Applications
The Mobile Access Portal (MAP) Gateway is an alternate
local display solution or a temporary portable
commissioning device that enables users to leverage the
power of mobility using smart phones, tablets, or laptop
computers to interact with building automation equipment
controls. The MAP Gateway serves up web pages through
a built-in Wi-Fi access point or tethered Ethernet
connection, which allows users to view and edit
equipment controller configuration parameters, setpoints,
schedules, and alarms through a browser. A mobile
application is not required to use the MAP Gateway with
your mobile device.
The MAP Gateway can be used to see field bus devices
on Metasys® systems, Facility Explorer systems, and
Smart Equipment rooftop units (RTUs) with unit control
boards (UCBs). The MAP Gateway supports
Johnson Controls® branded Field Controllers, including
FEC, FAC, VMA, PCA, PCG, and PCV Series devices.
MAP Gateway also supports the TEC3000 Series
Thermostats.
The wireless connection on the MAP Gateway allows
users of a supported mobile device to be up to 30 m (100
ft, line of sight) away indoors and up to 91 m (300 ft, line
of sight) away outdoors. Power may be supplied via the
SAB (sensor/actuator bus), the FCB (field controller bus),
a supplied external power supply, or a micro USB port.
The MAP Gateway comes in two configurations: a
portable configuration and a stationary configuration.
Configuration is chosen at purchase, and the accessories
shipped with the MAP Gateway depend on the
configuration chosen.
When used as a portable device, the MAP Gateway can
be attached to a lanyard. In this configuration, the MAP
Gateway can be carried from site to site, depending on
the needs and workflow of field personnel.
When used as a stationary device, the MAP Gateway
can be permanently mounted directly to a wall or DIN rail
using the supplied MAP Gateway mounting cradle.

Special Tools Needed
To use the MAP Gateway, you need a mobile device
(tablet or smart phone) or computer (laptop or desktop)
that supports Wi-Fi.
If the unit is permanently mounted to a vertical surface
without a DIN rail, you need screws to mount the unit.
The specific screw types depend upon the surface to
which the unit is mounted. The screw holes on the MAP
Gateway can accommodate M3.5 and #6 screws.
Portable Use
When used as a portable unit, the MAP Gateway should
be housed in the supplied shell. During use, the unit can
be temporarily hung on nearby equipment using the
supplied lanyard.
Risk of Personal Injury. Do not wear or hold the MAP
Gateway during use, and only use or install the MAP
Gateway at locations where there is at least 20 cm
between the built-in antenna and all persons. Failure to
do so may result in minor or moderate personal injury.
MISE EN GARDE:
Risque de blessure. Ne pas porter ou soutenir l'MAP
Gateway durant son utilisation et utiliser ou installer
l'MAP Gateway uniquement à un emplacement offrant
une distance minimum de 20 cm entre l'antenne intégrée
et toute personne. Le non-respect de cette précaution
risque de provoquer des blessures légères ou de gravité
modérée.
Observe the following guidelines when using a portable
MAP Gateway:
•Do not use the RJ-12 cable to support the weight of
the MAP Gateway. Use the lanyard to support it.
•Keep the MAP Gateway in the protective shell with
which it ships. To insert the MAP Gateway into the
shell, stretch the shell edges and slide the MAP
Gateway unit into place (Figure 1). This shell protects
the unit from drops up to 1.22 m (4 ft).
•The MAP Gateway has not been designed for
prolonged outdoor use. Leaving it in outdoor
environments (such as inside rooftop units) may result
in damage.
•Objects (including ductwork, cabinets, doors, and
glass) can impede the wireless signal. Minimize the
number of objects between the connected computer
or mobile device and the MAP Gateway. Use line of
sight, if possible.
•Metal objects (such as cabinet doors, enclosures, and
pipes) and concrete objects (such as pillars, walls,
and ceilings) may limit Wi-Fi service. To
accommodate potential structural obstacles on site,
the MAP Gateway can be mounted flat or on the side.
Use of the mounting bracket locking screw requires a
T15 Torx driver.
Risk of Property Damage. Do not use the RJ-12 cable
or any other field bus cable or electrical cable to support
the weight of the MAP Gateway. Hanging the MAP
Gateway from anything other than the supplied lanyard
may result in damage to the product or peripheral
equipment.
MISE EN GARDE:
Risque de dégâts matériels. Ne pas utiliser le câble

Location Considerations
Observe the following guidelines when mounting a MAP
Gateway:
•Mount the MAP Gateway in areas free of corrosive
vapors and observe the environmental limitations
listed in the Technical Specifications section of this
document.
•Objects (including ductwork, cabinets, doors, and
glass) can impede the wireless signal. Minimize the
number of objects between the connected computer
or mobile device computer and the MAP Gateway.
Use line of sight, if possible.
•Metal objects (such as cabinet doors, enclosures, and
pipes) and concrete objects (such as pillars, walls,
and ceilings) may limit Wi-Fi service. To
accommodate potential structural obstacles on site,
the MAP Gateway can be mounted flush against the
wall or perpendicular to it.
•The MAP Gateway is not rated for outdoor mounting.
Locking Screw (Stationary Unit Only)
Regardless of which mounting configuration is used, a
locking screw can be used to secure the unit into the
mounting bracket. Do not overtighten the locking screw.
Mounting
Permanent
When used in a stationary configuration, the MAP
Gateway is permanently mounted using a bracket which
is provided with the stationary MAP Gateway. We
recommend the following three ways to mount the unit:
vertically (upright and flush), horizontally (sideways and
flush), or perpendicularly (perpendicular to the wall). This
flexibility allows the unit to be mounted in a way that
minimizes spacial constraints and maximizes placement
options for optimal wireless signal strength.
The unit should be mounted in such a way that labels
can be read if they are visible. (For example, do not mount
the unit upside down, which puts the labels upside down.)
Figure 2: Stationary Mounting with Locking Screw
Permanent Mounting Locations
The mounting bracket can be attached to a 35 mm
(1-1/8 in.) DIN rail or a flat, vertical surface. Mounting the
unit on a ceiling or in a way that positions the front of the
unit facing down is not recommended.
Although the bracket has two mounting clips, only the
bottom clip snaps inward. The top clip is permanently
locked in the outward position, and it can be used as an
additional hole for screwing the bracket into place. If not
utilized for DIN rail or surface mounting, the top and
bottom clips may be removed from the mounting bracket.
DIN Rail Mounting
To mount the bracket on a DIN rail:
1. Securely mount a 7.5 cm (3 in.) or longer section of
35 mm (1-1/8 in.) DIN rail in the required space.
2. On the bracket, pull the bottom mounting clip outward
to the extended position.

Figure 4: Sample Permanent Mounting, Back-side
Screws
Figure 5: Sample Permanent Mounting, Side Screws
3. Hang the bracket on the DIN rail by the hooks at the
top of the DIN rail channel (on the back of the
bracket), and position the bracket snugly against the
DIN rail.
4. Push the bottom mounting clip inward to secure the
mounting bracket on the DIN rail.
5. Place the MAP Gateway unit in the bracket and
secure it with the locking screw.
Wall Mounting
The bracket may be mounted using screw holes on the
back of the bracket (so that the unit is flat on its back),
using the screw holes on the side of the bracket, or using
the holes in the DIN rail clips. This orientation helps
accommodate on-site constraints. Screw hole locations
are illustrated in Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9.
The screw types needed to mount the unit depend upon
the surface to which the unit is mounted. The screw holes
on the MAP Gateway can accommodate M3.5 and #6
screws.
For information on location considerations for maximizing
signal strength, see the Mounting section.
To mount the bracket on a flat surface (such as a wall):
1. Pull the bottom mounting clip outward to the extended
position.
2. Mark mounting hole locations on the wall using the
dimensions shown in Figure 7, Figure 8, or Figure 9;
or hold the bracket against the wall and mark the hole
locations through the mounting clips.
Note: The position of the location holes depends on
whether the bracket is mounted horizontally
or vertically.
