Antenna selection
Antennas play critical roles in the setup and operation of wireless mesh systems.
Depending upon results of the site survey and the requirements of the installed
environment, proper antenna type should be determined, (omni-directional vs.
directional, low-gain vs. high gain, etc.).
Assemble and install mounting hardware
The multinode can be wall mounted or pole mounted using the hardware mounting kit
supplied with the unit. When pole mounting the multinode you can assemble and install
the mounting hardware at the site. The mounting kit includes the following items:
•
Mounting bracket
•
U-bolts with nuts
•
Screws (to attach the multinode to the mounting bracket)
Construct conduit and cable runs for multinode power and Ethernet
Power cabling from the plant must be run through conduit to a junction box installed at
the multinode installation site.
If the multinode will be connected to a wired Ethernet you must run Ethernet cabling
from the control system through the conduit to the multinode site.
Outdoor Protection Kit
An outdoor protection kit must be used to prevent lightning damage when the multinode
is mounted outdoors. The outdoor protection kit contains the following items:
•
Three lengths (10, 12 and 18-inches) of 10AWG wire with #8 ring terminal on one
end and a #10 ring terminal on the other end.
•
Two lightning arrestors, with Type N Male-to-Female, or two Reverse Polarity Type
N (RPN) Male-to-Female connectors for the mesh and AP radio antennas.
•
One Lightning arrestor, Type N Male-to-Female connectors for Field I/O radio
antenna.
Lightning arrestor installation, (when required)
NOTE: A lightning arrestor must be installed between the antenna and the multinode
antenna connector when the unit is installed outdoors. Use the following procedure to
install lightning arrestors on the multinode.
