Antenna installation

Inside the control box, wireless modules are connected to the surge protection by means of an RSMA connection. The surge protection also functions as a panel feed-through. Additionally, extension cables with an N connection at both ends are used.

The antenna barrier makes the high-frequency outputs of wireless modules intrinsically safe according to the Ex i type of protection. It limits the ignition energy in the event of an error. The antenna barrier is installed in an IP54 control box in zone 2 or in the safe area. This makes it possible to use standard antennas in potentially explosive areas up to zone 0.

All wireless modules with an RSMA connection are connected directly to the N connection of the antennas via a cable. Various cable lengths between 50 cm and 5 m are available.
