2. Installation
2.1 Install Notice
⚫Power requirements: 24VDC (12 to 48VDC), please note the power supply voltage level; rated current
is 0.6A (1.2 to 0.3A).
⚫Environmental requirements: working temperature -25℃～75℃, storage temperature -40℃～85℃,
relative humidity 5%～95% (no condensation). The surface of the equipment may be high temperature,

IG974-Quick-Start-Manual-EN.md

the installation needs to consider the surrounding environment and should be installed in a restricted
area.
⚫Avoid direct sunlight and stay away from heat generating sources or areas with strong electromagnetic
interference.
⚫Gateway products need to be mounted on industrial rails.
⚫Check the availability of cables and connectors required for installation.
2.2 Rail Mounted and Dismounted
2.2.1 Rail mounted equipment
The specific steps for installing the IG902 are as follows.
1. Select the installation position of the device, ensuring that there is sufficient space.
2. Snap the upper part of the DIN rail holder onto the DIN rail and rotate the device with slight force
at the lower end of the device upwards as shown by arrow 2 to snap the DIN rail holder onto the
DIN rail and confirm that the device is reliably mounted onto the DIN rail as shown in the right
figure below.
2.2.2 Rail dismounted equipment
To diamount the IG902, do the following:
1. Press down the device as shown by arrow 1 in the figure below, so that the lower end of the device
is free from the DIN rail.
2. Turn the device in the direction of arrow 2 and move the lower end of the device outward at the
same time, then lift the device upward after the lower end is free from the DIN rail to remove the
device from the DIN rail.

2.3 Wall Mounted and Dismounted
2.3.1 Wall mounted
The specific steps for installing the IG902 are as follows.
1. Select the installation location of the device and make sure there is enough space.
2. Mount the wall mounting plate on the back of the device with a screwdriver, as shown in the figure
below：
3. Remove the screws (packaged with the wall mounting plate), fix the screws in the mounting position
with a screwdriver, and then pull down the device to make the device in a stable state, as shown in the
figure below.
4.
2.3.2 Wall dismounted
To dismount the IG902, hold the device with one hand and remove the screw at the top end of the
device with the other hand to remove the device from the installation position.
2.4 SIM Card installation

IG974-Quick-Start-Manual-EN.md
2023/2/7
9 / 22
IG902 supports dual SIM cards, use a screwdriver to twist off the fixing screw on the card holder cover
and then install the SIM card, as shown below.
2.5 Antenna Installation
Gently turn the movable part of the metal SMAJ interface by hand until it can't be turned (at this time you
can't see the external thread of the antenna connection), don't hold the black rubber sleeve and screw
the antenna. As shown in the picture below.
Description:
IG902 supports dual antennas, which are ANT antenna and AUX antenna. The ANT antenna is the
antenna for sending and receiving data, while the AUX antenna can only enhance the signal strength of
the antenna, and cannot send and receive data independently, so it cannot be used alone.

IG974-Quick-Start-Manual-EN.md
2023/2/7

22
In general, only the ANT antenna can be used, when the signal is not good enough to enhance the signal,
only when using the ANT antenna at the same time use the AUX antenna.
2.6 Power Supply Installation
The specific steps for installing the IG902 power supply are as follows.
1. remove the terminal from the gateway.
2. loosen the locking screw on the terminal.
3. Insert the power cable into the terminal and lock the screw tightly.
2.7 Protective Ground Installation
The specific steps for installing the IG902 protective earth ground are as follows.
1. unscrew the grounding nut.
2. set the grounding ring of the cabinet ground into the grounding stud.
3. tighten the grounding nut.
Note: To improve the overall anti-interference ability of the gateway, the gateway must be grounded when
in use, according to the use of the environment will be grounded to the gateway grounding studs.
2.8 Network Cable Connection
Connect the gateway directly to the PC using a network cable as shown in the following figure.

IG974-Quick-Start-Manual-EN.md

2.9 Terminal Connection
The terminal provides RS232/RS485 two interface modes, you need to connect the corresponding
cable to the terminal before use. When installing, remove the terminal from the device, loosen the
locking screw on the terminal, insert the corresponding cable into the terminal and then lock the screw
tightly. The individual line sequencing is shown in the following figure.
Note: This terminal description only applies to IG902 devices with industrial interfaces.
