General information
The C06 gateway has 3 antenna connectors:
LTE connector with red marking.
GPS connector with blue marking.
WiFi connector with yellow marking.
The antenna connectors are connected to the SMA connectors of the C06 gateway as shown in the image below. Always connect the connectors after mounting the gateway on the DIN rail.
Attention!
The torque of the antenna connectors: 0.3 – 0.5 Nm. Tightening recommended by hand, not with an open-end wrench.
Types of antennas
Calculus uses 2 versions of antennas for the C07W gateway, a flat version and a spherical version.
Tip!
If there is little space for an upright antenna connector, you can also contact Calculus for 90° SMA connectors.
Points of attention for a good reception:
The spherical antenna requires a metal surface, the flat antenna can be mounted on any surface.
Antennas should be mounted horizontally and pointed upwards without high metal obstacles in an environment of 0.5m.
Antenna cables should be as short as possible to minimize reception losses. Calculus provides standard lengths of 2m. In exceptional cases, 3m or an extension can also be provided, but this will increase the loss of receipt.
