. Hardware Setup and Installation
This section etails how to setup an connect the BrioSens™ Gateway before use.
.1. SIM Card Installation
The SIM car installation must be one in an electrostatic ischarge (ESD) safe environment.
Failure to o so can amage the evice.
Step 1 – Remove the screw terminals cover screw using a Philips screw river.
Step 2 – Flip back the unit an remove the five bottom screws using a Philips screw river.

Step 3 – Flip back the evice an carefully remove the top cover.
While removing the top
cover
, take care not to pull the coaxial cables. Excessive forces on the
coaxial cables can amage them or their mating connectors.
Step 4 – Insert the Micro-SIM car into the BitPipe™ SIM car hol er in the orientation shown. Press the
car until it clicks-in.

Step 5 – Reinstall the top cover, the bottom five screws an the screw terminals cover screw. Do not
over-tighten the screws. Stripping the screw mounts may compromise the IP65 rating on associate
mo els.
For IP65
protecte mo els
, the gaskets must be clean to ensure proper sealing of the evice.
Inspect the gaskets before reassembling the unit, an clean them using a lint-free cloth if
necessary.

.2. Antenna Installation (models with external antennas only)
One or two antenna(s) must be connecte to the evice, epen ing on mo el, to the SMA connectors
locate on the rear si e of the unit. Goo quality coaxial extension cable may be use if nee e to
position the antenna(s) farther from the evice. The SMA connectors have stan ar polarity (i.e. are
not reverse polarity).
The
SMA connectors
must be mate
carefully an fasten until snug; recommen e
torque
is
80 to 110 N·cm (7 to 10 Ibf·in). Do not overtighten as this may amage the connectors an
cause unreliable RF performances.
Below are the antenna(s) requirements:
Models with 3G (UMTS) / 2G (GSM/GPRS) cellular radio (part numbers with -32G):
• 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz ban s for GSM/GPRS/EDGE (2G) communication
• 800, 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz ban s for UMTS/HSPA+ (3G) communication
• Maximum antenna gain, inclu ing cable loss, of 1.27 Bi at 850 MHz
• Maximum antenna gain, inclu ing cable loss, of 2.51 Bi at 1900 MHz
Models with 4G-LTE Cat. 1 / fallback to 3G (UMTS) cellular radio (part numbers with -43G1):
• 850, 1700/2100 (AWS), 1900 MHz ban s for UMTS/HSPA+ (3G) communication
• 700, 850, 1700/2100 (AWS), 1900 MHz ban s for LTE-Cat1 (4G) communication
• Maximum antenna gain, inclu ing cable loss, of 2.15 Bi at 700, 850, 1700 an 1900 MHz
Using a higher gain antenna(s)
