Read this user manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
1.1 Identification of warning notes
1.2 Qualification of users
The use of products described in this user manual is oriented exclusively to electrically
skilled persons or persons instructed by them. The users must be familiar with the relevant
safety concepts of automation technology as well as applicable standards and other regu-
lations.
1.3 Field of application of the product
This product is recommended for use in both industrial and domestic environments.
Functional ground needs to be connected in industrial environments to comply with immu-
nity requirements. For domestic environments, functional ground must be omitted if a
shielded Ethernet cable is used, in order to meet the emission requirements.
Observe the permitted operating temperatures of the wireless module when using it out-
doors. The device is suitable for installation in protected outdoor areas (e.g., under a porch
roof). Direct sunlight may lead to overheating and permanent damage of the device.
Observe the applicable regulations for using wireless devices outdoors.
This symbol indicates hazards that could lead to personal injury.
There are three signal words indicating the severity of a potential injury.
DANGER

Grounding protects people and machines against hazardous voltages. To avoid these
dangers to the greatest extent possible, correct grounding, taking the local conditions into
account, is vital.
Functional grounding of the device:
The device must be connected to ground (functional earth ground) via the metal part of
the housing. If this is not possible, ensure a low-resistance ground connection (functional
earth ground) for the shielding of the Ethernet cable.

FL WLAN 1000/2000
18 / 40 PHOENIX CONTACT 109064_en_00
If this is not possible, e.g., because the device is installed on a plastic surface, make sure
that the Ethernet cable is properly shielded during mounting. This is particularly important if
the housing is not grounded by other means, e.g., via the base plate.
3.1.3 Mounting the device on a level surface
The devices in the FL WLAN 110x/210x series are suitable for external mounting on control
cabinets, machines, automatic guided vehicle (AGV) systems, or similar equipment.
To mount the device on a level surface, a bore hole is required for the mounting flange
(40 mm in diameter). You have to tighten the nut (8-10 Nm maximum) to ensure a tight seal.
You can secure the device additionally to the surface with two screws (M6). When using this
additional screw connection, make sure that the entire system is sealed tight.
You can install the device in any mounting position.

3.1.4 Mounting the device with cable feed-through and seal
When mounting the device outside the control cabinet (e.g., on a mounting bracket), you
can use a cable feed-through with seal to seal the connection dome for the supply line.
Screw the metal cable feed-through (FL M32 ADAPTER, Order No. 2702544) into the M32
internal thread of the FL WLAN 110x/210x connection dome. The FL WLAN 110x/210x is
therefore sealed acc. to IP54 even outdoors.
Figure 3-6 Mounting on a mounting bracket
If the device is not mounted directly on a control cabinet, use the FL M32 ADAPTER (Order
No. 2702544) to create the seal.
In this case, use for example the items 1421126, 1413163 or comparable RJ45 connectors
as connectors for the Ethernet cable.

3.1.4.1 Handling the FL M32 ADAPTER
Figure 3-7 Handling the FL M32 ADAPTER
3.1.4.2 Tightness of seal, retention, and strain relief (in accordance with EN
50262)
Tightening torque (double nipple): 15 Nm for M32
Tightening torque (pressure screw): 20 Nm for PG29
Tightness of seal for 7 mm hole pattern and 8.5 mm for cable:
IP65 degree of protection is achieved in accordance with DIN EN 60529(2014.09) if the dif-
ference between the cable diameter and hole is less than 10%.
If both are the same, IP68 can be achieved up to 10 bar with defined “retention” in accor-
dance with EN 50262 Class A. The tightness of seal and strain relief depend on the cable
used.
3.1.4.3 Mounting, taking the internal antennas into account
The FL WLAN 110x/210x has two internal antennas that transmit through the plastic hous-
ing. Take the following into account when mounting the device: In order to ensure that the
WLAN signal can be transmitted via the built-in antennas, the device should not be installed
inside control cabinets or other metal housings.
During the disassembly, make sure that no torsion forces act on the cables. For this, first
loosen the double nipple (1). Then remove the seal (2,3). Do not turn the pressure screw
(4) against the housing of the WLAN device beforehand.
The devices of the FL WLAN 110x/210x series contain internal antenna for WLAN com-
munication. You should therefore mount the device on the outside of metal objects to en-
sure that the WLAN signal can be transmitted.
