Powering Options

This chapter describes the powering supply option supported by UG67 gateways. Please select one of the following options to power the gateway.

Powered by Active PoE
The Ethernet port can receive power by connecting to an 802.3af standard PoE switch or PoE injector.
Tip: It is recommended to install the PoE surge protector or lightning arresters when using outdoors.


Powered by DC Power Connector
The gateway can be powered by a DC power connector (6-12V DC).

Prerequisites: Wrench, Ethernet Cable Gland (With Plug Installed)

Steps:
  1. Tighten the screw nut of the cable gland.
  2. Secure the cable gland to the gateway and tighten it with a wrench (tightening torque: 1.1 N.m).

Power Cable Installation

This section describes how to install the power cable to the gateway. If not needed, please skip this section.

Prerequisites: M12 DC Power Cable

Steps:
  1. Remove the protective cap of power connector.
  2. Rotate the power cable into the power connector and tighten it by hand.

  3. Connect the other side of power cable to the DC power source or solar panel as required.

Gateway Installation

This section describes how to install the gateway. The gateway supports wall mounting or pole mounting.
Installation Location
  • The antennas must extend beyond the wall or pillar surface and not be close to the poles or walls. If there are still walls nearby, please keep the antennas at least 35cm away from them.
  • Ensure there are no obstacles or metal objects around.
  • For better coverage, it is recommended to position the gateway at a higher location, but not the highest position.
Wall Mounting
Requirements:
  • The wall structure shall be sufficiently solid and stable to ensure firm screw fixation and overall mounting stability.
  • Screw mounting positions must avoid internal wall electrical wiring, water pipes and other concealed utilities to prevent structural damage and potential safety hazards.

Prerequisites: Screwdriver, Mounting Bracket, all Mount Kit, Pencil, Electrical Drill

Steps:

  1. Align the mounting bracket horizontally to the target surface, use a pencil to mark four mounting holes.
    Note: The connecting lines of adjacent points are at right angles.
  2. Drill four holes in the wall according to the mounting holes.
  3. Insert the wall plugs into the holes.
  4. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall plugs using the wall mounting screws.

  5. Hang the gateway to the mounting bracket and secure it to the bracket by tightening the bottom fixing screw by hand.

Pole Mounting

Prerequisites: Screwdriver, Mounting Bracket, Short Mounting Backboard Kit

Steps:

  1. Secure the mounting bracket to short mounting backboard with four screws.

  2. Install one antenna on the short mounting backboard as follows.

    1. Attach the U-strap clamp with one antenna to the short mounting backboard.
    2. Insert the two screws through the other side of the backboard to secure the U-strap clamp with the antenna to the backboard.
    3. Screw flat washers, spring washers, and nuts onto the U-strap clamp.
  3. Straighten out the hose clamps and slid them through the rectangular rings in the mounting bracket and short mounting backboard, then wrap them around the pole.

  4. Hang the gateway to the mounting bracket and secure it to the bracket by tightening the bottom fixing screw by hand.

  5. Secure one antenna to ANT2 connector of the gateway directly, then connect the remaining antenna on the short mounting backboard to the gateway with the coaxial cable.

Antenna Installation

This section describes how to install the antennas to the device.

Install Antenna to Short Mounting Backboard

When the gateway is installed to a pole using short mounting backboard, refer to Pole Mounting steps.

Install Antenna using U-Bolt Clamp

Prerequisites: LoRaWAN ® Antennas, U-Bolt Clamp Kit, Antenna Coaxial Cable

Steps:
  1. Secure one antenna to ANT2 connector of the gateway directly.
  2. Secure the other antenna to a pole using the U-Bolt Clamp Kit.
    Note: Make sure the two antennas are at least 35 cm apart to avoid interference.


    1. Pass the antenna through the antenna clamp and secure it with four screws.
    2. Wrap the U-bolt around a pole and secure the clamp with nuts and other accessories.
  3. Connect the antenna on the pole to the gateway with the coaxial cable.

Weather Protection

To protect the gateway from outdoor bad weather, it is necessary to cover all cable connectors and antenna connectors with tapes.

Prerequisites: Electrical Insulation Tapes, 3M Waterproof Tapes

Steps:
  1. Ensure the antennas and cables are installed tightly, then clean the surfaces of connectors.
    Note: Install the antenna lightning arresters to the connectors before wrapping tapes if required.
  2. Wrap a layer of electrical insulation tape tightly around the connectors and overlap the previous wrap by 50%.
  3. Wrap a layer of 3M waterproof tape tightly around the connectors and overlap the previous wrap by 50%. Note that the tapes should be stretched to double their length when using.
  4. Wrap a layer of electrical insulation tape with natural uncoiling force around the connectors and overlap the previous wrap by 50%, ensure them to cover the head and tail of the connectors.
    Antenna Connector:

    Ethernet Cable:

Lightning Protection

Take lighting protection measures, including but not limited to:
  • Connect the gateway to the earth ground.
  • Add lightning arresters on the antenna connectors.
  • Add PoE surge protectors between gateway and the PoE injector/switch as required.
  • Ensure the gateway with antennas is positioned lower than the highest point of the building and within the protection range of the lighting rod.
  • If there is not lightning rod around, ensure the location of the gateway is not in the influence area of the lightning, or fix a lightning rod above the antennas.
  • The cross-setcional area of the earthing wire should be more than 10 AWG.
