This document provides instructions for connecting a Sierra Wireless LX40 LTE Router to one of the following
Eaton connectivity cards:
• ndustrial Gateway Card ( NDGW-M2)
• Gigabit ndustrial Gateway X2 Card ( NDGW-X2)
• Gigabit Network (Network-M2)
NOTE The Network-M2 has now reached end-of-life (EOL) status.
PPrreerreeqquuiissiitteess
• Eaton UPS with a NDGW-M2, NDGW-X2, or Network-M2 card loaded with the latest firmware
• Environmental Monitoring Probe Gen 2
• PredictPulse LTE Modem Kit, part number P-154000455
NOTE The router contained in the PredictPulse LTE Modem Kit must be powered by a 120V
electrical outlet powered by the UPS. This ensures that the router is protected during a
power outage. f no UPS-protected outlet is available, a Universal Accessory Power
(UAP) kit is required. The UAP must be installed by an Eaton technician. Contact your
Eaton service representative for a quote.
• USB-to-USB (MicroUSB B)
• CAT5 ethernet cable
• Download the latest card firmware and RND S driver from the Eaton product site:
For the NDGW-M2 card, go to

The hot-swappable NDGW-M2 and NDGW-X2 cards (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) can be installed without
turning off the UPS or disconnecting the load. To install the card:
1. Ensure that the UPS has logic power.
2. Remove the two screws securing the Minislot or X-slot cover and remove the cover from the UPS. Retain
the screws.
3. Remove the NDGW-M2 or NDGW-X2 card from its shipping package.
4. Slide the card into the open slot. Secure with the screws removed in Step 2.
5. Wait for the Warning LED (see Figure 1 or Figure 2) to flash only green to indicate that the card is
operational. The ON LED also flashes green when the card is ready.

2. nstall the EMP as directed in the
Environmental Monitoring Probe Gen2 EMPDT1H1C2 nstallation nstructions.
• Set the MODBUS ADDRESS switches on each EMP as appropriate for your application (see Figure 5).
For example, for an application with one EMP, set the switches as shown in Figure 5, with switch 1
and TER (termination) in the 1position. For a multiple-EMP application, at least one switch must be
set on each EMP in in the daisy-chain and the TER switch set on the last EMP in the daisy-chain.
NOTE f the double-sided tape provided with the EMP is not used to attach the EMP, it may be
used to secure the Sierra Wireless LX40 LTE router (see
