proceed to mount the whole device as shown in
(Fig. 4). Proceed to (Fig. 5) if you want to

■

The antennas are 3dBi (at 2.4 GHz) and a 5 dBi (at 5 GHz); once fixed
to the rail, do not place them parallel, otherwise their signal will
interfere with each other.

Note:

The first two pictures illustrate not recommended setup for the
AW5500; signal will strongly decrease with the antennas on this
position.

■

If the device is not going to be placed on
the rail and to be positioned horizontally,
then the antennas could be setup
making a “V” shape, (Fig. 6).

(Fig. 6)

■

The openings to the sides are for the
device’s heat dissipation and there may
be inside hazardous voltages, please
never obstruct or cover them with any
objects or try to insert them through it.
