Kona Mega Gateway User Guide TEKTELIC Communications Inc.

T0004279_UG Confidential

Version 2.18 Page 20 of 29

· For the direct DC power feed option, the DC positive pin must be at positive potential relative to the DC negative pin. If the polarity is reversed, the unit will not sustain damage but will not operate until the connection polarity is corrected.
· Although the Kona Mega Gateway can be powered through either a direct DC input or through power over Ethernet (PoE), simultaneous application of power to both inputs may result in unexpected operation and shall be avoided.
· The Kona Mega Gateway power source must meet SELV requirements.
2.2 Unpacking and Inspection
The following should be considered during the unpacking of a new Kona Mega 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 Required Equipment for Installation
The following tools are required to install the Kona Mega Gateway module: 1. A 6 point metric socket set and torque wrench drive. 2. Anti-oxidant compound (NO-OX-ID, Penetrox, Noalox, Ox-Gard or equivalent). 3. A small wire brush. 4. A clean cloth. 5. Weatherproofing tape kit for the RF connectors (Scotch Wireless Weatherproofing Kit, WK-101 recommended). 6. Appropriately sized pipe clamps for pole mounting or appropriate screws or bolts (four sized M8) with any required anchors according to the wall construction for wall mounting.

Kona Mega Gateway User Guide TEKTELIC Communications Inc.

T0004279_UG Confidential

Version 2.18 Page 22 of 29

1. Bolt the wall mounting bracket to the Gateway module using the supplied bolts and washers.
2. While temporarily supporting the Gateway with bracket, install the two site supplied pipe clamps, one through each of the upper and lower slotted clamp mounting points.
2.5 Ground Cable Installation
The Kona Mega Gateway is considered Permanently Connected Equipment and requires a permanently connected Protective Earth Ground (PEG) conductor. The Protective Earth Ground connection is made through a 1/4 x 0.75″ on center double hole lug to the ground termination point illustrated in Figure 13. The ground cable gauge shall be #10 AWG minimum.
The Kona Mega Gateway grounding system shall follow local and national electrical codes. The Protective Earth Ground conductor terminated at the double hole lug point is mandatory and must be the first connection made to the Kona Mega Gateway during installation. Proper routing and termination of this cable is key to robust lightning withstand performance; in high susceptibility installations, every effort shall be made to minimize connection inductance and ground bed resistance.
The ground cable installation steps are as follows:
1. Lightly abrade the surface of the casting ground area with a fine wire brush to remove the oxide layer.
2. Use a clean cloth to remove any debris from this surface. 3. Immediately coat the contact surface with a thin layer of anti-oxidant compound. 4. Install the ground cable through its 2-hole lug onto the chassis ground point using the two
supplied 1/4 – 20 x 1/2″ bolts with flat and star lock washers, torqued to 10.4 Nm (92 in·lbs).
