WARNING: The Edge Gateway is not designed for use in wet environments. If the Edge Gateway is to be installed in a wet
environment, depending on the location and environment, it must be installed in a panel box or enclosure with an Ingress Protection
(IP) rating of IP54, IP65, or higher.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, power to the DC+ and DC- terminals must be provided by a power supply or
transformer/rectifier circuit that is designed with double-insulation. The power supply or power circuit source must comply with
local codes and regulations; for example, in the USA, NEC Class 2 (SELV/limited energy circuit, or LPS circuitry). If powered by a
battery, double-insulation is not required.
WARNING: When installing the Edge Gateway, the responsible party or integrator shall use the 12-57 VDC or Power over Ethernet
(PoE) power source 37-57 VDC, with a minimum of 13 W power already present as part of the client’s installation.
WARNING: Ensure that the power source providing power to the Edge Gateway is reliably grounded and filtered such that the peakto-peak ripple component is less than 10 percent of the input DC voltage.
3
WARNING: When installing the Edge Gateway 3001 and 3002, use a cable appropriate for the load currents: 3-core cable rated 5 A at
90°C (194°F) minimum, which conform to either IEC 60227 or IEC 60245. The system accepts cables from 0.8 mm to 2 mm. The
maximum operating temperature of the Edge Gateway is 70⁰C (158°F). Do not exceed this maximum temperature while operating the
Edge Gateway inside an enclosure. Internal heating of the Edge Gateway electronics, other electronics, and the lack of ventilation
inside an enclosure can cause the operating temperature of the Edge Gateway to be greater than the outside ambient temperature.
Continuous operation of the Edge Gateway at temperatures greater than 70⁰C (158°F) may result in an increased failure rate and a
reduction of the product life. Ensure that the maximum operating temperature of the Edge Gateway when placed inside an enclosure
is 70⁰C (158°F) or less.
WARNING: Always ensure that the available power source matches the required input power of the Edge Gateway. Check the input
power markings next to power connector(s) before making connections. The 12-57 VDC (1.08-0.23 A) or the PoE power source must
be compliant with local Electrical Codes and Regulations.
WARNING: To ensure the protection provided by the Edge Gateway is not impaired, do not use or install the system in any manner
other than what is specified in this manual.
WARNING: If a battery is included as part of the system or network, the battery must be installed within an appropriate enclosure in
accordance with local fire and electrical codes and laws.
