Detailed information can be found in the following documentation:
lConnection Cables for Operating Devices
lTechnical Manual HGW
lTechnical Manual BWH
lHGW IP Configurator.xlsx (= Configuration file)
lSafety System Handbook
This and additional documents can be downloaded from our website or obtained through

4.1 BWH
lUnpack the BWH
lThe antenna are pre-mounted and must tightened by hand. Otherwise unpack the
antenna mount them and screw them down hand-tight. For SMA connectors, a special
torque wrench with a maximum of 1 Nm is recommended.
lConnect the cable (available as an accessory) to X1: M12 Y-coded (right lower socket)

HGW-BWH CONFIGURATION
lConnect the open end of the cable to the +24 V supply.
Wire color Function
blue VCC/+24 V
black GND
lThe LEDs on the BWH begin to light as soon as it is powered. The base station is now
active.
The next steps are described in chapter 5 Software Configuration.
4.2 HGW
lUnpack the HGW
lThe antenna are pre-mounted and must tightened by hand. Otherwise unpack the
antenna mount them and screw them down hand-tight. For SMA connectors, a special
torque wrench with a maximum of 1 Nm is recommended.

CONFIGURATION HGW-BWH
lRemove the protective cap from the rear magnet connector.
lMount the HGW onto the active base station and wait for at least 5 seconds. During
this time, battery data is exchanged and the battery is calibrated. To avoid interrupting
this process, wait until the specified time has elapsed before removing the HGW from
the base station. The transport mode is hereby ended.

HGW-BWH CONFIGURATION
lIf the HGW is charging, the On button blinks in the charging rhythm.
lAfter at least 5 seconds, the HGW can be turned on with a press of the On/off button.
lThe HGW starts.

HGW-BWH CONFIGURATION
5 Software Configuration
5.1 Create Connection to the Device
There are several options with which to connect the device via LASAL CLASS. In this
document, the quickest method is described.
INFORMATION
Alternative connection and configuration options, as well as additional
information can be found in the following document: WLAN-Configuration
5.1.1 USB Cable
SIGMATEK uses USB-C sockets in the HGW and BWH product series. Connect an
appropriate USB cable with the device to configure (HGW/BWH) and your computer.
INFORMATION
Under some circumstances, it may be necessary to install the required
USB drivers for the SIGMATEK devices. If needed, contact SIGMATEK
support.
After successful configuration, a new device is found in the device manager is found under
“Connections” (COM & LPT) with label “Sigmatek PLC (COMx)”. The port number assigned
depends on your system.
5.1.2 Network Cable
As a second option, it is also possible connect with the device using a network cable.
5.1.3 WLAN Access Point
The PC can also be connected with the device (BWH, HGW) via WLAN.
On the PC, select the WLAN network with the corresponding SSID/serial number.
For more help, follow the steps in “WLAN Configuration”.

CONFIGURATION HGW-BWH
5.5.1 BWH Configuration
Create the network configuration using the HGW IP Configurator.xlsx.
17.05.2022 Page 17

HGW-BWH CONFIGURATION
Normally, the suggested configuration can be used unchanged for a quick initial start-up. Only
the serial number of your device (BWH, HGW) has to be entered. This is required since many
settings, such as SSIDs are matched to it.
Connect the BWH with the computer via USB. After the template has been automatically
created in the solution, open the BWH in the Station View (+) and with a double click on
MachineControl LASAL CLASS 2.
Next, check the connection and if needed configure it as follows.
