IMPORTANT: Fully charge the RGX™ Gateway before its first use. IMPORTANT: Only charge the RGX Gateway battery at an ambient temperature range of 5 − 45°C (41 − 113°F). IMPORTANT: Turn off all external power to the RGX Gateway before servicing the unit.
The RGX Gateway's optional Magnet Mount Kit and individual kit items can cause injury. To avoid injury, Industrial Scientific recommends the following.

As shown below, the RGX™ Gateway (RGX) facilitates data exchange between compatible, enabled Industrial Scientific gas-detection instruments and iNet®. The exchanged data are used to support the live- monitoring capabilities of iNet Now. From a computer or smart-device, iNet Now users can learn, on a live basis, about everything from instrument gas readings to gas alarms, man-down events, panic alarms, and more.
(Wi-Fi), cellular, and Ethernet. The customer sets each transmission option to on or off, allowing the RGX to maximize or to limit the number of channels through which it can exchange data with iNet. When more than one option is on, the customer prioritizes the order in which the unit will use them.
The RGX can receive operational power from a compatible power-supply accessory only from Industrial Scientific; use of each accessory requires the RGX be equipped with its Intrinsic Safety (IS) Cable Adapter. This option is well suited for use conditions that do not require permanent installation, but demand a run time exceeding that of the factory-installed battery.
18109575 (adapter) When used with the RGX Gateway, ensure a distance of 5 m (16 ' 4 ″) between the RGX and its power-supply accessory from Industrial Scientific, or any that are in use nearby. Where X indicates regional power-cord type (1 for NA, 2 for EU, 3 for AU, and 4 for UK).

For use with customer-supplied, customer-installed fixed DC power that supplies a compatible input voltage range of 9–30 VDC with a maximum current of 5A and is connected to the dedicated ports on the RGX terminal block. When the factory reset button is pressed and held for approximately 20 seconds, the unit’s settings will revert to the original factory-setting values.
A LENS group can include up to 25 equipment items, counting gas-detection instruments and RGX units. More than one RGX unit can be set to monitor a single LENS Group (iNet manages for any duplication of instrument data sent from multiple RGX units).
"X" is used here to indicate the value will be a single character in length; the available values are the letters A through J. "Default" sets the unit's LENS Wireless to the Industrial Scientific encryption key, and "custom" to the customer's key. If a custom key will be used, some setup is also required in iNet.
Figure 2.1D). Figures 2.1.B and 2.1.D each feature one equipment item that is not within the range required for a LENS Wireless connection, so its data are not reaching the RGX, iNet, or users of iNet Now for live-monitoring purposes.
