Notes on securing the device
Where necessary, use cable conduits.
•
Make sure that there is suitable strain relief for the connecting cable.
•
Recommendation: If you use a cable conduit, lay the Ethernet connection from port P2 to a suitable location inside the
•
building at the same time. This simplifies any configuration changes you may want to make in the future.
Wall mounting
The device is wall-mounted using the four mounting holes on the back of the Link housing (analogous to the mast clamps
used for mast mounting). The illustrations in this section show the location of the holes for wall mounting of the Link. Secure
the Link to the wall with 4 screws. The screws are not supplied with the device. The type and length of the screws depend on
the type of wall.
Position of the external antenna (device variant 6GK1 411-6CA40-0BA0)
Secure the external antenna in a vertical position and with a clearance of approximately 1.5 m from buildings or larger
objects to achieve optimum communication with the field devices.
3.2.2 Antenna installation when using redundancy
Installation of two redundant Links
When installing two redundant Links, make sure that the following clearance is maintained between the external antennas of
the redundant devices:
● Vertical
Vertically, the two antennas must be installed at the same height.
● Horizontal
The permitted horizontal distance between the two antennas is 1 to 3 m.
