Installing your Edge Gateway
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, read the safety and regulatory
information that is shipped with your system. For additional best practices information, go to www.dell.com/

Safety and regulatory information
WARNING: The Edge Gateway must be installed by knowledgeable, skilled persons familiar with local and/or
international electrical codes and regulations.
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 peak-to-peak ripple component is less than 10 percent of the input DC voltage.
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.
WARNING: The system is for installation in a suitable industrial enclosure (provides electrical, mechanical, and
fire hazard protection).
WARNING: The core module only can be wall-mounted (without the need for an additional enclosure).
