Special Conditions for Safe Use: “X” - The instruction indicates all the necessary information to ensure the installation and use minimize the risk from electrostatic discharge. “X” - Equipment must only be placed in areas with low risk of mechanical danger (ref clause 26.4.2 in EN 60079-0).
ITEM CHECK LIST Before starting installation, check that all the following items have been included with your Wireless X. If anything is missing, contact your dealer. Do not use any sharp objects like scissors or knives when opening the box. This may damage the content. Wireless X User manual Mounting fixture...
PREPARATIONS FOR CABLING AND TERMINATION Never perform any installation or maintenance work on the Wireless X while it is connected to power! Selection, Installation, Maintenance and repair of electrical apparatus for use in potentially explosive atmosphere should be done in accordance with IEC/ EN 60079-14/ -17/ -19 .
FIBER VERSION (FIB) Follow the cabling and termination instructions below for correct installation. Lay out the parts, cables and components as shown in the illustrations. It's recommended to use the included dome fixture during the cabling and termination process. Always pay attention to the fiber cables’ minimum bend radius of 30 mm. If you bend the fiber cable tighter than this minimum bend radius, you risk breaking the fiber cable.

Splicing fiber Once properly aligned, the fusion splicer uses an electrical arc to melt the fibers, permanently welding the two fiber ends together. Protection of the splice A typical fusion splice has a tensile strength of between 0.5 and 1.5 lbs. Using heat shrink tubing, silicone gel and/or mechanical crimp protectors will keep the...
Mount Ex e lid Place the protective lid over the Ex e chamber. Make sure the Ex e gasket is properly seated. Attach the 7 M6 fasteners. It is recommended to use low- to medium strength thread locking sealant on all the 7 fasteners POWER OVER ETHERNET VERSION (POE) Follow the cabling and termination instructions below for correct installation.

Terminate Ethernet cable Attach the individual leads to the termination block. The connection points are spring loaded. Important: Follow the color coding indicated in the illustration to the right. Connect power and ground Verify that the incoming power cable is NOT live using a multimeter.
POWER VERSION (PWR) Follow the cabling and termination instructions below for correct installation. Lay out the parts, cables and components as shown in the illustrations. It's recommended to use the included dome fixture during the cabling and termination process. Remove Ex e lid and insert cables into glands Unscrew the 7 M6x1 fasteners and remove the Ex e lid to...
Mount Ex e lid Place the protective lid over the Ex e chamber. Make sure the Ex e gasket is properly seated. Attach the 7 M6 fasteners. It is recommended to use low- to medium strength thread locking sealant on all the 7 fasteners. EARTHING EARTHING: The Wireless X must be earthed to the earth system using minimum one of the earth/fixing points.
DAISY CHAIN CONFIGURATIONS (DSY) Some versions can be configured as daisy chains, by having an extra output gland: This section contain guidelines for how to install and terminate the cables. Fiber daisy chain (FIB-DSY) Power daisy chain (PWR/ETH-DSY) FIBER DAISY CHAIN (FIB-DSY) The fiber cables can be configured as a daisy chain, if you have an extra set of fiber cables or more coming inside the Ex e chamber.
POWER DAISY CHAIN (PWR/ETH-DSY) The power/ground cables can be configured as a daisy chain. Please follow the cabling and termination instructions below Make sure the CC of the power cables are in the range of 1.5mm to 4mm Overview Make sure the power cables are terminated as explained in "POWER VERSION (PWR)"...
PREPARATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING Never perform any installation or maintenance work on the Wireless X while it is connected to power! During installation, if working at height cannot be avoided, a risk assessment should be carried out before any work at height is undertaken. The assess- ment should highlight the measures that must be taken to ensure people are not at risk of falling from height.

Mount ceiling bracket 1) Make sure the bracket is securely fixed to the cealing. Attach the safety wire to the Wireless X using a M6 fastener and then attach the other end of the safety wire to the ceiling bracket. The safety wire is not meant for carrying the entire weight of the Wireless X during installation.
Maintenance and inspection of the Wireless X, mounted in explosive atmosphere, should be done in accordance with IEC/ EN 60079-17 BARTEC PIXAVI recommends a minimum inspection interval of 36 months. Inspection procedure guidelines: ●...
- Max RF throughput, Input interfaces (Power/POE etc), size along with maximum and minimum operating temperatures are also relevant. If you are unsure if your access point will fit inside the Wireless X, your BARTEC representative can help you. How do I find the right place to mount the Wireless X? The location you choose to install your Wireless X affects the signal strength and network speed you will achieve.
Implementation guidelines for further troubleshooting. The Wi-Fi performance is slower than expected BARTEC PIXAVI does not provide any wired or wireless bandwidth specific guarantees. The network speed and performance depends on the actual equipment mounted inside the Wireless X, the splicing and termination quality, network cable length, network cable type and also interference coming from other RF equipment nearby.
