Installation
Connecting a Remote Antenna
1. Select an installation example that meets the legal requirements and restrictions of the coun-
try of installation. See table "Installation Examples" on page 23
2. Install the components according to the installation diagram. see Figure 3.6 on page 22
3. Install the surge protector according to the instructions given by the manufacturer. If
possible, the surge protector should be grounded directly to keep the ground connection as
short as possible. Note that only a complete protection system according to IEC 62305-1
can protect your equipment and personnel.
4. Protect outdoor connections with weatherproof sealing tape to minimize corrosion and to
improve long-term durability.

Mounting the Gateway
Danger!
Danger to life from electric shock through transients and lightning in outdoor installations
Outdoor installations can be subject to lightning.
■
Install a surge protector to protect the installation against transients or damage caused by
lightning.
■
Refrain from installation and maintenance activities during thunderstorms.
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.
Caution!
Property damage through wrong installation
Wrong installation may impair the function of the WirelessHART network or cause damage to
the WirelessHART gateway.
Ensure that only trained and qualified personnel carry out mounting and installation of the
remote antenna and the related accessories such as cables, surge protectors, and adapters.
Danger!
Explosion hazard from live wiring of non-intrinsically safe circuits
If you connect or disconnect energized non-intrinsically safe circuits in a potentially explosive
atmosphere, sparks can ignite the surrounding atmosphere.
Only connect or disconnect energized non-intrinsically safe circuits in the absence of a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Danger!
Explosion hazard from sparking when using operating elements
Using operating elements in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause sparks that can
ignite the surrounding atmosphere.
Only use operating elements (e.g., switch, slider, button, etc.) in the absence of a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
