Chapter 2: Installation Requirements
Choosing The Right Location
Warning: The 9150 must be installed by qualified Psion Teklogix personnel.
2.1 Choosing The Right Location
Typically, Psion Teklogix conducts a site survey in the plant and then recommends
the preferred locations for the 9150s. These locations provide good radio coverage,
minimize the distance to the host computer or network controller, and meet the
environmental requirements.
2.1.1 Environment
2.1.1.1 9150 W ireless Gateway
The 9150 should be located in a well-ventilated area and should be protected from
extreme temperature fluctuations (i.e. direct heater output, shipping doors or
direct sunlight). If a protective cover is required, it must have enough ventilation
to maintain the 9150’s surface at or near room temperature.
Refer to Chapter 8: “Specifications” for a more detailed description of environmen-
tal requirements. Keep in mind that the long term stability of this equipment will
be enhanced if the environmental conditions are less severe than those listed in
this manual.
The 9150 should be situated away from the path of vehicles and free from water or
dust spray. The 9150 should only be mounted in the upright position, as shown in
Figure 2.1 on page 16. This orientation minimizes the risk of water entering the
9150, should the unit accidentally be sprayed.
The 9150 is attached to a vertical surface using four fasteners on the rear plate (type
of fasteners are dependent on mounting surface). The top two holes in the rear plate
are slots, allowing the unit to be hung in position before the remaining bolts are
installed, thus easing installation. The bolts used for installation are SAE 1/4-20.
