Installation Instructions
Day zero configuration provides a comprehensive interface to make the installation process in four easy
steps.
1° Mount according to the drawing in page 4. Make sure that it has WIFI or GPRS reception (depending
on the DASH version).
2° Attach two 2.4 GHz antennas, in their slots.
3° Plug the interlock cable and connect it to a power supply (100-240 VAC). This device has no buttons
or switches so, once it is powered, it should start running.
4° When POWER led is on and RSSI-WIFI led is lock on red, DASH is operative and ready.

Symptoms
Posible Reasons
Solutions
DASH is not
responding. No led
activity.
The device is disconnected.
Connect the DASH to a power supply (100-240
VAC).
Power cable is damaged.
Replace the interlock power cable.
DASH can’t configure a
valid IP.
Wi-Fi signal quality is not strong
enough.
Check that the antennas are well screwed. If
they are, try replacing them.
Check the Wi-Fi signal quality in the area.
Bad setting of Wi-Fi configuration.
Check saved configuration on internal Micro SD
card.
DASH can´t connect
with server.
DASH in not connected to
internet.
See “DASH can’t configure a valid IP”.
Server has no access to the
DASH’s network.
Check if the server is visible from the DASH’s
network.
Micro SD failed.
Micro SD card is damaged.
Replace the internal Micro SD card for a new
one.
Loss of Data.
DASH is overloaded.
Remove DOTs connected to the DASH, one by
one, until data is displayed in real time and no
data is missing.

Recommendations, Warnings and Restrictions.
FCC-Approved Antennas (2.4 GHz)
For complying with FCC regulations, use the tables below for choose the correct antennas.
If he antenna is mounted at least 20cm (8 in.) from nearby persons, the application is considered a
mobile application. Antennas not listed in the table must be tested to comply with FCC Section 15.203
(Unique Antenna Connectors) and Section 15.247 Emissions).
Australtek does not carry all of these antenna variants. Contact Australtek for available antennas.

RF Exposure WARNING:
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm or more
should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device
operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance are not
recommended.
Restrictions
France: Outdoor use limited to 10 mW EIRP within the band 2454-2483.5 MHz.
Norway: Norway prohibits operation near Ny-Alesund in Svalbard. More information can be found at the
Norway Posts and Telecommunications site (www.npt.no).
Italy: For private use, a general authorization is required if WAS/RLANs are used outside own
premises. For public use, a general authorization is required.
Russian Federation:
• Maximum mean EIRP density is 2 mW/MHz, maximum 100 mW EIRP.
• Maximum mean EIRP density is 20 mW/MHz, maximum 100 mW EIRP permitted to use SRD for
outdoor applications only, for purposes of gathering telemetry information for automated monitoring and
resources accounting systems or security systems.
• Maximum mean EIRP density is 10 mW/MHz, maximum 100 mW EIRP for indoor applications.
Ukraine: EIRP must be less than or equal to 100 mW with built-in antenna, with amplification factor up
