2. Installation
2.1. Overview
•The Kona Micro Gateway is intended for indoor use only.
•The Kona Micro Gateway has no internal field serviceable parts other than the battery. Other
than installing or replacing the battery, the Gateway module must only be opened by an
approved TEKTELIC service center.
•All installation practices must be in accordance with the local and national electrical codes.
•Ensure that the Kona Micro Gateway is located to eliminate any physical hazard to people or
property.
•The Kona Micro Gateway shall be powered from the supplied AC-DC power adaptor or PoE.
Simultaneous powering from both the DC barrel connector and PoE input is not supported;
no damage can occur but unexpected operation may result.
•Do not cover the Gateway or in any way obstruct airflow through the enclosure openings.
•The Kona Micro Gateway may as an option contain a built-in battery. The Gateway may
continue to operate after the DC power connection is removed. To completely power down
the Gateway when optional battery backup is present, both the external DC power source
and the battery must be disconnected.
•If the battery needs replacement, use only a replacement battery provided by Tektelic
Communications Inc. After battery installation, ensure that the battery cover is secured using
the supplied battery cover securement screws. Dispose of old batteries in accordance with
regulatory requirements.
2.2. Unpacking and Inspection
The following should be considered during the unpacking of a new Kona Micro Gateway.
1. Inspect the shipping carton and report any significant damage to TEKTELIC.
2. Unpacking should be conducted in a clean and dry location when possible.
3. Do not discard the shipping box or foam inserts as they will be required if a unit is returned
for repair or re-configuration.
2.3. Kona Micro Gateway Mounting
Kona Micro Gateway can be placed on a flat surface or can be mounted to a wall with M3
screws to locations on the back of the module illustrated in Figure 3.

Figure 4: Kona Micro Gateway Module Wall Mounting Orientation
Ensure that the wall on which the Gateway is being mounted is secure, flat and able to support a
load of at least 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs).
The Kona Micro Gateway wall mounting procedure is as follows:
1. Install the M3 screws into the wall.
2. Install 2 site supplied M3 screws into the wall at 60 mm (2.4”) center spacing, leaving the
screw heads protruding with a 3 mm gap from the wall surface.
3. Hang the Kona Micro Gateway by mounting the two to keyhole slots onto the screws.
2.4. DC Power Cable Installation
The Kona Micro Gateway is powered from the supplied AC-DC power adaptor. The adaptor
provides 12 VDC with positive inner tip as shown below in Figure 5. The connector tip is a
standard DC Barrel connector-straight plug with 2.1 mm (inner), 5.5 mm (outer) diameters.

2.5. Battery Installation
Use only a battery provided by Tektelic Communications Inc. Dispose of old batteries in
accordance with regulatory requirements. Remove the battery cover by removing the two Torx-
drive battery cover securement screws. Connect the 3-pin battery connector to the connector at
the bottom of the battery compartment and then insert the battery into the battery
compartment as illustrated in Figure 6. After the battery is connected and inserted, reinstall the
battery cover and secure it in place using the two battery cover securement screws.

Figure 6: Battery Installation
2.6. RF Cable Installation
The Kona Micro Gateway installation requires connection to a LoRa RF antenna. The antenna
attaches to the reverse SMA connector located on the side of the Gateway. Torque the connector
to 5 in·lbs. The Kona Micro is not protected from lighting surge as it is intended for Indoor use.
Do not connect to an outdoor antenna.
Note that the 3G/4G modem antenna is internal to the Kona Micro Gateway.
2.7. Copper Ethernet Cable Installation
The Kona Micro Gateway Ethernet port may be used on a temporary basis for commissioning and
maintenance or may be permanently connected for backhaul and/or optional PoE.
The Ethernet cable must have minimum 24 AWG conductors and shall be rated for indoor
application according to local and national electrical codes.
2.8. Proposition 65 Statement
󱛻󱛼󱛽WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, beryllium, cobalt
oxide, nickel oxide, carbon black and lithium nickelate & nickel, which is known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go

5. Installation
5.1. Précautions de sécurité
•La passerelle intérieure Kona Micro est conçue pour une utilisation en intérieur uniquement.
•La passerelle interne Kona Micro ne comporte aucune pièce interne réparable sur place autre
que la batterie. En dehors de l'installation ou du remplacement de la batterie, le module
passerelle ne doit être ouvert que par un centre de service agréé TEKTELIC.
•Toutes les pratiques d'installation doivent être conformes aux codes électriques locaux et
nationaux.
•Assurez-vous que la Kona Micro Gateway est située de façon à éliminer tout risque physique
pour les personnes ou les biens.
•La passerelle Kona Micro doit être alimentée par l'adaptateur d'alimentation AC-DC fourni ou
PoE. L'alimentation simultanée à partir du connecteur cylindrique CC et de l'entrée PoE n'est
pas prise en charge ; aucun dommage ne peut se produire, mais un fonctionnement inattendu
peut en résulter.
•Ne couvrez pas la passerelle et n'obstruez en aucun cas le flux d'air à travers les ouvertures
du boîtier.
•La Kona Micro Gateway peut contenir en option une batterie intégrée. La passerelle peut
continuer à fonctionner après le retrait de la connexion d'alimentation CC. Pour éteindre
complètement la passerelle lorsque la batterie de secours en option est présente, la source
d'alimentation CC externe et la batterie doivent être déconnectées.
•Si la batterie doit être remplacée, n'utilisez qu'une batterie de rechange fournie par Tektelic
Communications Inc. Après l'installation de la batterie, assurez-vous que le couvercle de la
batterie est fixé à l'aide des vis de fixation du couvercle de la batterie fournies. Débarrassez-
vous des vieilles batteries conformément aux exigences réglementaires.
5.2. Déballage et inspection
Les éléments suivants doivent être pris en compte lors du déballage d'une nouvelle Kona Micro
Gateway.
1. Inspectez le carton d'emballage et signalez tout dommage important à TEKTELIC.
2. Le déballage doit être effectué dans un endroit propre et sec lorsque cela est possible.
3. Ne jetez pas la boîte d'expédition ou les inserts en mousse car ils seront nécessaires si une
unité est retournée pour réparation ou reconfiguration.
