  • Page 7: Install The Junction Box And Transceiver

    Install the Junction Box and Transceiver You can cable-tie the junction box and transceiver to a pipe or mount it to a flat surface with the included industrial strength Velcro. Depending on the requirements of the install location, the transceiver box can be installed in one of two ways: stacked atop of the junction box or mounted separately directly above the junction box.

The transceiver box cable can support its own weight hanging but could be damaged if the weight of the junction box were hanging on it. 2. Feed the cable ties through the mounting holes on top and bottom then fasten the ties securely around the pipe.

    Approved Antennas All Nexa sensors contain FCC ID: ZTL-G2SC1. The devices have been designed to operate with any one of the approved antennas (listed below), having a maximum gain of 14 dBi. Antennas having a gain greater than 14 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
  • Page 14 Canada (IC) English Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmittermay only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum(or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
