– The smallest surfaces possible should be sandwiched between potential equalization cables
and signal cables.
If the devices of the control system are connected by shielded signal cables that are earthed on
both sides, the impedance must be 10 % of the shielding impedance.
4.2 Requirements
The Gateway module was designed for use in a control cabinet.
ü
The protection class of the control cabinet must be equivalent to at least IP54.
ü
For installation in the control cabinet you need a DIN rail 35 x 7.5 mm (EN50022).
a) Install the DIN rail horizontally in the control cabinet according to the manufacturers' specifica-
tions. Make sure that the Gateway module has sufficient distance to other devices.
NOTICE
Your gateway could be damaged if temperatures are too high.
a) Make sure that the ambient temperature in the control cabinet is less than 60 °C.
b) Keep the ventilation slots unobstructed. These must not be covered by cables etc.
c) Maintain sufficient distance from other devices.

Distances for installation
b) Connect each gateway component individually to functional earth. Make sure that the power
supplies of both gateway components have the same ground.
ð
Your control cabinet now meets all the requirements for installing the gateway components.
