    (EN60079-0, EN 60079- 14) as well as the Accident Prevention Regulations. Warning The iWAP200 must NOT be operated in ATEX Zone 0/20 or Zone 1/21 hazardous areas. Refer to the declaration of conformity for ATEX certificate information.
  • Page 6 When powering the iWAP200 via POE do not apply an external power supply to the protection board. Caution Never power the iWAP200 via POE if fans and/ or heaters are installed. Important Antenna connections must be sealed once installed to prevent the ingress of moisture.
  • Page 7 Do not exceed the Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) limit for the country/region of operation Information For legacy reasons, the RF outputs of the iWAP200 remain approved in accordance with EN60079-15:2005 as Ex nL (energy limited), and the iWAP200 remains solely marked as such.

    3.1.3 Mains & PoE Variant Cable Installation Diagram 3.1.3.1 shows the connectors on the mains and PoE variant of the iWAP200. Table 3.1.3.2 describes the pin out connection required for operation. There are two blocks of screw terminals and one RJ45 connector. The Ethernet input screw terminals are wired in parallel with the RJ45 connector.

    When connecting the access point via a fibre connection do not use any of the two Ethernet inputs of connectors. To obtain greater wired link distances the iWAP200 can be shipped with an optional fibre module. The fibre module will be connected directly to the access point, the user should attach the fibre cable directly to the fibre module.

    Warning Do not exceed the Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) for the gas group in which the iWAP200 will be operating. The RF output of the transceiver will vary depending on the hardware and antenna used. The maximum hardware limit of the access point must be used to calculate the EIRP –...

    Please note that in order to meet the requirements of the certification Extronics has to take the internal PCB's from the Access Point enclosure and make minor modifications to them. This will invalidate the warranty from the original manufacturer. If you wish the wireless network hardware to have a 12 month warranty like the iWAP200 enclosure system is supplied with then Extronics must supply the wireless hardware.
