Mounting and Installation

Product Dimensions

The dimensions of the router are available in both metal and plastic box variants. Refer to the diagrams below for detailed measurements (in millimeters).

Mounting Options

The router can be installed in the following ways:

  1. On a Flat Surface: Place the router on a stable, flat surface.
  2. On a Wall: Use the wall mounting clips provided with the router. Refer to the Wall Mounting section for detailed instructions.
  3. On a DIN Rail: Mount the router using the metal DIN rail clip in compliance with EN 60715 standards. Refer to the DIN Rail Mounting section for additional details.

For most applications involving a built-in router within a switchboard, consider the following environmental types:

  • Non-public industrial environments: Low voltage with high interference.

  • Public environments: Low voltage without high interference.

For both cases, mounting the router to a switchboard eliminates the need for additional immunity or EMC-related examinations under EN 61439-1:2011.

Guidelines for Mounting

In compliance with EN 61439-1:2011, observe the following assembly instructions when mounting the router inside a switchboard:

  • When using whip antennas, maintain a minimum distance of 6 cm from cables and metal surfaces on all sides to minimize interference.
  • Use a lightning conductor for external antennas mounted outside the switchboard.
  • When mounting the router on sheet-steel, use a cable antenna.
  • Bundle power supply and data cables, ensuring:
    • The combined cable length does not exceed 1.5 m.
    • Surge protectors are installed if data cables exceed 1.5 m or run toward the switchboard.
    • Data cables are not bundled with mains voltage cables (230 V/50 Hz or 120 V/60 Hz).
  • Leave sufficient space between connectors for easy cable handling.
  • Use an earth-bonding distribution frame to properly ground the router’s grounding screw.
  • Ensure compliance with the Power Supply and Grounding guidelines for safe and proper operation.

Wall Mounting

The router includes two pre-assembled wall mounting clips for installation on walls or similar surfaces. Follow these steps:

  1. Rotate the clips as shown in the diagram.
  2. Align the clips with the desired mounting position.
  3. Use screws with a diameter of 5 mm to secure the clips. Refer to the Product Dimensions section for precise spacing.
  4. Tighten the screws with a maximum torque of 0.4 Nm.

Tips

Ensure the wall surface is stable and suitable for installation.

Warning

Over-tightening screws may damage the clips.

DIN Rail Mounting

The DIN rail clip allows the router to be securely mounted on DIN rails compliant with EN 60715 standards.

To mount the router:

  • Place the DIN rail clip onto the rail.
  • Ensure the clip is securely attached.

To remove the router:

  • Push down lightly on the router until the bottom part of the DIN rail clip disengages from the rail.
  • Tilt the bottom part of the router away from the rail to release it.

Warning

  • Handle the router carefully to avoid damaging the DIN rail clip during removal.
  • Tighten the DIN rail clip screws to a maximum torque of 0.4 Nm to prevent damage to the clip or mounting surface.
