General Information

Warnings and Cautionary Statements

Compliance

Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data is not guaranteed. Data

may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors), or totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data

are rare when wireless devices such as the TGX™ Gateway are used in a normal manner with a well-

constructed communication network, the user should not rely on the TGX Gateway during situations where

failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party,

including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Industrial Scientific accepts no

responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using

the TGX Gateway or for failure of the TGX Gateway to transmit or receive such data.

Warnings and Cautionary Statements

Table 1.1 Warnings and cautionary statements

Read and understand this Product Manual completely before installing or operating the TGX

Gateway.

If you believe the TGX is not operating correctly, remove it from service and contact Industrial

Scientific.

Do not operate the TGX in areas where blasting is in progress or where explosive atmospheres

may be present.

Do not operate in classified hazardous areas, near medical equipment, near life support

equipment, or near any equipment susceptible to radio interference. The TGX transmits signals

that could interfere with this equipment.

For compliance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), only a trained and qualified

installer must complete the installation.

Install, operate, and service this equipment in accordance with your company’s safety policy and

any local Occupational Health and Safety Standards.

Table 1.1 Warnings and cautionary statements

The TGX Gateway is equipped with various radios that transmit signals. When the power cable is

connected, the TGX may transmit signals. Before connecting the power cable, be sure each

antenna is connected to its respective SMA input on the back of the TGX. Powering the TGX

without these antennas connected could result in damage to the internal transmitting devices,

causing reduced range, communication failures, or both.

The antenna cables carry high frequency signals; handle, install, and operate to prevent injury

and damage to the cable.

For compliance with FCC radio-frequency exposure limits, ensure a minimum distance of 20 cm

(7.87 ″) from each antenna to all persons.

Ensure a minimum distance of 61 cm (24 ″) between the antennas to help prevent Radio

Frequency Interference (RFI) during transmission.

The TGX Gateway antenna modules and their neodymium magnets can cause injury. To avoid

injury, Industrial Scientific recommends the following.

•Persons with a pacemaker or implantable cardio defibrillator (ICD) should maintain a

minimum separation distance of 90 cm (36 ″) between the pacemaker or ICD and the magnet.

Consult your physician or pacemaker or ICD manufacturer for additional guidance and

recommendations.

•Neodymium magnets have a strong attractive force. Each can attract quickly when in close

proximity to another magnet or a metal surface, and cause injury. The magnet material is

brittle; it can crack or splinter on impact to cause injury and potentially become a flying

hazard. Use protective gloves and eyewear to avoid a potentially severe pinch injury, cut, or

splinter.

•Keep magnets away from electronic devices, identification cards, credit cards, and other

items that use microchips, magnets, or magnetic fields.

Connect only compatible antennas specified by Industrial Scientific.

WARNING: Substitution of components may cause an unsafe condition.

The TGX exterior case, internal components, and antennas from Industrial Scientific are not

customer serviceable.

•Do not open the TGX or its antenna enclosures or alter them in any way.

•Do not use extensions with the antenna cables.

•Do not alter the power cable in any way other than to trim the unterminated ends of its wires;

do so only when the power cable input and its wires are not connected.

Do not use the TGX service input, which is for Industrial Scientific use only.

The antenna and power cables must be routed such that they will not be kinked, crushed, or

subjected to repeated bending (e.g., by a vehicle door).

Table 1.1 Warnings and cautionary statements

Ensure each antenna cable is connected to its one-and-only dedicated input. The cables are not

interchangeable.

The TGX requires fused connections to the vehicle battery and the ignition system; direct

connections are not supported.

Ensure each power-cable wire is connected to its one-and-only intended termination point and

ensure each connection’s integrity to avoid fire, damage to the vehicle’s ignition system, or

another unsafe condition or undesired result.

Do not interact with the TGX while driving. In many states and provinces, interacting with such

communications devices while in control of a vehicle constitutes distracted driving and is a

punishable offense.

Compliance

The TGX™ Gateway meets the standards and approvals listed below.
