Installation
Mounting
The product is fixed with the four fixing points located at the corners of the product. M6 screws are used for the fixation of the product. The screws are tightened with min. 3.0 Nm (fixing screw ISO 898/1, quality class 8.8).
- NOTICE
All four specified fixing points must be used for fixing. The installation surface should be flat to have all fixing points connected to the surface. - NOTE
For indoor installation, consider additional protection against dust to ensure proper heat dissipation. - NOTE
For outdoor installation, consider additional protection against sun radiation, dust and dirt to optimize ambient temperature range. - NOTE
Unused connectors must be covered by a protective cap (delivered with the product), tightened to the specified torque in order to fulfill the specified ingress protection code.
Factory Reset
To reset the product into factory default settings, a reset adapter is needed which is plugged into one of the Ethernet ports X1 or X2 during startup.
Art. no. | Description |
3623-0799 | Factory Reset Plug, X-coded |
Factory reset procedure
- Plug the factory reset adapter to one of the Ethernet interfaces.
- Power the product.
- Wait until factory reset adapter is detected. This is indicated by a solid RED ON LED.
- Remove factory reset adapter within 15 seconds.
- Successful initiation of the factory reset is indicated by blinking RED ON LED.
Earth connection
For correct function, the earth connection at the grounding point needs to be properly connected to a solid ground. An M6 grounding screw at the housing is used for grounding. A short wire with a cross section of at least 4 mm2 shall be used. The grounding wire is set below the rip-lock washer. The nut is fixed for good reliable grounding contact. The tightening torque of the grounding nut should not exceed 10 Nm.
NOTICE
Do not use equipment without protective earth connection.
Connection of Cables
Recommended tightening torque for the M12 connectors is 0.6 Nm. All M12 connections are screw connections. When connecting the power cable, ensure that the pins are connected correctly before tightening the power cable to the unit.
NOTE
This product has no replaceable fuse and should be connected via an external fuse for protection.
Cooling
This product uses convection cooling. Make sure that it is installed so that the ambient temperature is within the specified temperature range, e.g. by avoiding obstruction of the airflow around the product. It is recommended to install the product in areas where the natural convection airflow is not blocked and that there is enough spacing around the product. When operating the product at high ambient temperatures, it is recommended to mount the product to a metallic base plate to improve the heat dissipation. The base plate increases the surface to spread the heat
- NOTICE
Limited air flow is rising the product temperature and may lower the upper limit of the operating temperature range. - NOTICE
Temperature is dependent on the operational parameters, like RF output power, amount of traffic. - NOTICE
This product has integrated temperature sensors for monitoring the internal device temperatures. If temperature limits are exceeded, alarms are sent through the SW interface. - NOTICE
The operating conditions shall be ensured so that the normal operation does not cause temperature alarms. Improve installation conditions or RF parameters in case of any temperature alarms.
Replacement of Product
The device cannot be repaired. In case of a malfunction, it must be replaced. Disconnect all cables and unscrew the product from the wall. Mount the replacement product and reconnect all cables, observing the instructions in Connection of Cables.
MTTR (Mean Time To Repair), i.e. time for replacement of product is: < 10 minutes.
HOT SURFACE
Be aware that the surface of this product may become hot. When it is operated at high temperatures, the external surface may exceed Touch Temperature Limit according to the product’s relevant electrical safety standard.
