IP rating of the enclosure. Warning! Although antennas connected to the Intrinsically Safe RF outputs of the iWAP202 may be installed in Zone 0, Zone 1 or Zone 20 hazardous areas, the iWAP202 enclosure must NOT be installed in these environments. Warning! Do not exceed the RF Threshold Power for the equipment group in which the iWAP202 and its antennas are to be installed;...
Operating Manual 3 Installation and Setting-to-Work 3.1 Installation The IWAP202 is simple to install and can be secured directly to suitable surface using the mounting holes on the Enclosure. 3.1.1 Removing the cover Unscrew the four screws and remove the enclosure lid.
Operating Manual 3.1.2 Power Supply The iWAP202 may only be powered from an IEEE 802.3af POE or IEEE 802.3at POE+ power source. The equipment rating plate identifies which power supply type is required for a specific variant. 3.1.3 Fitting the Cables...

Antennas connected to the iWAP202 Intrinsically Safe RF outputs must be assessed as ‘simple apparatus’ in accordance with IEC 60079-11. Antennas supplied by Extronics for use with the iWAP202 already meet these requirements. It is possible to assess other antennas for this purpose, contact Extronics for details.
Antennas approved by Extronics for use with the iWAP202 may either be fitted directly to the RF connectors of the iWAP202, or via a length of coaxial cable. If antennas are sited remotely from the iWAP202 flameproof enclosure, any metallic parts of the antennas must be isolated from earth by >...
The IWAP202 is not designed to be subjected to excessive stresses e.g. vibration, heat, impact. Additional protection is required to protect against these external stresses. The IWAP202 will require additional protection if it is installed in a location where it may be subjected to damage.
