Physical description of FDAP1/FDAP2

FDAP1/FDAP2 enclosure
The FDAP1/FDAP2 has a rugged die-cast aluminum enclosure for outdoor use. The enclosure and all auxiliary
components are designed to meet IP66 and NEMA Type 4X (FM only) ratings for protection against dust and
water ingress. The enclosure has two water-tight type N bulkhead connectors for antenna spatial diversity in the
FDAP1/FDAP2 radios. The half-inch rigid conduit hub has a gasket to seal out water and dust. A rigid conduit
hub, internal and external ground studs, and a removable cover are provided for field installation. Externally
accessible Infrared (IR) port allows the device to be commissioned in the field. Three status LED's provide
information about power, device health, and communication. The enclosure may be mounted on a pole or on a
flat surface such as a wall using the available optional mounting brackets. The enclosure measures
approximately 20 cm x 13 cm x 7 cm (L x W x H).
IR port
The FDAP1/FDAP2 has an externally accessible IR port that is used for communicating with the Provisioning
Handheld device. The Provisioning Handheld device is used for commissioning the FDAP1/FDAP2, reading,
and setting the various FDAP1/FDAP2 parameters. The IR port has a range of 20 cm and a beam width of 20
degrees.
FDAP1/FDAP2 communication radio
FDAP1/FDAP2 has wireless compliant radios that operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It uses spatial antenna
diversity with sophisticated error correction schemes to improve communication and increase coverage in a
typical industrial complex where multi-path propagation is prevalent.
