1. Safety Instructions
Please, observe the following instructions:
1.1 Hazardous Locations Installation Instructions
These devices are open-type devices that are to be installed in an enclosure suitable for the
environment and can only be accessed with the use of a tool or key.
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, AND D OR non-
hazardous locations only.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS PO-
WER HAS BEEN REMOVED OR THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – SUBSTITUTION OF ANY COMPONENTS MAY IM-
PAIR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS I, DIVISION 2.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – BATTERIES MUST ONLY BE CHANGED IN AN AREA
FREE OF IGNITIBLE CONCENTRATION.
All antennas, antenna cables and wiring have not been evaluated as external wiring.
Cet équipement est convenable en Classe 1, Division 2, Groupes A, B, C, et D endroits
dangereux OU endroits non dangereux seulement.
AVERTISSEMENT – RISQUE D’EXPLOSION – NE DÉCONNECTEZ PAS L’ÉQUIPEMENT,
SAUF SI L’ALIMENTATION A ÉTÉ COUPÉE OU SI L’ENVIRONMEMENT EST CLASSÉ NON
DANGEREUX.
AVERTISSEMENT – RISQUE D’EXPLOSION - SUBSTITUTION DE TOUTE COMPOSANTE
RISQUERAIT LA QUALITÉ POUR CLASSE 1, DIVISION 2.
AVERTISSEMENT - RISQUE D’EXPLOSION - LES BATTERIES DOIVENT ÊTRE REMPLACÉ-
ES DANS UN ENDROIT EXEMPT DE CONCENTRATIONS INFLAMMABLES.
This equipment shall be mounted in an ATEX Zone 2 certified enclosure with a minimum

SmartFlex SR305
3. Router Description
SmartFlex SR305 is an industrial cellular router intended for the North American market
(NAM). This router is an ideal device for wireless communication in mobile networks that make
use of LTE, HSPA+, UMTS, EDGE or GPRS technology. Due to the high speed of data transfer
(up to 100 Mbps download and up to 50 Mbps upload) this router is an ideal solution for
specialized M2M devices and IoT as well as for wireless connection of traffic and security
camera systems, individual computers, LAN networks, automatic teller machines (ATMs) and
other self-service terminals.
The standard configuration includes two Ethernet 10/100 ports, one USB 2.0 Host port,
two binary inputs and one output (I/O connector). The device also has two readers for 3 V and
1.8 V SIM cards, which are located on the rear panel of the router. The router also includes
a microSD card port that supports up to 64 GB card storage (32 GB in the case of SDHC
cards). The router can be equipped with a WiFi module, but this must be part of the initial
configuration – it cannot be added to the router at later date.
The router can be equipped with PoE PD (Power over Ethernet – Powered Device), which
allows the router to be powered via Ethernet. It can also be equipped with PoE PSE (Power
over Ethernet – Power Source Equipment), which enables the router to power other devices
via Ethernet. The SmartFlex router can also be configured with a wide variety of port options.
Options include SWITCH – three switched Ethernet ports; RS232-RS485/422 – combination
of serial interfaces; RS232-RS485-ETH – combination of serial interfaces and an Ethernet port
with higher insulation. The router can be supplied in either plastic or metal casing, depending
on customer requirements.
The router can be configured using a password-protected Web interface. The Web inter-
face provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities, signal strength, detailed system
logs etc. The router supports the creation of VPN tunnels using IPSec, OpenVPN and L2TP
to ensure safe communication. DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS,
primary connection backups and many other functions are also supported.
The router performs diagnostic functions including automatic monitoring of the PPP con-
nection, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that moni-
tors the router status. It is possible to insert Linux scripts in order to perform various actions. It
is also possible to create up to four different configurations for the same router. These configu-
rations can be switched between at any via the Web interface, SMS or binary input status. The
router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from a central server, allowing
for the mass reconfiguration of numerous routers at the same time.
The router also supports additional software such as R-SeeNet for permanent traffic mon-
itoring of routers.
