2 Preparations before Installation
2.1 Safety Precautions
The gateway acts as the critical transfer station of network connections, and its normal service is crucial to the normal
operation of the entire network.
The following safety suggestions are applicable to the installation and use of the gateway:
Do not place the device in a watery place and prevent any liquid from entering into it.
Keep the device away from heat sources.
Ensure the normal grounding of device.
Wear an anti-static wrist strap to install and maintain the device.
Do not wear loose clothes to avoid hooking any parts. Before operation, tighten your band, shawl and sleeves.
Keep tools and parts away from the walkway to avoid damage.
Use the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to avoid power failure and other interferences.
If the system time is incorrect, check whether you have set the clock. If the clock is not set, the time may not be
correct; if the clock has been set precisely and the time is still incorrect, the built-in button cell of device may have ran
out, which is typically happened after 10-year service.
Install the power outlet close to the device in order to turn off the power quickly.
Use of wrong battery may cause damage to the device. Do not replace the battery by yourself. Please contact the
Technical Assistance Center of Ruijie Networks for help.
This is a Class-Aproduct which may cause radio interference in the living environment. In such a case, the user may
need to take feasible measures against such interference.
Install and use the device in restricted access locations.
Invite professionals and related technicians to install this type of device.
Where a plug on the power supply cord is used as the disconnect device, the installation instructions shall state that
for pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be easily accessible. For pluggable equipment intended for
installation by an ordinary person, the installation instructions shall be made available to the ordinary person.
“Do not ingest battery, Chemical Burn Hazard”
This product contains a coin / button cell battery. If the coin / button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe
internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death.
Keep new and used batteries away from children.
If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.
If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical
attention.

2.2 Requirements on Installation Environment
Ruijie RG-EG3230 gateway products are for indoor use only. To ensure normal operation and prolong their service life, the
installation site must meet the following requirements:
Temperature/humidity requirements
Cleanliness requirements
Anti-static requirements
Anti-interference requirements
Lightning protection requirements
Checking the installation location
2.2.1 Temperature/Humidity Requirements
To ensure normal operation and prolong the service life of the device, the equipment room must maintain constant
temperature and humidity. If the equipment room is overheated for a long time, the insulation materials may result in
defective insulation and even electric leakage. If the relative humidity is low, the insulation spacer may result in dry
shrinkage, which will make screws looser and easily generate static electricity in the dry environment, thus damaging the
interior circuits on the device. Excessively high temperature will accelerate the aging of insulation materials and
compromise the reliability and even service life of the device. The temperature/humidity requirements are shown below
(detailed difference between products is described in the chapter of "Product Overview"):
Table 2-1 Temperature and Humidity Requirements of Ruijie RG-EG3230 Gateways
Temperature
Relative Humidity
0ºC to 45ºC/ 32ºF to 113ºF
10% to 90%
The working temperature/humidity indicates the value measured at 1.5 m above the floor and 0.4 m ahead of the
equipment frame when there is no protection plate on the front and rear side of the equipment frame.
2.2.2 Cleanliness Requirements
The dust is also a major threat to the safe operation of device. The dust accumulated on the device may cause
electrostatic adsorption and result in poor contact. It will not only compromise the service life of device but also cause
communication failure. When the indoor relative humidity is low, such electrostatic adsorption will incur more easily.

Maximum Density (Particles/m3)

Apart from the dust, the device is also sensitive to the hydrochloric acid sulfide contained in the air. These noxious gases
will accelerate metal wastage and the aging of certain parts. The upper limits of noxious gases (Sulfur dioxide, Sulfured
hydrogen, Nitrogen dioxide, Ammonia and Chlorine) in the equipment room are shown in Table 2-3:

2.2.3 Anti-Static Requirements
The gateway has already given consideration to electrostatic prevention during circuit design, but excessively strong static
electricity will still damage the circuit board. The static electricity in the communication network connected with the device
is mainly from:
Outdoor high-voltage transmission line, lightning and other exterior electric fields.
Indoor environment, flooring material, complete appliance structure and other in-house systems.
To avoid the damage caused by static electricity, we shall:
Properly ground the device and floor;
Apply indoor dust control;
Maintain proper temperature and humidity;
Pay attention to the following for modules or circuit boards which can be disassembled by the user:
Before touching the circuit board, wear an anti-static wrist strap and an anti-static uniform;
Place the circuit board disassembled face up on the antistatic workbench or in the electromagnetic shielded bag.
When observing or transferring the circuit board of gateway, touch the outer edge of circuit board and avoid direct
contact with the components on the circuit board.
2.2.4 Anti-Interference Requirements
The interference as mentioned herein refers to electromagnetic or electrical interference, and the anti-interference
requirements are described below:
Effective power grid interference control measures shall be taken against the power supply system.
The working ground of the gateway shall be kept far away from the grounding device or lightning grounding device of
power equipment instead of sharing.
The gateway shall be kept far away from high-power radio-transmitting station, radar-transmitting station and other
high-frequency & heavy-current devices.
Electromagnetic shielding measures shall be taken whenever necessary.
2.2.5 Checking the Installation Location
No matter the gateway is installed in the cabinet or on the workbench, the following requirements shall be met:
Make sure sufficient room has been reserved for the air intake and air vent of gateway to facilitate the heat
elimination of the gateway chassis. It is recommended to install the gateway in the 19-inch standard cabinet.
Otherwise, install it on a clean and flat surface. In heated areas, the air conditioning system shall be equipped.

Ruijie RG-EG3230 Gateway Hardware Installation and Reference Guide
Make sure the cabinet and workbench is equipped with a good ventilation and cooling system.
Make sure the cabinet and workbench is steady enough and capable of withstanding the weight of the gateway and
its accessories.
Make sure the cabinet and workbench is properly grounded.
