Conformity; Safety Instructions - NetModule AG NB1600 Manual

1 Conformity

This chapter provides general information for putting the router into operation.

1.1 Safety Instructions

NetModule routers must be used in compliance with any and all applicable national and
international laws and with any special restrictions regulating the utilization of the commu-
nication module in prescribed applications and environments.
We would like to point out that only the original accessories, shipping with the router, must
be used in order to prevent possible injury to health or damage to appliances and to ensure
that all the relevant provisions have been complied with. Unauthorized modi cations or uti-
lization of unapproved accessories may void the warranty. The routers must not be opened.
However, it is possible to replace any pluggable SIM cards even during operation.
All circuits connected to the interfaces of the router must comply with the requirements of
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits and have to be designed for indoor use only. Inter-
connections must not leave the building nor penetrate the body shell of a vehicle. Possible
antenna circuits must be limited to over-voltage transient levels below 1 500 V (according
DC
to IEC 62368-1, TNV-1 circuit levels) by using safety approved components.
HotSpot routers shall only be used with a certi ed (CE or equivalent) power supply which
1
must have a power limited and SELV circuit output.
They are basically designed for indoor use. Do not expose the communication module to
extreme ambient conditions and protect the communication module against dust, moisture
and high temperature.
We remind the user of the duty to observe the restrictions concerning the utilization of radio
devices at petrol stations, in chemical facilities or in the course of blasting works in which
explosives are used. Switch off the communication module when traveling by plane.
You need to pay increased attention when using the communication module close to per-
sonal medical devices, such as cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids. NetModule routers may
also cause interference in the nearer distance of TV sets, radio receivers and personal com-
puters.
Avoid any installation of the antenna during a lightning. Always keep a distance of more
than 40 cm from the antenna in order to reduce exposure to electromagnetic elds below
the legal limits. This distance applies to - and -antennas. Larger distances may apply to
antennas with higher gain.
Any Ethernet cabling must be shielded, the Ethernet section of this manual provides more
information.
Devices with a WLAN interface may be operated only with applicable Regulatory Domain
con gured. Special attention must be paid to country, number of antennas and the antenna
gain. A miscon guration will lead to loss of the approval.
Cellular antennas attached to the router must have an antenna gain of equal or less than 2.5
dBi. If an extension cable is used to attach the antenna, the antenna gain may be higher by

Note: Power supplies for routers with the Pb option (72-110 V ) cannot be a SELV circuit, since the voltage is
DC
greater than 60 V .
