1.8 Safety precautions
DANGER —HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES
WARNING - These installation/servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only.
To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the
operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
WARNING –Mains protection
WARNING - The DINgate module must always be protected by fuses on the incoming side. To
enable maintenance DINgate module, it is recommended to install a short circuit protection.
Do not operate the equipment other than indicated by the technical data.
Always adhere to the following checklist:
1. Only qualified personnel or licensed electricians should install the Xemex DINgate TM. The mains voltages of
230 Vac can be lethal!
2. Follow all applicable local and national electrical and safety codes.
3. Install the device in an electrical enclosure (panel or junction box) or in a limited access electrical room.
4. Verify that circuit voltages and currents are within the proper range for the DINgate module.
5. Ensure that the DINgate is placed behind fuses or circuit breakers.
6. Equipment must be disconnected from the HAZARDOUS LIVE voltages before access.
7. Before applying power, check that all the wires are securely installed by tugging on each wire.
8. Do not install the DINgate module where it may be exposed to temperatures below –20°C or above 70°C,
excessive moisture, dust, salt spray, or other contamination. The device requires an environment no worse
than pollution degree 2 (normally only non-conductive pollution; occasionally, a temporary conductivity
caused by condensation must be expected).
9. Do not drill mounting holes in the device. Click the module on a DIN Rail instead.
10. If the DINgate device is installed incorrectly, the safety protections may be impaired.

2Technical description
The Xemex DINgate TM device is a communication gateway with a 2-wire RS485 interface. An optical interface can
be used for configuration purposes.
It has following interfaces:
•Main power connection 230V
•2-wire RS485 Communication Interface
•Optical Interface (IR)
•User Interface - LEDs
•SIM card slot (for 2FF SIMs)
•LTE antenna connection (SMA)
The DINgate TM gateway module is able to setup a transparent IP link between a server application and an RS485

4Installation instructions
4.1 Guidelines for safety and installation
This installation guide must be consulted in all cases when manipulating parts which are marked
with the Caution symbol.
The installation and the operation of this device and any maintenance must be carried out by a
qualified person in accordance with specific local standards and safety regulations.
Caution: never open the secondary circuit of a Current Transformer while current is flowing
through the primary circuit!
If the secondary circuit is opened when primary current is flowing, then the voltage will go to a very
high value, possibly causing electrical arcing and/or electrical shock to service personnel. Therefore
CT’s with internal TVS must be used.
Failing to obey the ”Guidelines for safety and installation”, the guarantee no longer applies.
4.2 Mounting
Mount the device in a DIN rail cabinet.
4.3 Electrical wiring diagram
WARNING
The DINgate TM module power connection always needs to be protected with a circuit
breaker.

5.4 Basic configuration parameters

User Manual - DINgate TM
26 October 2021 XEMEX Confidential Page 19 of 20
6Operating instructions
The DINgate TM module can setup a remote IP link to a connected RS485 device.
The IR supports the industry-standard protocol DLMS-COSEM for configuration purposes. This protocol implements
the SMR5 application layer.
The DINgate module gives visual feedback on its working state by its 2 Status LED Indicators:
6.1 PWR –POWER Status LED –Red LED
•Not lit: DINgate module is not powered
•Blinking: DINgate module is powered, but not (yet) able to readout the connected RS485 device
•Lit: DINgate module is powered, and has readout the connected RS485 device
6.2 WAN –Network Status LED –Green LED
•Not lit: The DINgate module is not connected to a radio network.
This may have one of the following causes
-No or wrong SIM card (disabled)
-No network coverage
-Modem is defect
•Blinking: The DINgate module is registered to the radio network
No end to end data session with the head-end system can be established.
•Lit: The DINgate module is registered to the radio network and a PDP context was established.
This means the module got an IP address from the network and the head-end system is
able to establish a data connection with the module.
The nominal state of the network status LED is ‘LED Lit’
This means the module can always be reached on its IP address by the head-end system.
6.3 Service button
For future use.
