Installation Procedure

The Network Gateway 3 creates a network bridge between the Ethernet components in the lighting network infrastructure
and the wireless light fixtures. Each gateway manages communication for up to 50 fixtures within RF range. The Gateway
is a PoE (Power over Ethernet) device that eliminates the need for power service installation. An optional external
low-temperature AC-DC power supply is available, if PoE functionality is not desired.

Installation Guidelines

• For guidance regarding the preferred locations for Gateways within the facility, consult with Digital Lumens
prior to installation.
• As a general strategy, install Gateways toward the center of each room or designated wireless zone.
• Position Gateways at the approximate height of the fixtures, with a minimally obstructed line-of-sight to
those fixtures.
• Install Gateways in low-collision-risk areas, where forklifts and other machinery will not come in contact
with the Gateway housings.
• Install Gateways in areas free from condensation.

Step 1: Install the Gateway Housing

1. Option A:
Using two toggle bolts, truss clamps, or other hardware
(not included), mount the Gateway housing on a truss or suitable
ceiling structure (see Figure A). The mounting holes have a .25 in
(6.4 mm) diameter and are spaced 6.0 in (15.2 cm) apart.
For better wireless connectivity, mount the Gateway housing
Hint:
on the lower portion of the truss or ceiling structure.
Option B:
Using two screws or other hardware (not included),
mount the Gateway housing on a suitable surface (see Figure B).
The mounting holes have a .25 in (6.4 mm) diameter and are
spaced 6.0 in (15.2 cm) apart.
2. Record the serial number and location of the Gateway in a lighting
diagram depicting the facility or serial number sticker book. If you
have a barcode scanner, you can scan the barcode label on the
device label to rapidly record the serial number.
