Key Features
Location
The RGX Gateway is suitable for indoor or outdoor use in locations that meet the product's certified uses
and specifications. Indoor operation is suitable only when a unit's GPS location is not needed.
Communication and data security
Instrument–RGX Gateway
LENS™ Wireless (Linked Equipment Network for Safety) is a long-range, power-efficient wireless mesh
network from Industrial Scientific. LENS functionality enables data sharing among wirelessly connected
equipment items—gas-detection instruments and RGX Gateway units—that are set to operate within a
specified LENS group (e.g., Group A). The following also apply.
xTen named LENS groups are available.
xEach group can host up to 25 equipment items.
xMore than one RGX can be included in a LENS group.
Instrument data exchanged through LENS are automatically encrypted with the Industrial Scientific key.
Encryption can also be set to use a customer-supplied key. All equipment items in the group must be set to
the same key.
RGX Gateway–iNet
The RGX can send data it receives from gas-detection instruments to iNet through these transmission
options: wireless local area network (Wi-Fi), cellular, and Ethernet.
The customer sets each transmission option to on or off, allowing the RGX to maximize or to limit the
number of channels through which it can exchange data with iNet. When more than one option is on, the
customer prioritizes the order in which the unit will use them. For example, if Wi-Fi and cellular are on, the
unit can be set to first use Wi-Fi and if that is not available, use cellular.
The RGX–iNet data exchanges are automatically encrypted using the Industrial Scientific encryption key.
Optionally, a customer-supplied key may be used.
Mobility and mounting
The versatile RGX is designed for transportability and for permanent installation. It can be left unmounted
for more mobile applications or mounted for permanent operation.
The RGX features a durable, factory-installed handle, which allows for a unit’s ready relocation from site to
site when mobility is a factor. It can be transported in its optional case, which provides added protection for
the unit, visibility to the unit's operational status indicator, and access to the unit's handle.
Based on the application, the RGX can be surface mounted or mounted to a customer-supplied strut-type
rail installation using the optional Wall Mount Kit. The RGX can also be secured to a metal surface using
the optional Magnet Mount Kit; however, do not use magnet mounts with a unit that will draw power from a
fixed DC power source.

Power
The RGX Gateway offers a variety of operational power options.
xThe RGX can be powered solely by its rechargeable, factory-installed lithium-ion battery. This option is
well suited for short-term use conditions that allow for the unit to be situated, between use cycles, in a
nonhazardous location for charging.
xThe RGX can receive operational power from a compatible, customer-supplied and customer-installed
fixed DC power source. This option is suitable for permanent installations.
xThe RGX can receive operational power from a compatible power-supply accessory only from
Industrial Scientific; use of each accessory requires the RGX be equipped with its Intrinsic Safety (IS)
Cable Adapter. This option is well suited for use conditions that do not require permanent installation,
but demand a run time exceeding that of the factory-installed battery.
xIn a nonhazardous location only, the RGX can draw operational power from its charging power supply.
Interior case access
The unit's interior is accessed by removing four screws from the case lid. To help restrict access, the case
features tabs to accommodate a customer-supplied lock that is suitable for the location.
The unit features two conduit-hub openings, each sealed with a factory-installed plug. The conduit-hub
plugs should not be removed except for permanent installations that will make use of customer-supplied
conduit-hub fixtures as needed for the connection of a compatible fixed DC power source, Ethernet cable,
or both.

Deployment Planning
Introduction
Communications
Settings and Connections
Sample Deployment Plans
Introduction
Whether you are using a single RGX™ Gateway or multiple units, this chapter will help you make decisions
about how each is to operate within your applications. Communications, settings, and wireless connections
are reviewed and illustrations are provided to depict simplified, sample deployment plans.
Communications
When using the RGX, two wireless networks are involved. One network allows the RGX to communicate
with gas-detection instruments. The other network allows the RGX to send instrument data to iNet®, which
supports the live-monitoring capabilities of iNet Now. Both networks are discussed below.
RGX Gateway−instrument communication (LENS Wireless)
The RGX can communicate with gas-detection instruments only when the equipment items are set to
operate in the same named LENS™ Wireless group, and other requirements (settings and connections)
are met. The following apply to or should be decided for deployment planning and setup preparation.
xDecide which named LENS group (e.g. "Group A") the RGX will monitor.
xA LENS group can include up to 25 equipment items, counting gas-detection instruments and RGX
units.
xMore than one RGX unit can be set to monitor a single LENS Group (iNet manages for any duplication
of instrument data sent from multiple RGX units).
RGX Gateway–iNet®communication
The RGX Gateway is set, by the customer, to communicate with iNet using one or more options—Wi-Fi,
cellular, and Ethernet. Your choices may be subject to your company's communication preferences and
security guidelines. If you are not familiar with your company's communication operations, see your network
administrator. For deployment planning and setup preparation, determine the following.
xDecide which of the three communication options a unit will use.

xIf a unit will be set to use more than one communication option, decide the priority order in which they
will be used. For example, if both Wi-Fi and cellular are to be used, a unit can be set to first use Wi-Fi
and if that is not available, use cellular.
xIf a unit will be set to allow Ethernet or Wi-Fi communication, know the "network protocol" connection
type it will use during operation—dynamic (a.k.a., DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or
static. If the protocol is unknown to you, contact your network administrator.
Settings and Connections
The settings itemized below in Table 2.1 are required for iNet Now live monitoring of the equipment items in
a LENS group.

aAll equipment items must be set to the same LENS Wireless group and encryption key.
b"X" is used here to indicate the value will be a single character in length; the available values are the letters A through J.
c"Default" sets the unit's LENS Wireless to the Industrial Scientific encryption key, and "custom" to the customer's key. If a custom key will
be used, some setup is also required in iNet.
You will need to make decisions about the RGX GPS and noncritical data settings.
xDetermine if the unit will operate with its GPS on or off. When on, the unit can acquire its GPS
coordinates and send this location data to iNet. Importantly, the GPS data are used by iNet Now users
to identify the location of an RGX that has sent data from an in-alarm gas detector. Location data are
also useful for tracking units that will be transported among sites. If the unit's GPS will be on, determine
the interval (minutes) at which the unit will send its location data to iNet.
