Simplifying IoT from edge to enterprise
MACH-3 Installation and Conguration Manual
1. Overview
The MACH-3 Gateway is an Industrial Internet-
of-Things (IIoT) device. It is deployed on
the MACH-3 Edge network, enabling you to
securely collect, analyze, and act on data from
multiple devices and sensors. It enables you
to connect with industrial devices used in the
electric grid, oil & gas, manufacturing, and
other applications. The MACH-3 Gateway has
a low-power architecture, which is capable of
supporting industrial automation workloads
while remaining fan-less for environmental
and reliability requirements.

MACH-3 Installation and Conguration Manual
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.machfu.com/
regulatory_compliance.
WARNING: The MACH-3 Gateway must
be installed by knowledgeable and skilled
personnel familiar with local and/or
international electrical statutes and regulations.
WARNING: The MACH-3 Gateway is not
designed for use in wet environments. If the
MACH-3 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/
rectier 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: Ensure that the power source
providing power to the MACH-3 Gateway is
reliably grounded and ltered such that the
peak-to-peak ripple component is less than 10
percent of the input DC voltage.
WARNING: When installing the MACH-3
Gateway, 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
MACH-3 Gateway is 80°C (176 °F). Do not
exceed this maximum temperature while
operating the MACH-3 Gateway inside an
enclosure. Internal heating of the MACH-3
Gateway electronics, other electronics, and

2. Installing your MACH-3 Gateway
the lack of ventilation inside an enclosure
can cause the operating temperature
of the MACH-3 Gateway to be greater
than the outside ambient temperature.
Continuous operation of the MACH-3
Gateway at temperatures greater than
80°C(176°F) may result in an increased
failure rate and a reduction of the product
life. Ensure that the maximum operating
temperature of the MACH-3Gateway when
placed inside an enclosure is 80°C (176 °F)
or less.
WARNING: The symbol indicates hot surface
or adjacent hot surface that can cause a burn.
Allow equipment to cool or use protective gloves
when handling to reduce risk of a burn.
WARNING: Always ensure that the available
power source matches the required input power
of the MACH-3 Gateway. Check the input power
markings next to power connector(s) before
making connections. The 9-60 VDC power
source must be compliant with local Electrical
Codes and Regulations.
WARNING: To ensure the protection provided
by the MACH-3 Gateway is not impaired, do not
use or install the system in any manner other
than what is specied 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 re and electrical codes and laws.
WARNING: The system is for installation
in a suitable industrial enclosure with tool-
removable cover or door only.
WARNING: The system is for installation in
Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D hazardous
locations or non-hazardous locations only.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT
CONNECT OR DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT
WHEN ENERGIZED. Perform connections or
disconnections to equipment only when not
energized or the area is known to be non-
hazardous.

2.1 Professional
Installation Instructions
2.1.1 Installation Personnel
This product is designed for specic
applications and needs to be installed by
qualied personnel with RF and regulatory-
related knowledge. The general user shall not
attempt to install or change the settings.
2.1.2 Installation Location
The product shall be installed at a location
where the radiating antenna is kept 20 cm
from nearby people in its normal operation
condition in order to meet regulatory RF
exposure requirements.
2.1.3 External Antenna
Use only approved antennae. Non-approved
antennae may produce spurious or excessive
RF transmitting power which may lead to a
violation of FCC/IC limits.
2.2 Gateway Mounting
Options
2.2.1 Bottom Mount
2.2.2 Din-Rail Mount
Note: MACH-3 Din-Rail mounting
option sold separately
2.2.3 Mounting Plate
Note: MACH-3 Mounting Plate option

2.2.3.1 Mounting Instructions
1. Remove the two center screws from
the base plate of the Machfu gateway.
(marked with a red circle in the picture
below.)
2. Align the mounting plate’s counter
screw holes with the center screw
holes on the base plate of the gateway
