WARNING
Work in the immediate vicinity of rotating parts
Risk of hand injury!
▷ Always have this work performed by trained personnel.
▷ Take particular caution when performing this work.
CAUTION
Incorrect installation
No data transmission!
▷ Never connect more than 40 transmission and battery units to a
KSBGuardGateway.
One KSBGuardGateway can process the data of up to 40 transmission and battery
units, if they send data once an hour. If data transmission is more frequent, the
number of units per gateway is reduced.
Multi-gateway operation If more than 40 transmission and battery units are to be connected to a
KSBGuardGateway, multi-gateway operation is recommended. For this purpose, a
second KSBGuardGateway has to be fitted within 50m of the first
KSBGuardGateway. Multi-gateway operation is also recommended in the case of
poor wireless connection of individual transmission and battery units.
In general, several KSBGuardGateways can be installed in one area.
Data can be transmitted by Modbus transmission units and by transmission and
battery units in the same network (i.e. to the same KSBGuardGateway).
5.2.1.1 Checking the place of installation of KSBGuardGateway
The place of installation of KSBGuardGateway has to meet the following
requirements:
▪ Sufficient clearance for dismantling
▪ The power supply can be switched off via an external isolating switch.
▪ Flood-proof
▪ The IP enclosure and the temperature range at the place of installation match
the data on the name plate.
▪ Maximum distance between KSBGuardGateway and transmission and battery
unit: 50m (direct line of sight between the transmission and battery unit and the
KSBGuardGateway antenna)
▪ Area between KSBGuardGateway and the transmission and battery unit with as
few obstacles as possible (e.g. concrete walls and steel elements, pipelines).
If possible: Installation with direct line of sight between the transmission and
battery unit and KSBGuardGateway
5.2.1.2 Fastening KSBGuardGateway
NOTE
Fastening KSBGuardGateway at a height of approx. 2 to 3m above the floor is
recommended.
