XN3 Installation and Operating Manual 3 Installation 3.1 Mounting Mount the XN3 enclosure to a suitable structure, using the mounting points shown, Figure 1. The recommended fixings are: • M10 Flat Washer Form A DIN125A A4. • Socket Cap Head Screw M10 x 30 DIN912 A4-80 (minimum thread length of 30mm).
XN3 Installation and Operating Manual 3.2 Opening and Closing the Enclosure 3.2.1 Opening the front cover plate • Remove all bolts using a metric hex key, Figure 2. Store the bolts carefully to avoid damage or loss. • Ensure care is taken when removing the cover. Do not use a screwdriver or any other sharp implement to prise the cover apart as it may damage the sealing gasket.
Remove cover plate and keep bolts for reassembly o When refitting cover plate, only use supplied bolts and tighten to torque 3.5Nm. Check seal position and condition. o Check with Extronics for more information if required. Figures 3: XN3 entries and connectors...
XN3 Installation and Operating Manual 3.4 Earthing 3.4.1 Location of XN3 enclosure external earth bond points There are M6 threaded earth boss bonding point situated within the junction box, Figure 4, external Figure 5. Removal of the front cover plate is required to access the area.
XN3 Installation and Operating Manual Designator Purpose Comments Mains (L,N,E) or DC (+,-,E) input, Power input dependent on product configuration. Can be replaced by a blanking plate, Fibre input cabled to depending on product options. None separate dual LC fibre configurations will be supplied coupler.
The XN3 should be installed on a circuit with a double-pole circuit breaker of a maximum rating of 25A. This is the maximum current rating of the smallest internal chassis earth bond in accordance with EN60950-1 2.6.3.3. Refer to Extronics if it becomes necessary to exceed this rating. 3.9 Data Connections 3.9.1 Copper Ethernet...

XN3 Installation and Operating Manual 3.10 Intrinsically Safe RF Outputs Refer to Figure 9 for location of Intrinsically Safe RF outputs. 3.10.1 Example of RF threshold power calculation The following example shows how the RF threshold power may be calculated: Maximum transmitter output power (from transmitter datasheet) = 20dBm (100mW) Coaxial cable loss = 2dB...
Antennas connected to the XN3 Intrinsically Safe RF outputs must be assessed as ‘simple apparatus’ in accordance with IEC 60079-11. Antennas supplied by Extronics for use with the XN3 already meet these requirements. It is possible to assess other antennas for this purpose, contact Extronics for details.
XN3 Installation and Operating Manual If antennas are sited remotely from the XN3 flameproof enclosure, any metallic parts of the antennas must be isolated from earth by >500V , to prevent r.m.s hazardous earth currents from flowing in the coaxial cable. 3.13 Ex Main Enclosure Test If required, the integrity of the main enclosure sealing can be checked.
XN3 Installation and Operating Manual 4.3 Cleaning and Maintenance The XN3 and all its components require no maintenance. All work on the XN3 by personnel who are not expressly qualified for such activities will cause the Ex approval and the guarantee to become void. 4.4 Cleaning and Maintenance Intervals The cleaning intervals depend on the environment where the system is installed.
