How to proceed
- 1
Decide the location
UG63 for offices and shops, UG56 for cabinets and DIN rail, UG65 for indoors and under eaves, UG67 for rooftops, poles and open sites.
- 2
Count the devices
If you will use the built-in network server with more than 20 sensors, choose UG56, UG65 or UG67 instead of UG63.
- 3
Choose the backhaul
Without an Ethernet line, pick a 4G variant; on UG67, 4G LTE and Wi-Fi can act as failover.
- 4
Run a coverage test
Measure signal at the farthest sensor points; raise the gateway or add a second one if needed.
