Key Features
Location
The RGX Gateway is suitable for indoor or outdoor use in locations that meet the product's
certified uses
and
specifications.
Indoor operation is suitable only when a unit's GPS location is
not
needed.
Communication and data security

RGX Gateway
LENS™ Wireless (Linked Equipment Network for Safety) is a long-range, power-efficient wireless mesh
network from Industrial Scientific. LENS functionality enables data sharing among wirelessly connected
equipment items—gas-detection instruments and RGX Gateway units—that are set to operate within a
specified LENS group (e.g., Group A). The following also apply.
x
Ten named LENS groups are available.
x
Each group can host up to 25 equipment items.
x
More than one RGX can be included in a LENS group.
Instrument data exchanged through LENS are automatically encrypted with the Industrial Scientific key.
Encryption can also be set to use a customer-supplied key. All equipment items in the group must be set to
the same key.

iNet
The RGX can send data it receives from gas-detection instruments to iNet through these transmission
options: wireless local area network (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. For example, if Wi-Fi and cellular are on, the
unit can be set to first use Wi-Fi and if that is not available, use cellular.
The RGX–iNet data exchanges are automatically encrypted using the Industrial Scientific encryption key.
Optionally, a customer-supplied key may be used.
Mobility and mounting
The versatile RGX is designed for transportability and for permanent installation. It can be left unmounted
for more mobile applications or mounted for permanent operation.
The RGX features a durable, factory-installed handle, which allows for a unit’s ready relocation from site to
site when mobility is a factor. It can be transported in its optional case, which provides added protection for
the unit, visibility to the unit's operational status indicator, and access to the unit's handle.
Based on the application, the RGX can be surface mounted or mounted to a customer-supplied strut-type
rail installation using the optional Wall Mount Kit. The RGX can also be secured to a metal surface using
the optional Magnet Mount Kit; however,
do not
use magnet mounts with a unit that will draw power from a
fixed DC power source.
