2.3

Putting components together (BAT-F)

To protect the exposed contacts of the components from dirt, the individual
system components must be connected in a dry and clean area. Seal unused
ports with the cover caps supplied.
Note: Connectors are not electrical isolating devices.
Therefore, first plug the connector into the power supply plug, then switch on
the power supply.
Note: Protection class IP67 is only achieved if all the connected components
also fulfill protection class IP67.
Cover unused connectors with the cover caps supplied.
Only connect plugs and other components that fulfill protection class IP
67, and that are certified for a temperature range from -30 °C to +55 °C
(-22 °F to +131 °F).
2.4 Selecting the location for mounting/
setting up
Set up/mount the device in a location where the ambient conditions
comply with the specified listed in the technical data.
2.5

Mounting outdoors (BAT-F)

Note: Set up the antenna close to the device. Use the shortest antenna cable
possible to minimize attenuation.
Note: Cable connections are subject to corrosion in outdoor installations.
Seal the outdoor cable connectors with water- and weather-resistant tape.
2.5.1

Lightning protection

Note the safety instructions for lightning protection (see the datasheet for
lightning protection or the WLAN Outdoor Guide).
If possible, avoid installing in locations with a high risk
of lightning. This applies in particular to installing antennas.
