Installing the IXrouter must be done by a professional
Because IXON’s IXrouter is essentially a small computer, the IXrouter can be used for many
different purposes. You can, for example, access, program and control industrial machines
around the globe. Do not use the IXrouter unless you’ve received proper training or have
proper knowledge about the IXrouter and its capabilities. It is expected that the user is
knowledgeable about networking settings and is aware of the potential consequences on
i.e. security.
Install the IXrouter inside a cabinet
The IXrouter is an open device. It is required that you install the device in a housing, cabinet
or electric control room.
Heat, high voltage and electrical noise
When designing the layout of your system, always separate the devices that generate high voltage
and high electrical noise from the low-voltage, logic-type devices such as the IXrouter.
Also consider the heat-generating devices and locate the electronic-type devices in the cooler areas
of your cabinet. Reducing the exposure to a high-temperature environment will extend the
operating life of the IXrouter.
Consider also the routing of the wiring for the devices in the panel. Avoid placing low-voltage signal
wires and communications cables in the same tray with AC power wiring and high-energy, rapidly-
switched DC wiring.
The IXrouter is designed to be cooled using natural convection. For proper cooling, you must provide
a clearance of at least 25 mm above and below the device. Also, allow at least 25 mm of depth
between the front of the device and the inside of the enclosure.
Installation on a DIN rail
The IXrouter can be easily installed on a standard DIN rail. Hang the device
on the rail and push the unit down until you feel a click. To remove the
unit, pull/rotate the device up and off the rail.
