Table 5: Cisco console port wiring ......................16 1 Introduction The iWAP107 is an ATEX and IECEx approved Zone 1 Access Point Enclosure with intrinsically safe RF outputs; it is designed to allow the deployment of wireless networks in hazardous areas. The concept allows installation of equipment from leading WLAN vendors such as Cisco, Aruba, Aeroscout and Motorola.
2.2 Special Conditions for Safe Use 2.2.1 ATEX/IECEx 1. Contact Extronics for information on the dimensions of the flameproof joints. 2. The RF output is only to be connected to an antenna suitable for the hazardous location; refer to associated RF galvanic isolator iSOLATE500 equipment certificate IECEx BAS 13.0064X / Baseefa13ATEX0112X, and associated instructions.

Installation and Operating Manual Warning! Hot surfaces may be present within the iWAP107 enclosure - observe the warning labels fitted. Warning! Optical radiation hazards may be present within the iWAP107 enclosure – observe the warning labels fitted. Warning! The iWAP107 may weigh up to 70Kg. Exercise care when handling and mounting.
DO NOT lift the iWAP107 using the threaded entries, N-type RF connectors or door bolts. Lift only using suitably approved slings, fitted by suitably qualified personnel. Mount the iWAP107 enclosure to a suitable structure, using the mounting points shown. M5 threaded earth point...
IP rating of the enclosure. 3.2.1 Opening the Enclosure The flamepaths of the iWAP107 enclosure are supplied with grease applied to protect them. This can make the enclosure lid difficult to open as the grease can cause it to stick.
N-type female connections. The N-type connections are the front part of the iSOLATE-CT devices which transit through the flameproof wall of the iWAP107022 enclosure, and are approved as part of the iWAP107 ATEX/IECEx certification. The designators A-D correspond with the RF port assignments of the Cisco AIR-CAP2602E-Z-K9 access point installed in the flameproof enclosure.

Table 2: iWAP107 Internal Connection/Features 3.6 Power supply Important The iWAP107 may be powered from a number of different power sources, depending on its configuration. Refer to the rating plate of the unit supplied for details.
The iWAP107 is fitted with a single fuse on the Live circuit, of either a 1A or 2A, depending its configuration. The fuse requirement for the specific model supplied is written on the top plate next to the fuse holder.
If Copper Ethernet is specified, this will be terminated in a standard CAT5E RJ45 Socket on the front plate of the iWAP107, Position D in Figure 6. Typically the interface will be an IEEE 10/100/1000BaseT format, but this is dependent on the access point installed.
Table 5: Cisco console port wiring 3.10 Intrinsically Safe RF Outputs Warning! The iWAP107 Intrinsically Safe RF output ports are located in the positions shown in Section 3.3. Only antennas in accordance with Section 3.11 may be connected to these ports.
Extronics for details. 3.12 Antenna Installation Antennas approved by Extronics for use with the iWAP107 may either be fitted directly to the RF connectors of the iWAP107, or via a length of coaxial cable. If antennas are sited remotely from the iWAP107 flameproof enclosure, any metallic parts of the antennas must be isolated from earth by >...
