Introduction 

Congratulations on your purchase of the ICC XLTR-1000 Multiprotocol RS-485 

Communications Gateway. This gateway allows information to be transferred 

seamlessly between various RS-485-based networks. In addition to the 

supported fieldbus protocols, the gateway hosts a USB interface for configuring 

the gateway via a PC. 

 

Before using the gateway, please familiarize yourself with the product and be 

sure to thoroughly read the instructions and precautions contained in this 

manual. In addition, please make sure that this instruction manual is delivered to 

the end user of the gateway, and keep this instruction manual in a safe place for 

future reference or unit inspection. 

 

For the latest information, support software and firmware releases, please visit 

http://www.iccdesigns.com. 

 

Before continuing, please take a moment to ensure that you have received all 

materials shipped with your kit. These items are: 

  XLTR-1000 Gateway in plastic housing 

  Documentation CD-ROM 

  DIN rail adapter with two pre-mounted screws 

  Four black rubber feet 

  USB cable 

 

Note that different gateway firmware versions may provide varying levels of 

support for the various protocols. For optimal performance, always ensure that 

you are using the latest version of the ICC Configuration Studio and included 

firmware. 

 

This manual will primarily be concerned with the gateway’s hardware 

specifications, installation, wiring, configuration and operational characteristics. 

 

To maximize the abilities of your new gateway, a working familiarity with this 

manual will be required. This manual has been prepared for the gateway 

installer, user, and maintenance personnel. With this in mind, use this manual to 

develop a system familiarity before attempting to install or operate the gateway.
