Safety Precautions
Precautions The EVOGate 2.0 with RTU+® Server2 has been designed and tested with US
norms and has left the factory in a safe condition. The present installation manual
contains important information and warnings which have to be followed by the
user to ensure safe operation and to retain the unit in safe condition.
Interventions Any interventions to the EVOGate 2.0 with RTU+® Server2 must be done by
technical service staff only.
Note
+ Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the responsible party
for compliance (EnergyICT®) could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Clock The device contains a real-time clock with 6 day autonomy in case of absence of
power.
WARNING! When activating the Wavenis modem, an RF antenna must already be connected
to the EVOGate 2.0! The absence of an antenna during activation will cause
irreparable damage to the modem.
Consult “Wavenis RF Modem” on page 27 for more information.

Notice on Interference
FCC The EVOGate 2.0 complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules / Industry Canada license-
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Class B digital
device
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Use of radio
frequency
energy
This device generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
Preventing
interference
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
+ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
+ Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver
+ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
+ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Notice on Industry Canada (IC) certification
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter (IC: 9864A-RTUS2WC) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with
the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for
each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the
maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device

About the EVOGate 2.0
Description The EVOGate 2.0 is positioned as the generic ODM Water solution for utility
applications in the United States.
EVOGate 2.0’s main component is the RTU+ Server2 concentrator; which is built
around a core feature set and is provided with a robust casing. The RTU+ Server2
is installed inside the EVOGate 2.0’s IP enclosure resisting easily to any industrial
environment. The RTU+ Server2 also offers unprecedented upstream and
downstream flexibility and splits expensive communication over multiple endpoints,
allowing utilities to optimize the implementation of various AMI technologies.
Main functions
The table below lists the main functions of the RTU+ Server2:
Function Description
Data collection Data is collected and stored per definable interval
period; the device is able to store a virtually unlimited
amount of data, depending on its memory capacity. For
more information on memory capacity, see “Technical
Specifications” on page 10.
Pulse data is collected via the digital inputs and meter
data is collected via the standard serial interface or via
an optional communication interface.
Data transfer The RTU+ Server2 can transfer data to EnergyICT’s
advanced EIServer meter data management solution
using the EIWebp+ push protocol, via its Ethernet
ports, or via an optional communication interface.
Fixed network
management and
remote monitoring
The RTU+ Server2 has embedded network
management capability and serves as master
concentrator in a
Wavenis
RF network, with multiple
Wavenis endpoints acting as slaves. For more
information, see “Wavenis RF Modem” on page 27.

Power Supply Wiring Safety Guidelines
Securing the
device
The RTU+Server2 concentrator is internally protected by fuse resistors. Power
rating: 2W. Fuse type : Welwyn Components ULW2-100RJA25
Wiring The following additional guidelines must be taken into account:
+ The unit must have a permanent connection to fixed wiring
+ The power supply must be connected to the power connector of the RTU+
Server2 by means of solid wiring.
Cables The concentrator was designed and tested to operate safely in an industrial and
residential environment. However, you must take care to use one of two options:
+ Shielded network cables (FTP cables)
+ Unshielded network cables (UTP cables)
Power
specifications
Power specifications are located on label B and label F, as mentioned under the
labels section on page 14 and 16.
Mounting the
IP Enclosure
The IP enclosure can be mounted directly on the walls. The seals and caps supplied as
standard with the enclosure guarantee that it maintains its degree of protection and
insulation.
There are 3 options:
• Wall-fixing lugs
• Post-fixing device
• Blanking Plates
Important!
Included in the EVOGate 2.0 package is a document which describes these options.
However, none of these options are part of the EVOGate package and need to be
purchased from Schneider. Please refer to the Schneider website to purchase these
options.

Double Ethernet Connection
Description The RTU+ Server2 uses the Ethernet 10/100 Base-T standard. Every unit features
2 standard Ethernet ports, as depicted below, and can be connected to a LAN
network using standard straight-through LAN RJ-45 connectors. Link Integrity and
Rx indication LEDs are located on the connector.
To make a direct connection to a PC, a crossover LAN cable should be used.
Double USB 2.0 Host Connection
Description The RTU+ Server2 uses the USB 2.0 standard. Every unit features 2 standard USB
interfaces, as depicted below, next to the Ethernet ports. Both connections can, for
example, be used to connect keyboards and memory sticks for software updates.
IMPORTANT USB ports may exclusively be used for service purposes.
A maximum of 50 mA is allowed.
USB devices must be removed during normal operation.
27 / 29
GSM/GPRS Modem
Description
This card equips the RTU+ Server2 with a high tech GSM/GPRS modem. This
allows collected data to be transmitted over the Internet without a need for a fixed
connection.
Note
+ The advanced GSM/GPRS EDGE modem is available on request: this
technology offers increased data transmission speeds and is supported by all
major providers.
Installation
In order to function, the GSM/GPRS modem requires a SIM-card.
This SIM-card has to be placed inside a SIM-card holder A and placed inside B on
the modem itself, before switching on the RTU+ Server2. Next, the GSM-antenna
has to be screwed into C. Press D to eject the SIM-card holder.

Wavenis RF Modem
Description
This module empowers the RTU+ Server2 to serve as master in a Wavenis RF
network.
Wavenis is an integrated wireless communication application capable of high
performance network management and 2-way endpoint monitoring, remote data
collection and scheduled polling.
Communication management for extended networks is achieved via smart
gateways, repeaters and end-points.
Stored data is uploaded to EIServer via EnergyICT’s proprietary EIWeb+ protocol.
The RF module is embedded at the factory.
Important!:
• The Wavenis RF antenna and coax cable need to be ordered separately!
EnergyICT recommends the Antenex FG9026 as this was used for the
FCC / IC tests.
• When activating the Wavenis modem, an RF antenna must already be
connected to the EVOGate 2.0! The absence of an antenna during activation
will cause irreparable damage to the modem.
Consult the Appendix for more information.
