Safety 4 (46)
2 Safety
2.1 General Safety Instructions
Caution
This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band. Make
sure that all medical devices used in proximity to this equipment meet appropriate
susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy.
This equipment is recommended for use in both industrial and domestic environments.
For industrial environments it is mandatory to use the functional earth connection to
comply with immunity requirements. For domestic environments the functional earth
must be used if a shielded Ethernet cable is used, in order to meet emission requirements.
This equipment contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use
ESD prevention measures to avoid damage.
2.2 External Antenna Restrictions
For models with external antenna, only use antennas that are certified for use with this
equipment. Using external antennas that are not certified for use with this equipment will
invalidate its certifications and make it non-compliant with the regulations for radio equipment.
A list of certified antennas can be found at www.anybus.com/support.
2.3 Intended Use
The intended use of this equipment is as a communication interface and gateway. The
equipment receives and transmits data on various physical levels and connection types.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
2.4 Type Identification
The type name consists of a type prefix followed by two designators for interface configuration
and functionality.

3 Installation
3.1 General Information
Make sure that you have all the necessary information about the capabilities and restrictions of
your local network environment before installation.
For models with internal antenna the characteristics of the antenna should be considered when
choosing the placement and orientation of the unit.
For optimal reception, wireless devices require a zone between them clear of objects that could
otherwise obstruct or reflect the signal. A minimum distance of 50 cm between the devices
should also be observed to avoid interference.
See also Wireless Technology Basics, p. 44.
3.2 Limitations
Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) may not work with some devices due to different
implementations of Bluetooth by different manufacturers.
WLAN 5 GHz cannot be used at the same time as WLAN 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth.
