To reduce the risk of cable damage, secure the excess endpoint cable with the cable ties from the Remote Mount Installation Kit. Pull the cable tight. Remove and properly dispose the excess cable tie. Caution Upright vertical installation is very important! • 2.4GZ OpenWay Remote Mount Gas Module endpoints are designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the antenna is parallel to the reading device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity can greatly affect RF performance and enable easy endpoint reading. • 2.4GZ OpenWay Remote Mount Gas Module endpoints are designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to maintain vertical positioning in the field to enable tilt tamper stability. 2.4GZ OpenWay Remote Mount Gas Module installation on a vertical flat surface or wall is complete.
