Mounting the Gateway
1. Drill 2 holes into the mounting surface so that they match the holes of the enclosure.
2. Screw the device to the mounting surface using M6 screws.

Preparing Ethernet Connection
The WirelessHART gateway is equipped with a galvanically isolated Ethernet interface. Note
that the maximum length of the cable running from the WirelessHART gateway to the Ethernet
access point is 100 m or less, depending on the cable type and transfer rate. Ensure sufficient
relief of tension on the cables during installation and note the minimum bending radii of the
cables.
Wiring the Ethernet Interface
1. Unscrew the 4 screws of the enclosure cover and remove the cover.
2. Route the Ethernet cable through the cable gland in the middle of the enclosure of the
WirelessHART gateway. The permissible cable diameter lies between 6 ... 10 mm.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet terminal block. Depending on the Ethernet
access point, use straight-through or crossover wiring.

Danger!
Explosion hazard from connection or disconnection activities
Connection and disconnection of cables or antennas may cause a spark that can ignite a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Connect or disconnect cables or antennas only in the absence of a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
