1Description
Wireless-MUX module with 16digital inputs,
16 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, and 2 analog
outputs
ILB BT ADIO MUX...
© PHOENIX CONTACT
Data sheet
The set consists of two modules that form a fixed pair as the
master and slave.
The Wireless-MUX module transmits 16digital and
2analog signals bidirectionally by means of wireless
communication. It therefore replaces a 40-wire signal cable.
The wireless solution has been developed specifically for
use under industrial conditions. It is reliable, robust, and
easy to handle.
Features
– Easy startup, plug and play
– Bar graph for wireless diagnostics
– Range of up to 400m outdoors
– 16 digital inputs
– 16 digital outputs
– Diagnostic and status indicators
– 2 analog single-ended signal inputs for the connection
of either voltage or current signals
– 2 analog single-ended signal outputs for the connection
of either voltage or current signals
Please note the maximum permissible transmission power for the country of use.

5 Safety regulations and installation notes
5.1 Intended use
The devices are intended for application in industrial
environments.
The wireless system is ClassA equipment and may cause
radio interference in residential areas. In this case, the
operator may be required to implement appropriate
measures and to pay the costs incurred as a result.
This device complies with R&TTE device class 1, with the
following restrictions on use according to ERC
recommendation 70-03:
Please note that, in combination with antennas, the
maximum permissible transmission power may be
exceeded. In this case, set the transmission power via the
software.
5.2 Installation notes
•Installation, operation, and maintenance may only be
carried out by qualified electricians. Follow the
installation instructions as described.
•When installing and operating the device, the
applicable regulations and safety directives (including
national safety directives), as well as general technical
regulations, must be observed. The technical data is
provided in the package slip and on the certificates
(conformity assessment, additional approvals where
applicable).
•The device must not be opened or modified. Do not
repair the device yourself, replace it with an equivalent
device. Repairs may only be carried out by the
manufacturer. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from violation.
•The IP20 protection (IEC 60529/EN 60529) of the
device is intended for use in a clean and dry
environment. The device must not be subject to
mechanical strain and/or thermal loads, which exceed
the limits described.
•The device complies with the EMC regulations for
industrial areas (EMC classA). When using the device
in residential areas, it may cause radio interference.
•The device is only intended for operation in the control
cabinet and with SELV according to IEC 60950/
EN 60950/VDE 0805. The device may only be
connected to devices, which meet the requirements of
EN 60950.
•Operation of the wireless system is only permitted when
using accessories available from Phoenix Contact. The
use of any other components can lead to the withdrawal
of the operating license.
Norway: The device must not be operated within
20km of Ny Ålesund town center.
Turkey: The device must only be operated with
PhoenixContact antennas - according to the
regulations in Gazette "Short Range Radio
Devices (SRD) Regulations" no. 26464 dated
16/03/2007.
Install the wireless module at least 1m away
from other devices using the 2.4GHz
frequency band (e.g., WLAN, Bluetooth,
microwave ovens). Otherwise, both the
transmission quality and data transmission
rate will be reduced.
WARNING:
Observe the following safety notes when
using the device.

ILB BT ADIO MUX...
Preliminary Preliminary Preliminary Preliminary
7173_en_11 PHOENIX CONTACT 10 / 18
5.3 FCC approval
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and
Industry Canada's licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not explicitly approved by
PhoenixContact could cause the device to cease to comply
with FCC rules Part15, and thus void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
Radio frequency exposure:
The device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. During
communication the device receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (microwaves) in the
frequency range of 2400MHz to 2483.5MHz.
RF Exposure Statement:
This equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your
body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
5.4 Approval for Japan
NOTE: Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference, in which case, the
user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
Japanese Radio Law and Japanese Telecommunications Business Law Compliance
The device is granted pursuant to the Japanese Radio Law ( ).

This device should not be modified (otherwise the granted designation number will
become invalid).

7.1 Terminal point assignment
Figure 3 Terminal point assignment
The feeding points have the same ground potential. All
ground supplies on a device are electrically connected with
one another.
The communications power is also electrically connected
via all contacts. In this way, it can supply all potentials with
just one feed-in, without the need for additional terminals.

11 Antennas
When installing two antennas, it is desirable to have a line of
sight between them wherever possible, as any obstacles
between the antennas will impair the connection.
The Fresnel zone, which extends around the direct
connecting line between transmitting and receiving
antennas, should also be taken into account. For an
optimum wireless connection, this zone must be free of
obstacles.
Figure 6 Fresnel zone
The radius of the Fresnel zone depends on the transmission
frequency and the distance between the transmitting and
receiving antennas. The radius corresponds to the minimum
height of the antenna mast if the terrain is flat.
Figure 7 Radius depending on the distance
Example: for a distance of 100meters, you must install the
antenna at a minimum height of 1.8meters. The Fresnel
zone can then be formed.
11.1 Omnidirectional antennas
Areas of application for omnidirectional antennas:
– Where the position of the transmitter and receiver may
change, e.g.,in moving applications
– In applications with no line of sight, because the signal
then travels from the transmitter to the receiver via
reflections
Assembly
Choose a location that provides a clear signal path in the
direction of the partner antenna. The ideal installation
location is the top of a mast or on a control cabinet. This
ensures that the antenna has the largest possible amount of
free space around it.
In this case, an omnidirectional antenna has almost uniform
directional characteristics over 360° on the horizontal plane.
Unfortunately, optimum installation of the antenna is not
always possible. If an omnidirectional antenna is mounted
on the side of a mast or control cabinet, specific distances
must be observed.

antenna with substantially reduced range (2)
•In order to achieve a high transmission speed, observe
the Link Quality display during startup.
•Install the antennas in such a way that at least three
LEDs light up.
Depending on the system, occasional fluctuations in the
display may occur during operation.

11.2 Range
Specifying ranges is very difficult due to the influence of
various factors. Based on practical tests, it is possible to
provide the following guide values. They may be
significantly higher or lower depending on the actual
application.
The range depends on the following:
– Length of the antenna cable (the shorter the cable, the
lower the attenuation)
– Antenna used
– Mounting location
– Line of sight
– Adherence to the Fresnel zone
In order to minimize signal losses, keep the antenna cable
as short as possible.
