3. Hardware Installation
3.1 SIM Card Installation
A. Insert the SIM card into the device according to the direction icon on the device. If you need to take
out the SIM card, press into the SIM card and it will pop up automatically.
B. Tighten the SIM dust cover with a wrench to prevent water into the device.
Note: UG67 does not support hot-plugging (also called hot swapping). please turn off the power before
you insert or take off cards.
3.2 Antenna Installation
UG67 supports multiple LoRa antenna types. After installation, please select the corresponding
installation type in web GUI. It’s suggested to select double antenna mode for better Helium network
coverage.
Internal Antenna Mode: keep hotspot positive outwards to ensure a good signal.
Signal Antenna Mode: the external antenna must be installed on the ANT1 connector.
Double Antenna Mode: it’s suggested to add a coaxial cable between one of antenna connectors (ANT1
is recommended) and LoRa antenna to ensure better performance. After installation, the LoRa antenna
can be fixed to a pole via antenna clamp kit. Pass this LoRa antenna through the antenna clamp and fix

8
it with 4 screws, then wrap the U-bolt around a pole and fix the clamp with nuts and other accessories.
3.3 Ethernet Cable & Power Cable Installation
Pass the Ethernet cable through the cable gland and rotate the cable gland to the hotspot, then tighten
the cable gland with a wrench.
For DC or solar power supply, remove the protective cap of the power connector and rotate the DC
power cable into the power connector.
3.4 Power Supply
UG67 can be powered by 802.3af standard PoE or 12VDC. If there is not PoE switch, please use a PoE
injector to power on the UG67 as below:

3.5 Hotspot Installation
UG67 can be mounted to a wall or a pole. Before you start, make sure that your SIM card has been
inserted, your antennas have been attached and all cables have been installed.
Note: Do not connect the device to the power supply or other devices when installing.
3.5.1 Wall Mounting
Preparation: mounting bracket (with a screw), wall plugs, wall mounting screws and other required
tools.
A. Align the mounting bracket horizontally to the desired position on the wall, use a marker pen to mark
four mounting holes on the wall, and then remove the mounting bracket from the wall.
Note: The connecting lines of adjacent points are at right angles.
B. Drill four holes with a depth of 32 mm by using your drill with a 6 mm drill bit on the positions you
marked previously on the wall.
C. Insert four wall plugs into the holes respectively.
D. Mount the mounting bracket horizontally to the wall by fixing the wall mounting screws into the wall
plugs.
E. Hang the device to the mounting bracket via bracket mounting screws on the back of the device, then
screw the bracket screw to the bottom of the device.

3.5.2 Pole Mounting
Preparation: mounting bracket (with a screw), hose clamp and other required tools.
A. Loosen the hose clamp by turning the locking mechanism counter-clockwise.
B. Straighten out the hose clamp and slide it through the rectangular rings in the mounting bracket,
wrap the hose clamp around the pole.
C. Use a screwdriver to tighten the locking mechanism by turning it clockwise.
D. Hang the device to the mounting bracket via bracket mounting screws on the back of the device,
then screw the bracket screw to the bottom of the device.
