Figure 4-1 - Wireless Gateway RF Lobe (Approx. for Illustration Purposes Only)
Outdoor units should be installed so the RF lobe is directed to the area to be covered:
If installed on a wall, the front panel should face the covered area and the other
Wireless Gateway units
If installed on the canopy, the front panel should be facing down
If installed on top of the dispenser or on other horizontal surface, the front panel
should be facing up, as long as the Wireless Gateway is not installed higher than
1.5-2m/5-6ft
In-Pump units should be placed in the dispenser head, in the center or behind the display
Note: Some dispenser heads may substantially block the RF signal. In this cases, use an
Outdoor unit instead.
4.4. Location Recommendations
Take into account the following recommendations:
Maintain a clear line of sight between the Wireless Gateway units as much as possible
If an Outdoor unit is used, install it as high as possible
Install an Outdoor unit on the canopy if possible from maintenance and
infrastructure point of view
If there is LAN connection in the forecourt, place the Master Wireless Gateway on the island
and not on the station office/store wall
Best Practice: Use Outdoor units whenever possible to prevent signal from being blocked
by the metal housing of the dispenser head.
