Installation and operating instructions

IoT gateway outdoor

1. General information

1.1. Intended use

Operational safety is only guaranteed if the product is

used as intended by the manufacturer. No liability is

assumed for damage caused by other applications. Any

modifications are only permitted with approval from the

manufacturer. Otherwise the manufacturer’s declaration

is invalidated.

1.2. Safety instructions

If it is necessary to establish a new power connec-

tion, the installation and commissioning must only be

performed by trained qualified specialists. Only trained

qualified electricians may work on electrical systems.

They must be able to assess the work assigned to them

at all times, detect any potential sources of danger and

adopt appropriate safety measures. The installation

work must only be performed in a de-energised state.

Valid specifications and standards are to be observed.

During assembly of the gateway, the applicable national

standards are to be observed on setting up antennae

systems.

2.2. Scope of delivery

The gateway is delivered in a partially assembled state.

Depending on the assembly situation to be imple-

mented, various preparations and assembly steps are

necessary. Furthermore, it may be necessary to acquire

additional assembly materials that are not included in

the scope of delivery.

2.1. Intended use

The ZENNER IoT Gateways use high-performance

LoRaWAN® technology, whose excellent building

penetration and long-range network coverage generally

ensure the connectivity of IoT sensors even under chal-

lenging environmental and installation conditions.

The Outdoor Gateway is ideally suited for LoRa network

coverage in rural and urban areas to receive values from

multiple sensors. The device can be used across various

sectors for a variety of IoT applications and is an integral

part of ZENNER IoT system solutions. With a few gate-

ways, entire cities can already be covered.

Due to the very robust housing made of coated alumi-

num, the Outdoor Gateway is very resilient to extreme

weather conditions and is characterized by a high

degree of reliability. In addition to the two external LoRa

antennas, the ZENNER IoT Gateway Outdoor also uses

an external LTE antenna to ensure the best possible con-

nection to the backend.

■

2.3. Installation location

In order to gain optimum LoRaWAN network coverage,

an installation location which is as high as possible is

recommended due to various technological advan-

tages. For example, if an attic is available with potential

installation space, this installation location should be

preferred.

After selecting the preferred installation location, you

should test the cellular network connection in this

location prior to attaching it.

3. Mounting preparation For power supply of the IoT Gateway Outdoor you need the PoE Injector incl. power cord. A 5m network cable incl. RJ45 connectors and PG gland is already connected to the gateway (see ill. 6). If the cable length is not sufficient or a network cable is already present, you can cut the mounted network cable, pull off the PG gland and use the supplied RJ45 connectors to crimp your network cable. In this case, special tools are needed.

You can additionally fasten the antenna cables to the mounting bracket with cable ties. The antennas are mounted identically for all variants using the supplied lock rings and serrated lock washers. All antennas are connected to the gateway with the enclosed N-connection cables. 5.3. Equipotential bonding cable The potential equalization cable (ground cable, 16 mm²) must be connected to the mounting support and a bonding rail.

8. Dismantling Disconnect the gateway's power supply and uncouple the network cable from the PoE Injector. 8.1. Pole mounting Loosen the nuts of the mounting bracket. When doing so, you should always hold the mounting bracket with the housing. After completely loosening the nuts, you can pull the gateway off the u shaped mounting bracket. 8.2. Wall mounting First remove the bottom two screws between the mounting bracket and the wall.
