Elexant 9200i
Wireless Communications Interface
Installation Instructions
DESCRIPTION
The nVent RAYCHEM Elexant 9200i is a Wireless Communications Interface that
provides an alternative solution to hardwired Remote Monitoring and
Configuration of Electric Heat Tracing (EHT) systems. It integrates with nVent
RAYCHEM Supervisor software and Electric Heat Trace (EHT) controllers,
helping reduce TIC/TOC of a project.
The Elexant 9200i product line consists of the following:
- Standalone enclosures
- A wireless communications option within a given Control Panel
- External antenna packages
A minimum of two radio transceivers are required to establish a network.
Standalone enclosures can be configured in many ways, enabling the customer
to choose from a range of options:
enclosure material, radio frequency, and antenna type.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Small flat-blade screwdriver (terminal driver), wire strippers and utility knife, and/or wire cutters.
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
Further information pertaining to transceiver hardware and software can be found within associated manufacturer’s documentation.

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF SAFE USE
- The enclosure of the device shall be fitted with a locking mechanism such that it is only accessible with the use of a tool
- To maintain an internal pollution degree 2 environment, after opening the enclosure, make sure there is no visible condensation or dust. Power the device and let it heat up for 5 minutes before closing the enclosure door
- Only install in areas with low risk of mechanical impact
- Enclosure openings must be filled by equipment marked for use in ATEX / UKEx / IECEX Zone 2 areas, and match or exceed the IP rating of the enclosures. General Guide to Cable Entry Positions into Cable Gland or Enclosure Side:
- Maximum hole diameter is major thread diameter of cable gland plus 0.7 mm (.03″)
- Minimum material to be maintained between holes: Glands M16 through M32: 15 mm (0.59″) Glands M35 through M75: 20 mm (0.79″) Glands M75 through M100: 35 mm (1.38″). Prior to making holes in the enclosure wall or gland plate, verify that the selected gland will not interfere with the sealing washer and locknut
- Select a gland for the correct application with the proper certifications. Make certain all cable gland accessories are included for through hole installation. Additional accessories may include locknut and sealing washers
- Install the gland in accordance to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Holes must be located to prevent sealing washer and locknut from interfering with gasket
- Externally mounted antennas and accessories must be suitable for ATEX / UKEx / IECEX Zone 2 areas, and match or exceed the IP rating of the enclosures
- The fuse for incoming power shall be considered user replaceable. Refer to Enclosure Drawing Bill of Materials for the correct Current Rating, Model, and Part Number of the fuse. Prior to replacing the fuse, disable or disconnect from power.
Upon replacing the fuse, remove the fuse plug / housing, replace the fuse per note above, close and re-seat the fuse plug /housing securely
WARNING: Explosion Hazard – Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2 hazardous and nonhazardous locations
WARNING: Explosion Hazard – Do not disconnect equipment unless power has
been switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous
WARNING: Explosion Hazard – To prevent the risk of electrostatic
discharge, only clean the equipment enclosure with a damp cloth
