Installation Procedure
NOT:N The utility is responsible for properly positioning the ORION SE network gateway transceiver. For optimal reception
and transmission, locate the network gateway transceiver and antennas in line-of-site view of the desired endpoints.
The ORION SE network gateway transceiver should be positioned no closer than 25 feet from the nearest endpoint.
Connecting the Battery Backup
The ORION SE network gateway transceiver contains an onboard battery backup. The battery must be connected before the
network gateway transceiver is installed and powered. Follow these steps to connect the battery backup.
NOT:N Refer to "Battery Backup Replacement" on page 20 for details on replacing the battery.
1. Using a #2 slotted or Phillips screwdriver, remove the
enclosure cover by unscrewing four corner-cover
screws.
NOT:N The battery is held in place by the enclosure
cover only. No other adhesive or locking
mechanism is used.
2. Carefully install the battery connector onto the circuit
board. Insert the connector only far enough so that the
connector latch engages. Verify that proper connector
polarity is observed.
3. Replace the enclosure cover. Tighten each of the four
cover screws to 16 inch-pounds, maximum. Be careful
not to overtighten any of the screws.

2. Verify that a rubber O-ring is in place in the O-ring gland at the bottom of both whip antennas.
3. By hand, place a whip antenna onto an antenna receptacle and then thread the antenna clockwise to tighten to the
full compression of the O-ring.
4. Repeat Step 3 for the other whip antenna.
Attaching the GPRS or Wi-Fi Antenna
1. Remove plastic cover from the Type N female connector on backhaul bracket.
2. Remove backhaul antenna from the carton.
3. Thread the Type N male connector (antenna) onto the Type N female connector on the backhaul bracket.
