Chapter 2: Site Survey & Connectivity Test

Prior to installation, please complete and submit the RTU Installation Form via fax (770­685-7913) or email ([e-mail]) so Mission can set up the new unit(s)

on your web portal. New customers must also complete and submit both forms within
the New Customer Packet. The web portal can be accessed with the login credentials

you provided within the Account Setup Form. Once completed and entered by technical

support, alarms can be enabled for your RTU(s) immediately after installation so you can

perform end-to-end testing.

By powering the RTU and testing connectivity before mounting the hardware, you can

optimize the signal strength for years of trouble-free communication. The test only takes

a few minutes since the included battery can provide temporary power. Refer to the
antenna best practices section (chapter 3) when positioning the antenna.

1. Remove the RTU from the box and place it on or near the control panel it will be
monitoring. Remove the antenna cable and antenna whip from the package and

hand-tighten the SMA-M connector to the radio SMA-F connection on the RTU

(see Figure 1).

2. Screw the whip antenna onto the molded antenna base and

place it outside as high as possible. Hand-tighten plus ¼

turn with a wrench. Do not over tighten.

3. Power the RTU with the 12 VDC battery (see Figure 1).
Connect the negative (black) lead to the battery and then
connect the positive (red) lead. LEDs will illuminate in a

sequence (see Figure 1 for LEDs). Once the sequence

is completed, you will hear 3 beeps from the buzzer. This
indicates the unit has connected to Mission servers. If the

RTU does not connect after two attempts, refer to

Appendix D: RTU Boot-up Sequence, Appendix E:

Troubleshooting or call technical support.

4. The signal strength push button is located to the left of the vertical stack, below the

radio (see Figure 1). Press the button once to see the vertical LED stack display
signal strength with the corresponding dBm readings to the right of the LED’s.

Once the button is pressed it will turn off for ~6 seconds then it will show the signal

strength of area. The LED’s will give live reading for two minutes then go back to
operational mode. Press button again to repeat test. You can also check signal
strength by logging into your web portal by visiting www.123mc.mobi on your smart
device. Select “status” page and pick the RTU you are installing then page for signal

strength. A -75dBm signal is better than a -100dBm signal, although it is acceptable.

Chapter 3: Antenna

Installation

Overview

The antenna should be mounted outdoors

and above other objects. By optimizing the

placement of the antenna, you increase the
chances that the radio can communicate
with more than one cell tower. The coaxial
cable should reach the Mission RTU radio
connection with no severe routing of the
coax. Consider where the RTU will be
mounted in relation to the location of the
antenna.

1. Install the antenna cable and antenna

whip. Connect the SMA-M cable connector

to the SMA-F connector on the main board

(see Figure 1). Unscrew the nut from the
molded antenna base. Feed the molded
antenna base through the square cut out
on the bracket. Place the molded antenna

base in the circle cutout.

Secure the molded antenna base

to the bracket with the nut. Hand­tighten the nut, plus ¼ turn with a

wrench. Do not overtighten.

2. Install the mounting bracket. Mount

the Universal Antenna Mount directly on the

face of a at surface or a metal pipe using

the included pipe clamps (placing above
any obstructions).
