How to Use this Guide
This guide provides basic instructions on how to install and wire an IONizer device. You should read ALL
chapters for important information before attempting the installation.

Chapter 1
IONizer Device Overview
Introduction
This guide provides information on how to install Apprion™IONizer devices. The IONizer provides an
integrated set of modular hardware and software services that facilitate creation, control and
monitoring of secure device networks for the modern plant. The IONizer is a wireless transceiver that
serves as the center point of an independent wireless network, or as the connection point between
wireless and wired networks. Designed for the industrial applications market, IONizer models are IEEE
802.11a/b/g/i/j compliant depending on the radios installed. This platform is specifically designed to
address the wireless connectivity needs of high-security industrial environments.
All IONizer devices are remotely configured and all can take on one or more forms within the network.
This means that each IONizer can be configured to suit client requirements.
This guide deals with installation only. Configuration instructions are provided in the IONizer Reference
Guide.
IONizer 4000 Series Models
IONizers in the 4000 Series are designed for deployment in ordinary locations and may be mounted
indoors or outdoors. These devices cannot be deployed in hazardous locations. IONizers can be ordered
with one or two radios. In addition, some IONizers in this series contain a WiHART gateway. All models
are capable of being powered by 48 VDC PoE or 24 VDC external power.
WARNING: IONizer 4000 Series devices are to be used in ordinary locations only. Installation
in an operating atmosphere that is not certified for the device could result in an explosion
that could cause death or serious injury.
The IONizers in this series come in different configurations based on Model Number.
IONizer models in this series include:
IONizer 4000-200 (Single Radio)
IONizer 4000-220 (Two Radios)
IONizer 4020-200 (Single Radio, Embedded WiHART)
IONizer 4020-220 (Two Radios, Embedded WiHART)
All IONizer s use 48V Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 24V external power. The IONizer 4020 is identical to
the 4000 but also contains an embedded WiHART gateway.

FCC regulations require that IONizer devices be professionally installed by an installer
certified by the National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers or
equivalent institution.
Safety Information
The FCC, with its action in Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. When used with approved
Apprion antennas, the IONizer 4000 products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-
65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper installation of this radio product according to the instructions found in
this guide will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
CAUTION: Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
CAUTION: Do not hold any component containing a radio such that the antenna is very
close to, or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face and eyes, while
transmitting.
CAUTION: Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is
connected. Damage could occur.
WARNING: Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an
explosive environment unless it is a type specifically qualified for such use.
WARNING: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antennas used
with the IONizer must be installed with a minimum separation distance of 25.26 cm from
all persons, except the 16 dBi Sector Antenna (Apprion P/N 89-1186-000) and the 19 dBi
Directional Antenna (Apprion P/N 89-1187-000) which must be installed with a minimum
separation distance of 48.97 cm from all persons.
The 16 dBi Sector Antenna (Apprion P/N 89-1186-000) and the 19 dBi Directional Antenna
(Apprion P/N 89-1187-000) are to be used for Point-to-Point operation only.
Antennas must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna
transmitter unless separated by 20 cm or greater.
CAUTION: 5150 –5250 MHz frequency band is for indoor use only.
