Installation 

C.4.1.

 

  

General 

Correct  installation  is  very  important.  The  manufacturer’s  instructions  must  be 
carefully studied and followed. It is good practice to use gloves for handling the pieces 
during installation. 

C.4.2.

 

  

Installation and Service Conditions 

The following standards must be taken into particular consideration during installation and service: 

IEC 60694. 

IEC 61936: Electrical Installation. 

ANSI C37 63: Automatic Sectionalizer. 

All accident prevention regulations in relative countries. 

The wiAutoLink is compatible with the Fuses bases model ICX from ABB, Type XS from SYC, Type C from AB Chance and 

Type L from Cooper. 

 

For special installation requirements or other operating conditions, please contact ABB. 

 

 

When wiAutoLink is installed in presence of mobile radio stations or RF devices operating in the 2.4 GHz band, it is recommend 

that there should be some distance (some meters) between the transmitters and the WiAutolink. 

 

 

 

 

FCC ID: 2ABDQWIAUTOLINK   IC: 11571A-WIAUTOLINK  

 

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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. 

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the responsible party could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 

This device has been designed to operate with the on-board inverted F antenna. No other antennas may be used. 

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 permitted for successful communication. Operating the device with the supplied 
antenna will ensure that this requirement is met.  

A separation distance of 20 cm should be observed to maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines set out in OET 

Bulletin 65.  

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 

(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired 
operation of the device. 

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation 

est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout 
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
