n Choose a clean, dry, easily accessible location indoors.
n If you mount the Conext Gateway on a wall, the recommended height is at eye-
level so that you can clearly see the LED indicators and have easy access to the
data and communication ports.
n All of the ports on the Conext Gateway are accessible from the sides of the device
when mounted on a wall or DIN rail. Clearance of at least 2 inches (50 mm) around
the device is needed to allow for the bending radius of cables that connect to the
Conext Gateway.
n You should not run cables through conduits that can be exposed to lightning
strikes. The following are recommended maximum cable lengths in a Conext
Gateway system:
l 131 feet (40 m) Total Xanbus network
l 328 feet (100 m) Router to Conext Gateway
l 164 feet (50 m) Modbus Master (RS 485) to Conext Gateway
