EMC directive The product complies with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004 / 108 / EC. A technical file with a reference title of 'UK Supply STAPS Wireless Steam Trap Monitoring System' supports the Spirax Sarco claim that the product complies with the requirements of the Directive and the product can be used in Class A (heavy industrial) and Class B (domestic / commercial areas).
1.5 Tools and consumables Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and / or consumables available. Use only genuine Spirax Sarco replacement parts. 1.6 Protective clothing Consider whether you and / or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect against the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high / low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and dangers to eyes and face.
1.13 Use within explosive atmospheres The STAPS receiver / repeater is certified for use within area where there is a potential for explosive atmosphere. The product certification information is shown in Section 6 of this document. Ensure that the product fully meets with the application requirements before installation.
2.4 GHz wireless network. The receiver is the link for the STAPS wireless system to the LAN network if powered and its RJ-45 socket is connected to a network point / PC. If the receiver is powered, but does not have a RJ-45 socket connected it will act as a repeater.

2.3 System equipment and network overview Network The STAPs steam trap monitoring system is based on a wireless network. Each steam trap is monitored by an individual STAPs sensor head, that communicates directly to a receiver or repeater, using wireless 2.4 GHz protocol.

The area of the Fresnel zone below the floor will be obstructed. For this reason it is suggested Steam Trap that the STAPS heads and receivers are fitted at a minimum of 1.5 m above the ground / floor. Typically a blockage affecting 20% of the Fresnel zone will introduce little signal loss. However beyond 40% blockage the signal loss becomes rapidly significant.

3. Installation of receiver / repeater Note: Before actioning any installation, observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1. 3.1 The STAPS receiver includes the following parts: 1 off Receiver with mounting lugs. 3.2 Consider where the receiver is to be fitted: The weather - Is the monitor suitable for the worst case weather conditions? The receiver is IP66 rated.

Ensure network cable is fully engaged. If the STAPS system is being set up with a stand alone network, using a network switch (Figure 8), the power to the switch must be switched on before power to the receiver.
4. Electrical installation Note: Before installing read the 'Safety Information' in Section 1. Warning: Isolate the mains supply before touching any of the wiring terminals as these may be wired to hazardous voltages. Use only the connectors supplied with the product, or spares obtained from Spirax-Sarco Limited.
