1.2 Introduction
The Smart Wireless Gateway connects WirelessHART™ self-organizing networks with host
systems and data applications. Modbus communications over RS-485 or Ethernet LAN provide
universal integration and system interoperability. The optional OPC functionality from the
Gateway offers a means to connect to newer systems and applications while providing a richer
set of data.
The Smart Wireless Gateway provides industry leading security, scalability, and data reliability.
Layered security ensures that the network stays protected. Additional devices can be added at
anytime. There is no need to configure communication paths because the Gateway manages
the network automatically. This feature also ensures that WirelessHART field devices have the
most reliable path to send data.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or
serious injury.

Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.

Verify that the operating atmosphere of the device is consistent with the appropriate
hazardous locations certifications.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.

Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
