Safety Precautions

■General Precautions

•At startup and during operation, be sure to monitor the functions and performance of the NE-W11E.

•We recommend that you take substantial safety measures to avoid any damage in the event that a problem occurs.

•Do not modify the NE-W11E or use it in any way other than described in the specifications. The functions and performance of products used or modified in this way cannot be assured.

•When the NE-W11E is used in combination with other equipment, functions and performance may be degraded depending on operating conditions, surrounding environment and other factors. Fully take this into consideration before using the NE-W11E in this way.

•Do not subject instruments including peripheral devices to sudden changes in temperature. Doing so might cause condensation which may cause the instrument or device to malfunction.

•Mount the NE-W11E as far away as possible from power lines or high-voltage lines. Noise from power lines and high-voltage lines may cause the NE-W11E to malfunction.

•NE-W11E is not a general purpose equipment suitable for use by the average consumer.

•NE-W11E is not a product safe to use for domestic use.

•NE-W11E has reduced safety features and must only be used under specific environmental conditions.

•NE-W11E has reduced safety features and product must only be used by technically skilled persons.

Do not use the NE-W11E near the following items:

● Medical equipment such as pacemakers

The NE-W11E might cause electrical interference with medical equipment or pacemakers, and endanger human life.

●Microwave ovens and other electronic household items, in-site wireless nodes (requiring a license) for mobile recognition that are used in factory production lines, etc., and specific smallpower wireless nodes (not requiring a license)

The NE-W11E might cause electrical interference, resulting in a drop in communications speed, loss of data or diminished transfer distance.

Should radio wave interfere with in-site wireless modes for mobile recognition and specific small-power wireless nodes be generated from the NE-W11E, change the frequency of the NE-W11E to prevent radio wave interference from occurring.

Use cellphones, PHS, TVs or radios as far away as possible from the NE-W11E.

Noise is sometimes generated in voice or video images due to the influence of radio waves generated by wireless LAN products.

DANGER

•Do not lay cables during lightning. Lightning may cause electric shock.

•Do not build a network using this device that may adversely affect human life or damage equipment.

CAUTION

•Do not touch the Ethernet ports with a pen, screwdriver or other finetipped object. Doing so might scratch or damage the Ethernet ports.

•Do not subject this device to impact, or exert more than necessary force when inserting the STP/UTP cables into the Ethernet ports. Doing so might damage the Ethernet ports.

•Do not wipe this device with paint thinner or organic solvents. Doing so might damage this device. When wiping this device, use a soft cloth moistened with watered down neutral detergent.

•Do not drop this device, bump it or subject it to strong impact. Doing so might damage this device.

■Requests

If the NE-W11E is to be used in the following conditions or environments, make sure that the actual operating conditions are well within the published ratings and functional parameters. Take all necessary safety precautions, such as ensuring that operation is fail-safe. Also, consult your agent about the following applications.

•Use under conditions and environment not described in this manual

•Use of the NE-W11E in nuclear power control, railroad facilities, aircraft facilities, vehicles, combustion units, medical instruments, amusement machines, and safety devices

■Precautions for FCC

The NE-W01E falls under the category of intentional radiowave-emitting devices stipulated in FCC Part 15 subpart C. Keyence Corporation has evaluated compliance with the requirements of FCC Part 15 subpart C, and has confirmed that the NE-W01E satisfies those requirements.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

--Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

--Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

--Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

The NE-W01E cannot be used with a device other than the antenna (provided) mounted. When the NE-W01E is replaced, for example, due to antenna damage, be sure to purchase and mount an antenna exclusively for the NE-W01E.

This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

field

Note: Install the NE-W11E as far away as possible from locations where radios, etc. are located. Radio waves emitted by the NE-W11E may cause noise to occur on the radio.

■Installation location precautions

Pay attention to the following points when installing the NE-W11E.

•Do not install the NE-W11E in a location where the ambient temperature exceeds the 0 to +50°C range or the ambient humidity exceeds the 35 to 80%RH range.

•If the ambient temperature exceeds the above range, install a forced air cooling fan or air conditioner to keep the ambient temperature within this range.

•Allow as much space as possible between the NE-W11E and surrounding structures and other components to improve maintainability, operability and ventilation.

•Do not mount the NE-W11E directly above equipment (e.g. heaters, transformers, inverters and equipment with large resistance) that generate lots of heat.

■Measures for improving noise resistance

•Do not mount the NE-W11E inside industrial control panels in which high-voltage devices are also located.

•Mount the NE-W11E as far away as possible from power lines.

•Mount the NE-W11E as far away as possible when it must be mounted next to devices (e.g. solenoids, choppers, etc.) that generate strong magnetic and electrical fields.

•Do not include the NE-W11E I/O leads in the same ducts as power lines and highvoltage lines. Wire the I/O leads in separate ducts. Noise from power lines and highvoltage lines may cause malfunction on the NE-W11E.

•Provide a Class D earth (maximum resistance of 100 Ohms) for the protective ground terminal.

Features and Functions of the NE-W11E

Wireless LAN Station NE-W11E is a station for wireless LAN communications that is compliant with IEEE802.11b.
