Ensure that the voltage at the pole is 120-277V. Verify that power feed is on 24/7 constant power. The LightGrid mesh will not operate properly when operating on switched power from a master timer or photocell. Plan Route to install Gateways at the locations recommended by Current Team. Gateways must be located at strategic spots in the deployment to carefully balance the way the mesh forms. Based on the pole locations of all the desired Controllers that will be installed, the Current team will perform an RF simulation and recommend where the Gateways should be installed. Failure to follow the recommended installation locations may cause areas of the deployment to have no mesh network communications, or to overload the mesh causing poor connectivity and performance. If the Gateway will be using a wired connection (fiber / Ethernet), consultation and network architecture design must be completed and approved by the Current IT Team prior to installation of any Gateways. (Note:
Current strongly recommends using Current provided cellular backhaul instead of wired connections). Where to Install Gateway Specifications Best performance will be achieved when the Gateway antenna is as high above ground level as possible. Do not install the unit inside of any other enclosure. Gateways can be mounted on a light pole up to 16 in diameter, or on a pole-like structure on a rooftop. For more details about Rooftop Mounting, see Appendix A. The Gateway is to be mounted with the pole mounting brackets horizontal, and the latch facing upwards. The Antenna must be mounted vertically. 120-277V AC Input Weight: 7 lbs.
