• Do not mount device beside any other electrical device or antenna
• The ComBox.L device must be vertically mounted, the antenna must be on top
• Before device placement you must observe nearby metal objects and possible RF
interference devices
• The device should be mounted and positioned in a shortest way to the base station
• Do not place the device in a shaft which is too deep under ground
• There are two buttons on the PCB. The
upper left one is MODE (1) and the lower
right one is RST (2) (Reset).The reset
button is used for rebooting the device
and resetting the counters. After the reset
is asserted, the device starts registration
to the network.
5. INSTALLATION
5.1. NOTIFICATION FOR INSTALLATION
5.2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
• PCB contains two battery holders for two AA size batteries. The device is powered by two SAFT
LS14500 3,6V batteries. Observe the battery polarity when inserting the batteries.The positive
pole is on the left side and the negative pole is on the right side, at the spring (Picture 3, 4 and 5).
Picture 1. Device specications
Picture 2. PCB
• On the front side of the ComBox.L
device (Picture 1), you can see the device
manufacturer and its DevEUI address. On
the backside of the device (Picture 1) you
can see device specications.

• Take the supplied cable and attached it to the input of the device. Secure the safety screw
(Picture 6 and 7) to prevent cable disconnection and insure the IP rating of connector.
• Interference with the device interior is permitted only when replacing batteries. Any other
interference with the device is strictly prohibited.
• Batteries are standard AA size batteries, but if you insert 1.5 V alkaline batteries, the device
will not work. Use ONLY SAFT LS14500 batteries.
