Mounting the Gateway

Danger!
Electrostatic discharge hazard
The device contains non-conductive plastic parts. Care must be taken when operating the
installed device because of possible electrostatic charges. Electrostatic charged surfaces
may cause an ignition spark.
Electrostatic charges must be avoided. For example, do not rub the device and never clean
plastic surfaces with a dry cloth. Always use a damp cloth instead.
Danger!
Check cable glands
The IP degree of protection can not be ensured if the cables and cable glands are not fitted
correctly.
To ensure the IP degree of protection
• all screws of the housing / housing cover must have been tightened with the appropriate
torque,
• only cables of the appropriate size must be used in the cable glands,
• all cable glands must be tightened with the appropriate torque,
• all seals must be undamaged and fitted correctly,
• all empty cable glands must be sealed with appropriate plugs.
The mounting location should be well accessible for mounting and electrical installation.
Make sure that there is enough space to open the housing cover and to access the
terminals, switches, and cable glands. Choose a mounting location that meets the
requirements of the climatic limits specified in the technical data.
The housing has a degree of protection of IP65 and is designed for wall mounting
(mounting accessories and tools not included).
