Wireless considerations

2.1 Power up sequence
Verify the Wireless Gateway is installed and functioning properly
before any wireless field devices are powered. Install the Power
Module, SmartPower
Rosemount 702 Wireless Discrete Transmitter to power the device.
Power up wireless devices in order of proximity from the Gateway,
beginning with the closest device, then working outward from the
Gateway. This results in a simpler and faster network formation.
Enable Active Advertising on the Gateway to ensure new devices are
able to join the network faster.
2.2 Antenna position
Position the antenna vertically, either straight up or straight down,
and approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from any large structure, building, or
conductive surface to allow for clear communication to other devices.

2.3 Conduit entry
Upon installation, ensure each conduit entry is either sealed with
a conduit plug using approved thread sealant, or has an installed
conduit fitting or cable gland with appropriate threaded sealant.
