STEP 4: MOUNT AND CONNECT THE 1420

Integral Antenna with the 1420 on a Mast

The optimal installation of the 1420 Wireless Gateway is on a pole approximately 1.8 meters above the top of the exterior wall of a building. The following hardware and tools are needed:

•Pipe mount with holes spaced 3.06 inches (78 mm) apart horizontally and 11.15 inches (283 mm) apart vertically.

•Two 3.06 inch (78 mm) by 5/16 inch U-bolts

•1/2 inch wrench

Mount the gateway by doing the following:

1.Insert one U-bolt around the pipe and through the top mounting holes of the pipe mount and the 1420, and another U-bolt through the bottom mounting holes of the pipe mount and the 1420.

2.Using a 1/2 inch socket-head wrench, fasten the nuts to the U-bolts and tighten.

BEST PRACTICE

When mounting outside, best practice is to run the Serial or primary Ethernet cable (P1) directly to the Information System. Use conduit and/or strain relief as necessary.

BEST PRACTICE

When installing cable/conduit, run an ethernet connection from 1420 port P2 to a convenient location indoors (if the 1420 was ordered with Output Code 2). This will simplify future configuration changes.
