Picking the right location for your AQ Bridge is vitally important because it builds the mesh network that connects your building and wires directly to your meters.
When installing your Bridge, there are two main factors to consider: 1. A secure, open space to mount; 2. Wiring your meters
1. A Secure, Open Space To Mount
The Bridge needs to be away from metallic structures and cannot be mounted inside a metallic box or enclosure to ensure good radio frequency
Leave clearance above to attach your antenna after mounting.
Keep the Bridge in a restricted area so it cannot be damaged or moved by unauthorized personnel.
2. Wiring to meters
If you are connecting meters directly to your Bridge it is important to factor in wiring distance. Your wiring should be as short as possible (but can still be up to 4000 ft) and far away from electrical noise.
