Mounting and Installation
4.1
Before mounting the device
This product has been designed for being mounted in vehicles for permanent operation. Due to its
compact size and its wide operating temperature range, it can be mounted in many places. To ensure
fault-free operation and a long product life, however, certain requirements need to be taken into account.
NOTICE!
Proper functioning and electrical safety can only be ensured if the device is
correctly installed.
Make sure that the device is properly installed.
Operate the device only within the specified operation environment.
See datasheet “XCP-Gateway” for further technical information.
The XCP-Gateway is equipped with a GORE
membrane, which is essential for pressure and humidity
control. To ensure reliability and performance of the device, it is essential that the small ventilation inlet
in the rear side of the housing is not blocked or restricted in any way. If the ventilation inlet is blocked,
condensation may dam up inside the housing and cause damage to the device.

Do not block the ventilation inlet (1) in the rear side of the housing when mounting the device.
When choosing the mounting place, make sure that the ventilation hole will not be permanently
immersed in water or any other liquid.
Make sure that the mounting site allows for sufficient space to connect and disconnect the cables
without clamping or pinching them.
