In this configuration, it simply provides a stand-alone, wireless network for a group of wireless devices. X5 Figure 1 Access point 2592_en_B PHOENIX CONT 3

7 Connections 7.1 Power Connect a regulated Class 2 DC power source to the transceiver. The supply voltage can range from 9 to 30 V DC with a nominal voltage of either 12 V DC or 24 V DC recommended. The power supply must be able to supply 215 ma of current at 24 V DC.

5 4 3 2 1 7.2 Antenna There are two antenna connectors on the transceiver (see Figure 6). A single antenna can be used, or two antennas can be connected to provide antenna diversity. Some sites may experience multipath problems. Multi-pathing is likely to be a greater problem when there is no line-of-sight, and there are lots of metal structures in the path. Conductive metals reflect RF energy fairly efficiently and increase the possibility of a multipath condition. If there is clear line-of-sight, multipath is less likely to occur but can still be a problem. If using a single antenna, connect it to ANT 1.

At 2.4 GHz, this distance is 15 cm (5.9 inches). Antennas can be mounted farther apart, but most of the benefit is realized at 1.25 wavelengths. 2592_en_B PHOENIX CONT GmbH & Co.
