1. Installation
1.1. Installation Guidelines
- Mount with three M6 fasteners and a 12 mm head.
- Do not mount with connectors facing up.
- Mount in a location with some air flow.
- The gateway and antennas must follow the distances specified in Section 1.2 to comply with FCC part 1.310 and ISED RSS-102.
- Mount to either a metal (thermally conductive) surface OR use spacers to leave a 1/4" gap between the metal plate and the mounting surface.
- Account for approximately 20cm of clearance from the internal antenna, which is marked on the outside of the box, if possible.
- Recommended: Mount the TCU with the metal plate towards the mounting location.
- If mounting upside down or mounting with a metal frame on top of the unit, try to allow for some line of sight from the antenna out of the vehicle. Mounting upside down will not completely block RF but may cause degraded performance due to shadowing.
1.2. Usage Restrictions and Limits of Exposure (Based on SAR Testing)
The gateway and antennas must follow the distances in the following table and illustration to comply with FCC part 1.310 and ISED RSS-102.
| Device | Distance from Operator |
|---|---|
| Cellular and GPS Antenna | 92mm |
| Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Antenna | 92mm |
Figure 1 Separation Distance Description: The diagram illustrates the required separation distances for radio frequency exposure compliance. It shows a human figure labeled "Operator" positioned at a distance from two antennas. One antenna is labeled "Cellular and GPS Antenna" and the other is part of the "TCU and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Antenna" unit. Both antennas are shown to be 92mm away from the operator. This visually represents the 92mm separation distance requirement for both cellular/GPS and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antennas from the user.
