General installation guidelines
} The Gateway should be installed in a single mounting area with a protection type of at
least IP54.
} Fit the Gateway to a horizontal mounting rail. The venting slots must face upwards and
downwards. Other mounting positions could destroy the device.
} Use the locking elements on the rear of the unit to attach it to a mounting rail.
} In environments exposed to heavy vibration, the unit should be secured against lateral
movement by using a fixing element (e.g. retaining bracket or end angle).
} The ambient temperature of the devices in the control cabinet must not exceed the fig-
ure stated in the technical details, otherwise air conditioning will be required.
} To comply with EMC requirements, the mounting rail must have a low impedance con-
nection to the control cabinet housing.
} Push the unit upwards or downwards before lifting it from the mounting rail.
} The description below assumes that the mounting rail is already installed.
CAUTION!
Damage due to electrostatic charging!
Electrostatic discharge can damage components. Ensure against discharge
before touching the product, e.g. by touching an earthed, conductive surface
or by wearing an earthed armband.
