Siemens 6GK5786-2AB60-2AA0 SIMATIC SCALANCE W786-2PRO IWLAN Access Point

Description

The Siemens 6GK5786-2AB60-2AA0 is an Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN) Access Point from the SIMATIC SCALANCE W786-2PRO series, designed for robust wireless communication in industrial environments. This device supports IEEE 802.11b/g/a/h standards, operating across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands with data rates up to 54 Mbit/s. It incorporates WPA2/802.11I/11E security protocols to ensure secure data transmission. The access point features a durable IP65-rated enclosure, making it suitable for operation in harsh conditions with a wide temperature range of -40 degC to +70 degC. It is powered by 48 V DC and includes four external antenna connections, two radio interfaces, and a fiber optic (glass FOC, Multimode) socket for versatile connectivity. This module is intended for operation outside the USA and is currently available as a spare part.

Installation Guidelines

1. Safety First: Ensure all power to the installation area is de-energized before beginning any work.
2. Mounting: Utilize the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the access point. Given its IP65 rating, ensure the mounting surface is stable and can support the unit's weight in its intended operating environment.
3. Antenna Connection: Connect up to four external antennas to the designated ports. Ensure proper torque and weather sealing for outdoor or harsh environment installations to maintain the IP65 rating.
4. Fiber Optic Connection: Connect the Multimode fiber optic cable to the FO socket. Handle fiber optic cables with care to prevent damage.
5. Power Supply: Connect the 48 V DC power supply to the appropriate terminals, observing correct polarity. Verify the power source meets the specified voltage requirements.
6. Cable Routing: Route all cables (power, antenna, fiber optic) to prevent strain, interference, and damage. Ensure cable glands or conduits maintain the enclosure's environmental protection.
7. National Approvals: Verify that the installation and operation comply with all relevant national and local regulations for wireless devices, especially regarding frequency usage and power output. This unit is specified for operation outside the USA.
8. Initial Power-Up: After all connections are secure and verified, re-energize the power supply and observe the device's status indicators for proper operation.
