device.
  • Please pay attention to environmental parameters:
    • Charge Temperature: 10~45℃
    • Working   Temperature: -10℃~+55℃

Troubleshooting and Safety Info

Troubleshooting

Table 7. NABE5-BL2 Troubleshooting List

Problem Possible Reason Solution
Messages can’t be reported to the backend server by the network. APN is not
right. Ask the network operator for the

right APN.

The IP address or port of the backend server is wrong.| Make sure the IP address for the backend server is identified in the internet.
There is no response from UART when the device is configured by using UART.| The port is not ready or the device is not powered on.| Please check the port and the device to ensure they are working properly.
The device can’t get a GPS fix.| The GPS signal is weak.| Move the device to a place under

open sky.

It is better to make the side with

antenna face the sky.
