Proceed as follows:

  • Install the Hub in a central location (best possible reception).
  • If the quality of the LoRa signal is sufficient: Keep the original antenna on the hub. You can check signal quality from the LoRaWAN using:
    • a field tester
    • the User Console (Software version is 5.6.2 or later.). Once the Hub and the LoRaWAN device are paired, you can verify the signal quality.
  • Where signal strength is too weak: remove the original antenna out of the cabinet; use an RF extension cord with a SMA connector up to 2 meters + 1 adhesive support to hold the antenna.
  • Where signal strength is still too weak: use a high-gain antenna with a maximum 10-meter cable; this antenna can, be used outside or on other floors to obtain the best signal quality.

Proceed as follows for each sensor:

  1. Log in to user console (available at console) and go to Equipment.
  1. Add multi-sensors by searching Siemens - IAQ-Multi-sensor from equipment list.
  1. Enter device info from the label on the front of surface mount.
  1. Power on sensor and wait for connection.
