Note
The device is only approved for operation in closed rooms. Note the following
environmental conditions.
Antennas, in particular directional antennas, must be mounted in keeping with their
characteristics (refer to the technical specifications of the antenna --> Radiation pattern
diagrams).
For the device the following types of installation are permitted:
•
Wall mounting
•
Ceiling mounting
•
Mounting on a DIN rail
•
Mounting on an S7-300 or S7-1500 mounting rail
CAUTION
Danger of injury by falling objects
If the SCALANCE W is subjected to very strong vibration (> 10 g), mounting on a 35 mm
DIN rail does not provide adequate support. Under such conditions, the device can
come out of the mounting and may cause injury.
In this case, install the device on a mounting rail or on a wall.
