Mounting recommendations
It is possible to place the router:
•
on a flat surface,
•
on a wall using four holes in corners and screws with diameter 3 mm,
•
on DIN rail with the included clip – see chapter
It is recommended to follow these instructions:
•
For whip antennas it is recommended to observe a minimum distance of 6 cm from
cables and metal surfaces on every side in order to avoid interference. When using
an external antenna separate from the switchboard it is necessary to fit a lightening
conductor.
•
When mounting a router on sheet-steel we recommend using a "cable" antenna.
•
For all cables we recommend to bind the bunch, and for this we recommend:
–
The length of the bunch (combination of power supply and data cables) should be a
maximum 1.5 m. If the length of data cables exceeds 1.5 m or if the cable is leading
towards the switchboard, we recommend installing surge protectors.
–
Data cables must not have a reticular tension of
∼
230 V/50 Hz or
∼
120 V/60 Hz.
•
Sufficient space must be left between individual connectors for the handling of cables,
•
To ensure correct functioning of the router we recommend the use of an earth-bonding
distribution frame for the grounding of the power supply of the router, data cables and
antenna within the switchboard.
