  • Page 10: Safety Instructions

    2.0 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COMPLIANCE PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS: THIS EQUIPMENT IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS I, DIVISION 2, GROUPS A, B, C, AND D HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, OR NON-HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS ONLY. WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN REMOVED OR THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.

  • Page 11: Product Disposal Instructions

    The router may cause interference when in the close proximity of tv sets, radio receivers or personal computers. PRODUCT DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment: 2002/96/EC) directive has been introduced to ensure that electrical/electronic products are recycled using the best available recovery techniques to minimize the impact on the environment.

  • Page 12: Router Description

    3.0 ROUTER DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION The SPECTRE Cellular and Etherent industrial routers are used to wirelessly connect Ethernet 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 networks, automatic teller machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals.

  • Page 18: Fig. 4: Cable Routing

    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 19: Fig. 5: Space In Front Of Connectors

    Fig. 5: Space in front of connectors 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 Fig. 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 DUIN rail.

Protection against reversed polarity is built into the router.

  • Page 26: Antenna Connector

    This antenna improves the receive sensitivity of the router and should be used in areas with weak signal strength. On SPECTRE Cellular routers with Wi-Fi, a third antenna is connected to the AUX antenna connector on the front panel. The AUX connector on the Wi-Fi units is a reverse-polarity SMA connector and should only be used with the smaller Wi-Fi antenna.

  • Page 27: Sim Card Reader

    Fig. 14: Connecting the antenna The diversity antenna improves the wireless features of the router SIM CARD READER The SIM card reader supports 3 V and 1.8 V Mini-SIM cards. It is located on the front panel of the router. The router will not operate on UMTS or LTE networks unless an activated SIM card with an unblocked PIN is in the reader.

  • Page 37: I/O Port

    5.7.3 I/O PORT The I/O port user interface (CNT) is used to monitor analog and binary input signals and to control binary output signals. The interface has 6 inputs and 1 output. Two of the inputs can be configured as binary counter inputs or general purpose binary inputs.

  • Page 38: Selecting The Binary Input Current

    5.7.3.5 SELECTING THE BINARY INPUT CURRENT The input threshold for detecting a logic 1 can be set at either 8uA or 20mA using a jumper on the module board. When jumper J4 is shorted, the threshold current level is 20 mA. When jumper J4 is not shorted, the threshold current level is 8μA.
