Clipsal® RF Gateway Instruction Bulletin 63249-420-273A3 02/2009 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The RF Gateway can be installed horizontally or vertically. Either installation should allow for access to the Learn button on the base of the unit. If placing the unit horizontally, you may attach the adhesive feet (provided) to the base of the unit to prevent the unit from sliding or scratching the surface. If mounting the device on a wall, use the keyhole cutouts on the base of the unit. These have 1.
63249-420-273A3 02/2009 Clipsal® RF Gateway Instruction Bulletin Network Considerations The RF Gateway can draw 32 mA from the C-Bus network. Determine the total network current load and verify that there will be enough C-Bus power to support all connected devices. Also verify that the amount of available power per C-Bus network is no more than 2A. Network Burden One network burden is required for proper C-Bus operation, network termination, and biasing.

Hardware burden Software Burden The RF Gateway incorporates a software-selectable network burden. To enable a software-selectable burden, first install a hardware burden on the network and then enable the software burden using C-Bus Toolkit software. After the software burden is enabled, remove the hardware burden.
63249-420-273A3 02/2009 Clipsal® RF Gateway Instruction Bulletin Selecting a Location It is important to select the right location to install the RF Gateway. Some considerations are listed below: Provide easy access to unit. Locate RF Gateway where it will not be subject to water, humidity, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Do not cover unit. Only use RF Gateway indoors. Allow adequate ventilation. Ensure the Learn button, located on the base of the unit, can be accessed.
Clipsal® RF Gateway Instruction Bulletin 63249-420-273A3 02/2009 Connecting to a Wired Network To connect the RF Gateway to a C-Bus wired network: 1. Remove the Wired C-Bus Connection Cover. To do so, first uninstall the unit (if it has been mounted on the wall) and position the base of the unit towards you. Push the cover straight up and out. Figure 4: Removing the C-Bus Connection Cover 2.
63249-420-273A3 02/2009 Clipsal® RF Gateway Instruction Bulletin Wiring Guidelines Follow the guidelines below when working with the RF Gateway. Verify that the power supplying the system is turned OFF before handling electrical power conductors. Observe national and local electrical codes. Isolate the RF Gateway from the Class 1 wiring. Consult your national and local electrical codes for requirements about isolating Class 1 wiring and Class 2 wiring terminals.
Clipsal® RF Gateway Instruction Bulletin 63249-420-273A3 02/2009 Connection to the C-Bus Network The C-Bus network is connected to the Clipsal RF Wireless Control System RF Gateway through two polarity sensitive RJ45 inputs located on the RF Gateway. Connect the unit to the C-Bus network with Category 5 unshielded twisted pair C-Bus network cable, and a wired RJ45 plug. Refer to the "Wiring Connections Key Diagram" figure, and the "RJ45 Pin Connections" table for wiring and pin connection information.
