General Electrical Safety Warnings for EMS Hardware Equipment
Radio Frequency Interference
You can reduce or eliminate the emission of radio frequency interference (RFI) from your site wiring by using
twisted-pair network cabling with a good distribution of grounding conductors. If you must exceed the
recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data
signal when applicable.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), particularly from lightning or
radio transmitters, you might want to seek expert advice. Strong sources of electromagnetic interference
(EMI) can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the router and conduct power surges over the lines into
the equipment, resulting in an electrical hazard. It is particularly important to provide a properly grounded
and shielded environment and to use electrical surge-suppression devices.
AC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines
The i-MO 210 C Series appliance requires an AC supply of 100-240Volts, 50/60Hz and can draw a current of
up to 2 Amps.
i-MO routers are shipped with a three-wire electrical cord with a grounding-type plug that fits only a
grounding-type power outlet. Do not circumvent this safety feature. Equipment grounding should comply with
local and national electrical codes. The power cord serves as the main disconnecting device. The socket
outlet must be near the router and be easily accessible.

1) How to attach the WiFi antenna
The i-MO appliance is supplied with a WiFi interface. This can be enabled on request at time of order. If the
WiFi interface is enabled install the WiFi antennas on the WiFi aerial connectors ANT 7 and ANT 8 as shown
below. Fold the aerial and turn it so the aerial is pointing upwards as shown below.
Note: Connectors should be touch tight only! Do not over tighten.
2) How to attach the 3G/4G antennas
The i-MO 210 C Series 4G Router appliance is normally supplied with a minimum of 2 of 3G/4G aerials.
A variety of options are available. The aerials should be mounted external to any building or cabin and as
high as possible. The aerials should be spaced 1 metre apart.
When using two standard aerials, the connectors on the aerial cables must be attached to the aerial sockets
'ANT 1' and 'ANT 3' as shown below. These are the ‘Main’ sockets. Additional aerials can be connected to
‘Diversity’ sockets ‘ANT 2’ and ‘ANT 4’.
If using dual lead ‘MIMO’ aerials, connect the leads marked ‘Main’ to ‘ANT 1’ & ‘ANT 3’ and the leads marked
‘Diversity’ to ‘ANT 2’ & ‘ANT 4’.
Note: Connectors should be 'touch' tight only. DO NOT over-tighten!
