Safety Instructions

Danger

Failure of safety-related functions due to deficient data transmission.
Severe injury or death

The device operates using radio signals and is not authorized for use in safety-related applications. Insufficient Wi-Fi availability, interference, or malfunctioning of the device can cause faulty data transmission. Because of this, data transmission can not be guaranteed at all times and under all conditions

  • Never operate this device in machines or applications where life depends on the fault-free operation of this device
  • Never rely solely on wireless devices for essential communications
  • The device is designed to be used in systems which must be checked for conformity with the respective valid legal requirements prior to putting into operation

The integrator of the device is responsible for ensuring that the final system complies with all regional regulations and requirements

Danger

Failure of communications systems in aircraft due to radio-frequency energy.
Severe injury or death

  • Disconnect the power supply to the device before entering the aircraft
  • Make sure the device cannot be switched on inside the aircraft

Danger

Danger of explosion due to the operation of electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Severe injury or death

  • Observe the applicable regulations and precautions for potentially explosive areas
  • Do not mount the antenna in the close proximity of easily ignited substances (e.g. fuel tanks) and insufficiently shielded electronic devices.

Warning

Danger of interference with medical equipment caused by radio frequency (RF) energy.
Risk of severe or fatal injury

Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy. The functioning of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical devices and hearing aids can be affected if the CANlink® wireless 4000 is located too close to the medical devices

  • Observe the local regulations for use of mobile radio devices in hospitals or other medical facilities. Disconnect the power supply to the device when local regulations in sensitive areas require that you do so|
  • If you use a cardiac pacemaker or other medical device, do not come within the close vicinity of the switched-on CANlink® wireless 4000 and its antenna
  • If in doubt about potential danger, contact a physician or the manufacturer of the medical equipment to verify that it is properly shielded

Warning

Danger to life due to electric shock!
Risk of severe or fatal injury

Never use the device if you suspect damage to the power supply unit or the device, or if there is visible damage to the power supply unit or the device.

Warning

Danger to life due to electric shock!
Risk of severe or fatal injury|

Never carry out repairs to the device yourself. Contact the Proemion support. The device does not contain any parts that can be repaired or maintained by the user.

Warning

Overload damage due to malfunction.
Risk of severe or fatal injury

To limit power in the event of malfunction, secure the DC power supply circuit during installation with an external 1 A fuse.

Warning

Health hazards of radio-frequency energy.
Risk of minor injury

During operation, observe a distance of at least 20 cm between the antennas and personnel.

Note

Interference with electronic equipment caused by radio-frequency energy.

  • Do not use the device with damaged cables or plugs. Cables and plugs must always be shielded.
  • Observe all special regulations and disconnect the power supply to the CANlink® wireless 4000 if its use is prohibited or if you have doubts as to whether operation can cause interference or dangers.

Note

Risk of property damage.

  • The device must be installed, connected, and commissioned by a qualified technician.
  • Disconnect the device completely before handling it.
  • Also disconnect any independently supplied output load circuits.
  • Provide all the device connectors with plugs and any protection caps required to ensure protection class IP6K7.
  • Only mount the device in the installation position shown in Mounting the Device.
  • Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
  • The device must only be opened by the manufacturer.
  • The device must only be repaired by the manufacturer.
  • Do not operate the device without antennas.
  • Pay attention that all the plug and cable connections can be made according to the correct assignment and without the need for any excessive force.
  • Keep substances that contain solvents away from the type label.

Note

Risk of property damage.
Damage to the device due to improper power application

The correct order of applying voltage to the device terminals CL15 and CL30 must be observed when powering on and powering off.

POWER ON
First power on CLAMP30, then CLAMP 15.

POWER OFF
The opposite order must be followed Power off CLAMP15, then CLAMP 30.

If this order is not maintained, the device can fail to boot.

Note

Risk of property damage.
Damage to the device due to water penetration

  • The device was tested against water jets according to IPxK6 of ISO 20653 standard.
    Different loads, e.g. with a pressure washer or a higher flow rate, do not correspond to the intended use.
  • Never clean the CANlink wireless device with a pressure washer or similar.

Note

The horizontal distance between antennas can be calculated for every radio signal.
The distance between two antennas must

  • always be greater than 1/4 of the wavelength, and
  • not a multiple of the wavelength.

Bluetooth / BLE
Frequency range 2.400 - 2.4835 GHz, wavelength 12.49 cm (1/4 = 3.12 cm)

Wi-Fi

  • 2.4GHZ Frequency range 2.400 - 2.4835 GHz, wavelength 12.49 cm (1/4 = 3.12 cm)
  • 5GHz Frequency range 5.150 - 5.725 GHz, wavelength 5.17 cm (1/4 = 1.29 cm)

Example If you are using 2.4GHZ Wi-Fi®, the distance between the two antennas must be at least 3.2 cm.
Avoid the distances 19.23 cm, 12.49 cm and multiples of these values.
