and Ethernet cable (1m long).<br /> The uRADMonitor device must be powered with a low power 5V supply. An adapter is provided with each uRadMonitor unit. If a longer cable is required, you can use an extension cable like in the first picture below, or a pair of adapters like in the second photo, with the additional wire in between, but make sure to respect the correct polarity, as using the wrong voltage or the wrong polarity can damage your uRADMonitor<br /> <a href="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dc_adapters_s1.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dc_adapters_s1-300x300.jpg" alt="dc_adapters_s" width="300" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-410 img-thumbnail img-responsive" srcset="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dc_adapters_s1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dc_adapters_s1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dc_adapters_s1.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a> <a href="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dc_cable_extension_s1.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dc_cable_extension_s1-300x300.jpg" alt="dc_cable_extension_s" width="300" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-411 img-thumbnail img-responsive" srcset="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dc_cable_extension_s1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dc_cable_extension_s1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dc_cable_extension_s1.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p> <h3>The Network interface</h3> <p>To connect the uRADMonitor to the network and get the radiation readings <a href="https://www.uradmonitor.com" target="_blank">online</a>, you will also need a normal Ethernet cable. Purchase the length you need, or make your own, so you will be able to install uRADMonitor at a convenient location.<br /> Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your home internet router with a permanent Internet connection. The router must have DHCP capabilities, so it would allocate an IP automatically to the uRADMonitor station, allowing it to work. Make sure DHCP is enabled on your router and working properly. After connecting the uRadMonitor to both power and network, check the DHCP Table on your router, to see an IP was allocated to the detector. You can try pinging it, and the uRADMonitor must reply.<br /> Failing this step, will make the measurements unable to reach the server , and you will not see your readings online.<br /> <strong>It is also possible to connect the uRADMonitor unit directly to a WiFi/Wireless network</strong>, see more details <a href="https://www.uradmonitor.com/connecting-uradmonitor-to-a-wireless-network/" target="_blank">here</a>. Just use a WLAN2Ethernet “converter” which is nothing but a little wireless router configured in AP Client mode.</p> <h3>Power over Ethernet</h3> <p>It is convenient to use it, because you will only need a single cable for both the data and the power supply. uRADMonitor can be connected by POE, using a Passive POE adapter, like in the picture below:<br /> <a href="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/uradmonitor_passive_poe_2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/uradmonitor_passive_poe_2.jpg" alt="uradmonitor_passive_poe_2" width="1024" height="683" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3201 img-thumbnail img-responsive" srcset="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/uradmonitor_passive_poe_2.jpg 1024w, https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/uradmonitor_passive_poe_2-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/uradmonitor_passive_poe_2-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a><br /> Alternatively, you can also improvise your own POE configuration, like presented in this <a href="https://www.uradmonitor.com/powering-urad-monitors-via-poe/" target="_blank">article</a>. </p> <h3>Mounting</h3> <p>uRADMonitor must be mounted outside, but not directly exposed to sun, to avoid overheating in warmer areas. A covered spot with some shadow in the free air is ideal (under the balcony, on a wall with protection from the Sun, etc).<br /> The <a href="https://www.uradmonitor.com/model-a-production-ready/" target="_blank">production model A units</a> have a rugged aluminium enclosure that is rainproof when mounted with the cables down. The enclosure has wall mounting brackets, you only need a few screws and installation is done in just a few minutes:<br /> <a href="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/uradmonitor_model_A_2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/uradmonitor_model_A_2.jpg" alt="uradmonitor_model_A_2" width="1024" height="680" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-375 img-thumbnail img-responsive" srcset="https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/uradmonitor_model_A_2.jpg 1024w, https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/uradmonitor_model_A_2-300x199.jpg 300w, https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/uradmonitor_model_A_2-600x398.jpg 600w, https://www.uradmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/uradmonitor_model_A_2-624x414.jpg 624w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a><br /> An external additional protection enclosure can be used, but it is not required. </p> <h3>Best practices</h3> <p>Ideally uRADMonitor should be mounted 1 (one) meter above the gound level. Where possible, try to respect this requirement: In case of nuclear accidents, fallout covering the soil would be properly measured. Even if mounted at higher level, the device will sense the abnormal radiation levels succeeding a major nuclear incident.</p> <h3>Example images</h3> <p>See other installations and get inspired:<br />
