Before installation:
Read this manual completely and gather all information on the unit. Make sure that
you understand it fully. Check that your application does not exceed the safe operating specifications for this unit.
This unit should only be installed by qualified personnel.
This unit should be built-in to an apparatus cabinet, or similar, where access is
restricted to service personnel only.
The power supply wiring must be sufficiently fused, and if necessary it must be
possible to disconnect manually from the power supply. Ensure compliance
to national installation regulations.
This unit uses convection cooling.To avoid obstructing the air flow around the
unit, follow the spacing recommendations (see Installation section).
Before mounting, using or removing this unit:
Prevent access to hazardous voltage by disconnecting the unit from power supply.
Warning! Do not open connected unit. Hazardous voltage may occur within this
unit when connected to power supply.
Class 1 Laser Product
Do not look directly into fibre optical fibre port or any connected fibre although
this unit is designed to meet the Class 1 Laser regulations.
Care recommendations
Follow the care recommendations below to maintain full operation of unit and to fulfil
the warranty obligations.
This unit must not be operating with removed covers or lids.
Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Do not drop, knock or shake the unit, rough handling above the specification may cause
damage to internal circuit boards.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the unit.
Do not paint the unit. Paint can clog the unit and prevent proper operation.
Do not expose the unit to any kind of liquids (rain, beverages, etc). The unit is not water-
proof. Keep the unit within the specified humidity levels.

part may be damaged.
If the unit is not working properly, contact the place of purchase, nearest Westermo dis-
tributor office or Westermo Tech support.
Fibre connectors are supplied with plugs to avoid contamination inside the optical port.
As long as no optical fibre is mounted on the connector, e.g. for storage, service or
transportation, should the plug be applied.

SPECIAL
CONDITION
Equipment group II.
This unit can be installed in all places with an explosive gas atmosphere other
than mines susceptible to firedamp
Equipment category 3.
A category is the classification according to the required level of protection.
This unit ensures the requisite level of protection during normal operation and
is intended for use in areas in which explosive atmosphere caused by gases,
vapours, mists, or dust mixtures are unlikely to occure or, if they do occure, are
likely to do so only infrequently and for a short periode only.
Indicates protection concerning explosive atmospheres caused by gases,
vapours or mists (G).
Type of protection used.
This unit is a non-sparking device "nA" which is constructed to minimize the
risk of occurence of arcs or sparks capable of creating an ignition hazard during
conditions of normal operation.
Temperature class T4 (T4 = 135°C).
This unit is classified in accordance with its maximum surface temperature
(external and internal).
Equipment protection level Gc (EPL Gc).
Equipment for explosive gas atmospheres, having a "enhanced" level of protection, which is not a source of ignition in normal operation and which may have
some additional protection to ensure that it remains inactive as an ignition
source in the case of regular expected occurences. EPL Gc are analogous to the
ATEX Categories (Category 3 G = EPL Gc).
This unit has a special condition of use.
The special conditon for safe use contains safety related information that is
necesarry for the correct installation and safe use.

SPECIAL CONDITION FOR SAFE USE
Ambient temperature:
This unit is designed for use in extreme ambient temperature conditions according to the following:
–25ºC ≤ Ta ≤ +70ºC
Installation in an apparatus cabinet:
This unit requires installation in an Ex certified apparatus cabinet suitable for the area of use and
providing a degree of protection of at least IP54.
Resistance to impact:
This unit requires installation in an apparatus cabinet where adequate resistance to impact is
provided by the apparatus cabinet. See "Installation in an apparatus cabinet" above for requirements
on the external apparatus cabinet.
Resistance to light:
This unit requires installation in an apparatus cabinet where it is protected from light
(for example daylight or light from luminaires).
See "Installation in an apparatus cabinet" above for requirements on the external apparatus cabinet.
Secureness of plugs:
When this unit is installed in an explosive atmospheres, all connectors must be mechanically secured
to prevent loosening.
Conductor temperature:
When this unit is installed in locations with high ambient temperature, special precautions shall be
taken upon the choice of external conductors and the temperature rating of the conductor(s).
Directive 94/9/EC alongside with other directives:
Directive 2004/108/EC (EMC) applies and to assure a safe performance of this unit under the scope
of Directive 94/9/EC, refer to the electromagnetic immunity level specified under "Type tests and

Note. Fibre Optic Handling
Fibre optic equipment needs special treatment. It is very sensitive to dust and dirt. If
the fibre will be disconnected from the modem the protective hood on the transmitter/
receiver must be connected. The protective hood must be kept on during transportation.
The fibre optic cable must also be handle the same way.
If this recommendation not will be followed it can jeopardise the warranty.
Cleaning of the optical connectors
In the event of contamination, the optical connectors should be cleaned by the use of
forced nitrogen and some kind of cleaning stick.
Recommended cleaning fluids:
• Methyl-, ethyl-, isopropyl- or isobutyl-alcohol
• Hexane
• Naphtha
Maintenance
No maintenance is required, as long as the unit is used as intended within the specified
conditions.
