Site survey

A cellular site survey is not necessary if your anticipated installation location is known to have strong cellular signal strength. If you are unsure of available cellular signal strength or are choosing between several installation locations, follow the below instructions to perform a site survey to determine your best possible installation location. After the optimal location has been determined, set up the EX15 with either the power supply unit or the PoE injector cable.

1. During a site survey it is useful to use the included battery pack instead of the power supply unit to power the EX15. The battery pack will power your device for approximately two hours while you perform your site survey. The battery pack is not rechargeable and should be properly disposed of after use.

2. LTE requires at least two antennas.

3. Move the EX15 to different locations within your site to determine the best compromise between signal strength and installation constraints. Since cellular signal strength may fluctuate, it is important to wait at each location for 1 minute while observing the signal strength indicator on the front of the device. Minimum cellular signal strength for proper operation is 2 bars.
4. After the optimal location has been determined, remove the battery pack and connect either the main power supply unit or the PoE injector cable (see EX15 power installation).
