Note
Use of Siemens cables
We recommend that you only use original Siemens cables and connectors (refer to the
section Ordering data (Page 94)) to connect to the Ethernet socket of the reader. If plug-in
connectors from other manufacturers are used, it may be difficult or even impossible to
remove the plug from the reader.
Note
Use only allowed inside buildings
Only Ethernet cables laid inside buildings may be connected.
5.2.1.7 Grounding connection
On the top of the reader there is a blind drill hole (M4 x 8) for grounding. Tighten the screw
with a torque of ≃ 1.5 Nm.
Hazardous voltage due to lightning strikes
Death or serious injury may occur as a result of lightning strikes to antennas mounted
outside buildings.
If the reader is operated with antennas mounted outside buildings, it is imperative that the
reader is electrically connected to the ground potential.
NOTICE
Installation only in protected areas
The antenna can be installed in the protected part of a building. When implementing your
lightning protection concept, make sure you adhere to the VDE 0182 or IEC 62305
standards.
