Step 2: Installing the gateway

Disclaimer: Make sure that the gateway is placed outside the room or area where the temperature sensor is installed, the room or area should be a non- food and low-humidity zone.

For the installation of the gateway the following products are needed:

• Gateway 
• Ethernet Cable
• 12V Adapter

The gateway can be mounted using different methods. There are two methods:

• Tie wraps
• Screws and plugs

Please follow the steps below to install/mount the gateway and connect it to RmoniWeb:

Connect Gateway (C10 - Internet enabled network) 

1. Before installing the gateway, read this article to ensure internet connectivity.
2. Insert the Ethernet Cable into the network connector on the Gateway. Connect the opposite end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port in a dry and clean place near the cooling units (E.g. chef’s office)
3. Take the 12V adapter and plug it into the power input on the Gateway. Make sure there is a secure connection to a power outlet.

Activation & Setup:

The orange LED at the network connector should remain lit when the Gateway is plugged into a power source and to a patched network outlet.

The green LED (‘’SERVER’’) on the front lid must be lit continuously to indicate that there is a connection to the server. This can take up to 2 minutes.

Place the Gateway in a suitable dry and clean location near the fridges and freezers (E.g. chef’s office). Secure it in place by using one of the following mounting options:

Tie Wraps

1. Position the Gateway at the central location where it can connect to the 12V adapter and Ethernet Cable
2. Secure the Gateway in it’s place by inserting the tie wraps through the mounting points of the Gateway and wrap it tightly to an item (E.g. pipe / rack)

Screws and Plugs (not included in package)

1. Position the Gateway at the central location where it can connect to the 12V adapter and Ethernet Cable
2. Mark the positions for the screws. Drill holes for the plugs, make certain that the size is correct 
3. Align the Gateway with the holes and secure it in place using screws and plugs.
4. Tighten the screws to ensure a stable and secure attachment.

Note: Make sure that the surface is suitable for making adjustments. Rmoni is not responsible for any damages to surfaces that should not be screwed into.

Step 3: Installing the router

Disclaimer:  Make sure that the router is placed outside the room or area where the temperature sensor is installed, the room or area should be a non- food and low-humidity zone. 

Not sure where to place it? Check out this article!

For the installation of the router the following products are needed:

• Router (including mounting bracket)
• 12V Adapter

The router can be mounted with the following items:

• Tie wraps
• Adhesive tape (including VHB surface cleaner)
• Screws and plugs

Please follow the steps below to install/mount the router and connect it to RmoniWeb:

Connect Router (R10):

1. Take the 12V adapter and plug it into the power input on the Router. Make sure there is a secure connection to a power outlet.
2. The blue LED should be lit full. This indicates a successful wireless connection to the gateway.

Router Configuration:

To configure the router to your account, please follow these steps:

1. Navigate to settings in the top-left corner of the App
2. Tap on ‘’Scan QR-code’’
3. Scan the router
4. Fill in the router’s alias (E.g. Router – Central Kitchen)
5. Select the correct organizational unit
6. Register device

Placement:

Place the router in a central position between the gateway and fridgers/coolers. It should be installed near the refrigeration units if there is an outlet. Secure it in place by using one of the following mounting options:

Tie Wraps

1. Position the router at the desired location where it can connect to the 12V adapter
2. Disconnect the mounting bracket from the router
3. Secure the router in it’s place by inserting the tie wraps through the mounting points of the bracket (see photo) and wrap it tightly to an item (E.g. pipe / rack)
