Product Description Overview and Application The Ethernet-APL series of Rail Field Switches are ruggedized, managed switches. These switches provide connectivity for Ethernet-APL and optionally PROFIBUS PA field devices to 100/1000-MBit/s industrial Ethernet networks. Port diagnostics facilitate fault finding in Ether- net-APL networks and providing information for preventive maintenance of the rail field switches and the network they are connected to.

Figure 2.4 The switches provide 2 sockets for small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver Ethernet modules. Pepperl+Fuchs' SFP transceivers are intended to be used in applications, where extended distances are required. The SFP transceivers fulfill enhanced requirements for indus- trial use as such as installation in explosion-hazardous area, extended temperature range, and enhanced electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

ARS*-B2-IC* Installation Wall Mounting The accessory kit includes 2 brackets. Note When using product version with 8 Ethernet-APL spur connections, only 1 bracket is needed. Mounting wall-mounting brackets Figure 3.3 Screws for DIN mounting rail clamp TX20 screws for adapter Before installing wall-mounting bracket, remove the factory-installed DIN mounting rail clamps: To remove the DIN mounting rail clamps, loosen 3 screws each clamp.
Page 18
ARS*-B2-IC* Installation Note In the wall-mounting kit screws for wall-mounting brackets are not included. Use the TX20 screws that are obtained by removing adapter. Fit each wall-mounting bracket with 2 screws. Fit the device to the wall with M6 screws. Inserting or Removing Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver Danger! Explosion hazard from sparking when using operating elements!

ARS*-B2-IC* Installation Disconnect the LC connector from the SFP transceiver. Insert a dust protection cap into the SFP transceiver. Open the bale clasp on the SFP transceiver by pushing it into downward direction with your index finger. If the bale clasp is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small slot-head screwdriver to open the bale clasp.
ARS*-B2-IC* Installation Connection Assignment Danger! Danger to life from incorrect installation Incorrect installation of cables and connection lines can compromise the function and the elec- trical safety of the device. Observe the permissible core cross section of the conductor. ■ When using stranded conductors, crimp wire end ferrules on the conductor ends.
