Positioning recommendations
Following are the recommendations for positioning the Cassia X2000.
PARAMETER | RECOMMENDATION |
Signal type | Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) |
Distance | ~30m (~100 ft) |
Signal strength | Above 70 dBm, validate the BLE signal |
Wi-Fi coverage | Recommended upload: 2.0 Mbps Recommended download: Minimum of 2.0 Mbps. |
Installation height | Install in an uncluttered location (wall or pole). For optimal performance mount the getaway 6ft high (183 cm) or more. |
# of endpoints supported | Install up to 64 endpoints to the Cassia X2000 (on multiple machines) |
Notes:
Have a clear line of sight, with minimal obstructions, between the Cassia X2000 and the EPs.
If choosing to install using the Cellular option, you need to check for cellular coverage during the planning phase, prior to installation.
Only use the internal antennas provided with the X2000.
Avoid locations where machinery may move.
Site preparation
The site must provide a 110-240 VAC power socket within close proximity to the agreed gateway location.
Additionally, it is important to outline the environmental conditions, whether outdoor or inside, and to discover any site restrictions before the installation date.
Prior to the actual mounting/installation, use the Positioning recommendations to determine the optimal mounting position and location. The Cassia X2000 should be installed at a distance of 30 meters from the endpoints.
Use the Augury and Cassia mounting brackets to mark the positions of the drilling location and drill the holes.
