Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the device is mounted in an environment consistent with the -20 degC to +60 degC temperature rating.
• Use the provided M12 sealing caps on all unused M12 connectors to maintain the IP65 rating.
• Connect the redundant 24 V DC power supply to the designated terminals to ensure uninterruptible power.
• Ensure proper grounding of the housing to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• When using external antennas, ensure they are connected to the N-CON ports with appropriate coaxial cabling to minimize signal loss.
• Configure the unit via the plug slot if utilizing additional Key-Plug iFeatures.
• Verify local regulatory compliance for wireless operations, as this model is intended for use outside of the USA and Israel.
