IMPORTANT! A Radio Frequency (RF) site survey is recommended prior to any installation to help determine the best location for the antenna(s). For assistance, contact a Siemens Sales representative. To install an RF antenna, do the following: Mount the antenna to a pole or wall in an area that provides good signal coverage and is away from any signal noise emanating from other communications equipment.
Section 2.6.2 Installing an External GPS Antenna The RUGGEDCOM WIN7237 base station is equipped with an internal omni-directional GPS antenna. This is ideal for indoor applications, but for outdoor applications, an external antenna may be required. The application may also require a directional – as opposed to omni-directional – antenna.
Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM WIN7237 Installing the Base Station Installation Guide Section 2.7 Grounding the Base Station The base station is considered to be connected to a centralized DC power system. Therefore, the power cable should be grounded. The base station should be permanently connected to ground/Earth with a 10 AWG cable.
Connecting to a RUGGEDCOM RP100 or RP110 The RUGGEDCOM RP100 and RP110 are optional power injectors for powering and providing data to the RUGGEDCOM WIN7237. The RUGGEDCOM RP100 and RP110 meet a wider temperature and voltage range than the standardRUGGEDCOM WIN1010.
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. The power cord provided with the data adapter is safety certified according to national rules. Do not use a power cord that has not been approved by Siemens for use with the data adapter. IMPORTANT! Only use the supplied data adapter with the base station.
