Warning: The 9150 must be installed by qualified Teklogix personnel.

2.1 Choosing The Right Location

Typically, Teklogix conducts a site survey in the plant and then recommends the
preferred locations for the 9150s. These locations provide good radio coverage,
minimize the distance to the host computer or network controller, and meet the
environmental requirements.

2.1.1 Environment

The 9150 should be located in a well-ventilated area and should be protected from
extreme temperature fluctuations (i.e. direct heater output, shipping doors or
direct sunlight). If a protective cover is required, it must have enough ventilation
to maintain the 9150's surface at or near room temperature. The 9150 should be
situated away from the path of vehicles and free from water or dust spray.
The 9150 should only be mounted in the upright position, as shown in Figure 2.1,
below. This orientation minimizes the risk of water entering the 9150, should the
unit accidentally be sprayed. The 9150 is attached to a vertical surface using four
fasteners on the rear plate (type of fasteners are dependent on mounting surface).
The top two holes in the rear plate are slots, allowing the unit to be hung in position
before the remaining bolts are installed, thus easing installation. The bolts used for
installation are SAE 1/4-20.
