Grounding protects people and machines against hazardous voltages. To avoid these
dangers as far as 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 110x and FL WLAN 210x: it is recommended that the base plate of the device is
grounded by connecting the mounting screws to a grounded metal surface (functional earth
ground/FE).
If this is not possible, e.g., because the device is installed on a plastic surface, you must
make sure that the Ethernet cable is properly shielded. This is particularly important if the
housing is not grounded by other means, e.g., via the base plate.
2.1.3 Mounting the device on a level surface
The devices in the FL WLAN 110x/210x series are designed for external mounting on con-
trol 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). The nut must be tightened (8-10 Nm maximum) to ensure a tight seal. The
device can be additionally secured to the surface with two screws (M6). When using this ad-
ditional screw connection, make sure that the entire system is sealed tight.
The device can be installed in any mounting position.

2.1.4 Mounting the device with cable feed-through and seal
When mounting the device outside the control cabinet (e.g., on a mounting bracket), a cable
feed-through with seal can be used to seal the connection dome for the supply line. The
metal cable feed-through (FL M32 ADAPTER, Order No. 2702544) screws into the M32 in-
ternal thread of the FL WLAN 110x connection dome. The FL WLAN 110x is therefore
sealed to IP54 even outdoors.
Figure 2-7 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.

Figure 2-8 Handling the FL M32 ADAPTER
2.1.4.2 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 protection is achieved in accordance with DIN EN 60529(2014.09) if the difference be-
tween 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.
2.1.4.3 Mounting taking the internal antennas into consideration
The FL WLAN 110x/210x has two internal antennas which transmit through the plastic
housing. This must be taken into consideration when mounting the device: in order to en-
sure that the WLAN signal can be transmitted via the built-in antennas, the device must not
be installed inside control cabinets or other metal housings.
The devices in the FL WLAN 110x/210x series have internal antennas for WLAN commu-
nication. The device should therefore be mounted on the outside of metal objects to en-
sure that the WLAN signal can be transmitted.

In order to optimize the device's performance with respect to transmission, the same rules
that apply when mounting antennas should be observed. An important criterion here is the
lateral distance from conductive surfaces. These surfaces can influence the radio propaga-
tion (directional characteristics of the antenna) due to reflections and interference.
Figure 2-9 Mounting distance from lateral conductive surfaces
Due to its internal antennas, the device should not be located too close to conductive ob-
jects, if possible. Keep a distance of more than 100 mm, if possible. Smaller distances are
possible, but they may adversely affect transmission.
