SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

! WARNING

Follow carefully this safety and installation instructions.
Improper work may lead to serious harmful for your health
and also may damage seriously the IntesisBox and/or any
other equipment connected to it.

IntesisBox must be installed by accredited electrician or similar
technical personnel, following all the safety instructions given here and
in accordance always with the country legislation for installation of
electric equipment.

IntesisBox cannot be installed outdoors or exposed to direct solar
radiation, water, high relative humidity or dust.

IntesisBox must only be installed in a restricted access location.
In case of wall mount, fix firmly IntesisBox on a not vibrating surface

following the instructions next.
In case of DIN rail mount fix IntesisBox properly to the DIN rail following

the instructions below.
Mounting on DIN rail inside a metallic cabinet properly connected to

earth is recommended.
Disconnect always power of any wires before manipulating and

connecting them to IntesisBox.
A power supply with an NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS)

and SELV rated is to be used.
Respect always the expected polarity of power and communication

cables when connecting them to IntesisBox.
Supply always a correct voltage to power IntesisBox, see details of

voltage range admitted by the device in the technical characteristics
below.

CAUTION: Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type.
Dispose of Used Batteries according to the instructions. Battery
replacement shall be done by an authorized installer.

CAUTION: The device is to be connected only to networks without
routing to the outside plant, all communication ports are considered for
indoor only.

This device was designed for installation in an enclosure. To avoid
electrostatic discharge to the unit in environments with static levels
above 4 kV, precautions should be taken when the device is mounted
outside an enclosure. When working in an enclosure (ex. making
adjustments, setting switches etc.) typical anti-static precautions
should be observed before touching the unit.

INSTALLATION

Follow instructions next to properly install the gateway.

Disconnect from mains the power supply before connecting it to
IntesisBox.

Disconnect power of any bus or communication cable before
connecting it to IntesisBox.

Mount IntesisBox on the wall or DIN rail following the instruction given
below, respecting the safety instructions given above.

Connect a NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and SELV
rated power supply to IntesisBox, respect the polarity if DC power or
Line and Neutral if AC power. Apply always a voltage within the range
admitted by IntesisBox and of enough power (see technical
characteristics).

Circuit-breaker must be used before the power supply. Rating 250V­6A.

Connect the communication cables to IntesisBox, see details on the
user's manual.

Power IntesisBox and the rest of devices connected to it.

Wall Mount

1. Separate the fixing clips in the bottom of the box, pushing
them to the outside until hear the "click" which indicates that
now the clips are in position for wall mount, see in the figure
below.

2. Use the holes of the clips to fix the box in the wall using
screws. Use the template below for the wall wholes.

Clips in their original position Clips in position for wall mount

(for DIN rail mount)

DIN Rail Mount

With the clips of the box in their original position, insert first the box
in the upper edge of the DIN rail and later insert the box in the
down part of the rail, using a small screwdriver and following the
steps in the figure below.

Owner’s Record

The model and serial numbers are located on the rear
of the gateway. Record these numbers in the space
provided below. Refer to them whenever you contact
upon your gateway dealer or support team regarding
this product.

Model No.

Serial No.

CONFIGURATION

Use the Configuration Tool to configure the gateway.
See instructions to download and install the latest version at:

http://intesisbox.com/intesis/software/intesisbox_maps_installer.exe

Use the Ethernet connection or the Console Port (mini USB type B
connector included) to get communication between the gateway and
the configuration tool.

Follow the instructions of the user's manual for more details.

CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL & MECHANICAL FEATURES

Power Supply
Must use NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and SELV rated power supply.

If using DC power supply:

Respect polarity applied of terminals (+) and (-). Be sure the voltage applied is within the range
admitted (check table below). The power supply can be connected to earth but only through the
negative terminal, never through the positive terminal.

If using AC power supply:

Make sure the voltage applied is of the value admitted (24 Vac). Do not connect any of the terminals
of the AC power supply to earth, and make sure the same power supply is not supplying any other
device.

Ethernet / Modbus TCP / Console (UDP & TCP)

Connect the cable coming from the IP network to the connector ETH of the gateway. Use an Ethernet
CAT5 cable. If communicating through the LAN of the building, contact the network administrator and
make sure traffic on the port used is allowed through all the LAN path (check the gateway user manual
for more information). DHCP is enabled by default. When disabled, default IP is 192.168.100.246.

PortA / DALI

Connect the DALI bus to connectors A4 (+), A3 (-) of gateway’s PortA. IntesisBox provides 16VDC (+/­2%) DALI voltage to the bus.

PortB / Modbus RTU

Connect the EIA485 bus to connectors B1 (-), B2 (+) and B3 (SNGD) of gateway’s PortB. Respect the
polarity. Remember the characteristics of the standard EIA485 bus: maximum distance of 1200 meters,
maximum 32 devices connected to the bus, and in each end of the bus it must be a termination resistor
of 120 Ω. The gateway has an internal bus biasing circuit that incorporates the termination resistor. If
you install the gateway in one of the ends of the bus, then do not install an additional termination resistor
in that end.

Connect the serial cable EIA232 coming from the external serial device to the EIA232 connector of
gateway’s PortB. This is a DB9 male (DTE) connector in which only the lines TX, RX and GND are used.
Details of the pinout can be seen in the user's manual. Respect the maximum distance of 15 meters.

Console Port
Connect a mini-type B USB cable from your computer to the gateway to allow communication between
the Configuration Software and the gateway. Remember that Ethernet connection is also allowed. Check
the user manual for more information.

USB

Connect a USB storage device (not a HDD) if required. Check the user manual for more information.
