Gateway Installation — Overview
The GrainVue outdoor communications gateway system comes with a pre-built and mounted MikroTik
LtAP unit. Throughout this section, various antennas will need to be installed and connected to this base
unit. A Gateway Power Supply Unit (PSU) is also provided to supply power remotely to the gateway over
standard, shielded category 5e data cable.
The maximum distance for gateway communications in a typical environment, with a clear line of sight,
should be no more than 2,000 m or 6,565 ft. Recommended installation locations for PSU(s) and
Gateway(s) are provided on a custom site map.

Chapter 2: Gateway Installation
What You Should Know
The Gateway PSU must be installed in a location that has sufficient air circulation around the box.
Minimum clearance is 22" W x 27" H to ensure protection against electrical conducted noise.
NOTE: Refer to the custom site map for the recommended PSU installation location.
1. Fasten two cable glands (31) into the pre-drilled holes in the Gateway PSU (2) enclosure.
NOTE: These cable glands (31) can be found packaged inside of the enclosure.
Figure 2-1 Installing the cable glands to the Gateway PSU enclosure
2Gateway PSU 31 Cable gland
2. Insert the provided ethernet cable (14) and power cable (15) through the cable glands (31) and
terminate them into the Gateway PSU PCBA terminal blocks. Refer to the Figure 2-2, page 16 and
Table 2-1, page 16 for proper cable mapping.

4. Plug the Power Cable (15) connected to the Gateway PSU (2), into an available power outlet
on-site.
NOTE: The Ethernet Cable (14) will be connected in a later step.
Installing the Permanent Power Cable
WARNING
Only a certified electrician can complete the power supply installation. Make sure all
power sources are disconnected before performing any maintenance or service.
Always follow all national and local electrical and safety regulation for your area.
1. Disconnect and remove the temporary Power Cable (15) from the Gateway PSU (2) as shown in
Figure 2-2, page 16.
2. Remove the installed cable gland (31) from the Gateway PSU (2) as shown in Figure 2-1, page 16.
3. Replace the removed cable gland (31) with an outdoor rated conduit fitting.
4. Run outdoor rated #14-12 AWG cable through the conduit fitting to the terminal block connections
as shown in Figure 2-2, page 16.
5. Connect the outdoor rated cable to a circuit protected by a 15 Amp circuit breaker.

Chapter 2: Gateway Installation
Installing the Gateway
The Gateway assembly can be mounted multiple ways, choose an option that is best for your site
location. There are two gateway assembly variants that can be provided with GrainVue systems. Option 1
(KIT - Gateway Mounted Assembly, WiFi) is used for connection to a pre-established local WiFi network.
Option 2 (KIT - Gateway Mounted Assembly, Cell) is used for connection to a cellular network. The
appropriate kit(s) will be provided on a per-site basis. Step 4 is the only step in this portion of the
installation that will vary between the two kits.
1. Install the WiFi omni Antenna (4) onto the gateway top bracket (5) using the two pre-installed bolt
and nut sets (6).
