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!
