Power
The RGX Gateway offers a variety of operational power options.
x
The RGX can be powered solely by its rechargeable, factory-installed lithium-ion battery. This option is
well suited for
short-term
use conditions that allow for the unit to be situated, between use cycles, in a
nonhazardous location for charging.
x
The RGX can receive operational power from a compatible, customer-supplied and customer-installed
fixed DC power source. This option is suitable for
permanent
installations.
x
The RGX can receive operational power from a compatible power-supply accessory only from
Industrial Scientific; use of each accessory requires the RGX be equipped with its Intrinsic Safety (IS)
Cable Adapter. This option is well suited for use conditions that do not require permanent installation,
but demand a run time exceeding that of the factory-installed battery.
x
In a nonhazardous location only
, the RGX can draw operational power from its charging power supply.
Interior case access
The unit's interior is accessed by removing four screws from the case lid. To help restrict access, the case
features tabs to accommodate a customer-supplied lock that is suitable for the location.
The unit features two conduit-hub openings, each sealed with a factory-installed plug. The conduit-hub
plugs should
not
be removed except for permanent installations that will make use of customer-supplied
conduit-hub fixtures as needed for the connection of a compatible fixed DC power source, Ethernet cable,
or both.
