Wi-mod-e wireless ethernet, Installation guide, Fcc statutory requirements
FCC Statutory Requirements
Unlicensed operation limits the radio power. High gain aerials may only be
used to compensate for cable losses.
9-30V
DC Supply
NOTES
ALL connections must be SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage <50V AC & <120V DC)
Ethernet Port wiring is that of a hub or switch.
‘-' Supply terminal and 'M4 GND screw on rear of module' must be connected to EARTH /
GROUND as close as practical to the unit.
Module Power Supply -Ve terminal is not Isolated from Earth/GND
DIO channel can be wired as either input or output.
Care must be taken with antenna selection and proximity to the radio.
The non-metallic cover of the Wireless Ethernet Modem is considered to constitute an
