Unless otherwise stated in the product documentation, the device is not provided with error-tolerance capabilities and cannot
therefore be deemed as being engineered, manufactured or setup to be compliant for implementation or for resale as an online
surveillance device in environments requiring safe, error-free performance, e.g. for implementation in nuclear power plants, aircraft
navigation, communication systems, or air traffic control, life saving and military facilities whereby possible device failures might
result in death, personal injuries, or serious physical and/or environmental damages (i.e. all applications involving high-risk hazard
factors).
This is therefore to state that neither ads-tec nor any ads-tec sub-supplier do not hereby undertake any warranty of fitness and/or
liability whatsoever, be it by express or by tacit consent, in as far as the suitability of the Firewall to high-risk application hazards is
concerned.

The unit operates under electrical tension and implements supersensitive component parts.
Intervention by the User is required only for power supply line connection operations.
Should any further alterations be required, it is necessary to consult either with the
Manufacturer directly or with authorised service personnel accordingly. During said
connection operations, the unit must be completely powered down. Specific requirements
need to be met concerning the prevention of electrostatic discharge on component
construction parts during contact. If the unit is opened up by a non authorised individual,
the User may be subject to potential hazards and, warranty conditions are terminated.
General Instructions:
•This User’s Guide must be read and understood by all Uses and must be available
for consultation at all times
•Mounting, operation start-up and unit operation must only be conducted by
appropriately qualified and trained personnel
•All individuals and operators using the unit must strictly observe all safety and use
instructions as provided within the User’s Guide
•All regulations and prescriptions on accident prevention and safety in force at the
unit installation site must be strictly observed at all times
•This User’s Guide provides all the most important directions as required for safe and
security oriented operation

AFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning:
In order to prevent possible unit damages, all cable lines (power supply, interface cables)
must be hooked up strictly with the unit in power-OFF conditions.
Warning:
All unit mounting operations must be strictly conducted under safe, secure and zeropotential conditions.
Note:
When handling parts and components susceptible to electrical discharge, please
accurately observe all the relevant safety provisions.
This unit is engineered for industrial application. It is necessary to ensure that specified
environmental conditions are maintained at all times. Unit implementation in non-specified
surroundings, i.e. onboard ships, in explosive atmospheres or at extreme heights, is
prohibited.
Warning:
For the prevention of water condensate accumulation, the unit should be turned ON only
when it reaches ambient temperature. This particularly applies when the unit is subject to
extreme temperature fluctuations and/or variations.
Avoid overheating during unit operations; the unit must not be exposed to direct sunlight
or any other direct light or heat sources.
Warning:
If the unit is operated in outdoor locations, a lightning conductor needs to be present
within capture range. Ensure that all incoming conductive systems are equipped with

Should the service system have evident signs of damages incurred e.g. due to wrong
operation or storage conditions or due to improper unit use, the unit must be
decommissioned or scrapped. Ensure that it is protected against accidental start-up.
ARRANTY / REPAIRS
During the unit warranty period, any repairs thereto must strictly be conducted solely by the
manufacturer or by service personnel that has been duly authorised by the manufacturer.
ENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR THE
• The unit is certified for use of the 5 GHz band in accordance with ETSI EN 301 893
V1.3.1. Users need to observe the following:
• Access Point as well as Access Client units make use of DFS and TPC as standard on all 5
GHz channels, in indoor as well as in outdoor configuration. This means that the devices
may always be operated at a maximum transmission power of 23 dBm or 30 dBm,
respectively.
Note:
Access Points must not switch off DFS in outdoor locations. Access Clients may switch off
DFS, though. This setting is turned off by default.
5GHZ V
ERSION
(802.11 A / 802.11 H) ETSI
• 802.11a channels cannot be set to static values.
Note:
The lower 4 channels (non-DFS) can be set to static values if DFS is turned off. Turning
off DFS will however also make the features 60s Scan, 24h Scan and Radar Detection
unavailable.
• When activating the Access Point, the unit will perform an initial Radar Detection Scan
during which it will wait 60 seconds for a radar impulse on a randomly chosen channel.
Subsequently, it will start operating on this channel.
• The 60s Scan will be repeated every 24 hours and cause a temporary connection loss.
• If an Access Client detects a radar impulse during operation, the Access Point will be
notified of this via 802.11h. Triggered by this or its own detection of the impulse, the
Access Point will subsequently perform a channel switch to 802.11h. The connection loss
in this case is usually less than 80ms.
• The maximum permissible transmission power is different for each channel. Hence users
are required to correctly set the antenna amplification in case the standard antenna is
replaced!
NTENNA LIST FOR USE IN
• This antenna types can be used with the Access Points and Access Client in USA and
Canada. The antennas can be ordered at ads-tec GmbH. For the correct operation you
have to use an absorbability cabel for the different antenna types.

Reliable, stable and secure wireless LAN connections: employing state-of-the-art technology,
the industrial Rugged Access Point (RAP) provides
applications, such as commissioning, mobile computing and data communication. The RAP
supports all applicable standards, including 802.11a/b/g, at a transmission frequency of 2.4
and 5 GHz. Industrial applications necessitate sturdy technology. Whether installed in a cold
store or in great heat – thanks to its extended temperature range, the RAP continues to
function. Furthermore, the RAP is MIL-certified, which means it passed one of the most
demanding shock and vibration tests – this guarantees utmost ruggedness.

The device is designed for industrial operations and may be employed wherever the
environment conditions specified above are met. In order to ensure optimal mounting and
operation, the unit should be placed at suitable location at which WLAN connectivity is not
impaired. WLAN connectivity is adversely influenced by iron beams and thick concrete walls.
The supply connection, as well as device interfaces, is located inside the unit. The
maintenance duct cover needs to be removed before supply lines and interface cables can
be connected.
Please remove the five screws (M3x8) indicated below.
Warning:
To avoid damage to the unit’s electronics, switch off the device before establishing or
removing any plug connections.
Observe permissible device voltage.
Once the maintenance duct cover has been removed, the supply lines can be connected
to the device.
For each WLAN module, 2 antennas should be installed.
Depending on the device variant, the unit accommodates up to two radio modules for two
separate WLANs. The full antenna assembly for each module consists of one vertical and
one horizontal antenna. The four or eight antennas supplied work at a frequency of 2.5GHz
or 5Ghz (two or four each, respectively).
