    3. ROUTER DESCRIPTION 3. Router Description 3.1 Description The SPECTRE Cellular and Etherent industrial routers are used to wirelessly connect Eth- ernet equipment and other devices to the Internet or intranet. Thanks to the high data transfer speed of up to 100 Mbit/s download (LTE models) and 50 Mbit/s upload (LTE models), it is an ideal wireless solution for traffic and security camera systems, individual computers, LAN net- works, automatic teller machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals.

  • Page 15: Mounting Recommendations

    4. MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS 4. Mounting Recommendations The router may be placed on a work surface. Clips are included for mounting the router on a standard DIN rail. The router may be installed in an industrial instrument panel. For best performance, please consider the following guidelines: When using the supplied whip antennas, maintain a distance of 6 cm from cables and metal surfaces on every side.

  • Page 16: Cable Routing

    4. MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend binding the cables together to avoid coupling noise onto the cables. 1. Length: The combination of power supply and data cables can be a maximum of 1.5 meters. 2. If the length of the data cables exceeds 1.5 meters or if the cable leads towards the switch panel, we recommend installing overvoltage protectors (surge suppressors).

  • Page 17: Din Rail Clip

    4. MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend using the switch panel’s earth-bonding distribution frame for grounding the router’s power supply, data cables and antenna. Removing from DIN rail Figure 6: DIN rail clip This is the default position of the DIN rail clip. To remove the router from the DIN rail, push the router up slightly, so that the top part of the clip disengages, and then gently slide the router off the DIN rail.
