INTERFACE
Wireless communication is based on Trusted Wireless 2.0
technology. The high demand for a interference-free data
transmission using the license-free 900 MHz band, in partic-
ular via the use of the FHSS method (FHSS) and 128-bit
data encryption (AES), is fulfilled.
In addition to an RS-232 and RS-485 2-wire interface, the
RAD-900-IFS wireless module supports the option of di-
rectly connecting up to 32 I/O extension modules in the sta-
tion structure via the TBUS DIN rail connector.
Addressing of the wireless module and I/O mapping of the I/
O extension modules is carried out quickly and easily by
means of the thumbwheel on the front. Programming knowl-
edge is not required.
The PSI-CONF configuration and diagnostics software for
special functionality and diagnostic options in the wireless
module is available free of charge.
Features
– Flexible network applications: I/O data, serial data,
PLC/Modbus RTU mode
– Adjustable data rates for the wireless interface
– Easy point-to-point or network structures (star, repeat-
er)
– Quick and easy startup thanks to simple wireless mod-
ule addressing using the thumbwheel on the front
– Integrated RS-232 and RS-485 interface
– Can be extended with up to 32 I/O modules per station
via T-BUS (hot-swappable)
– 128-bit data encryption (AES)
– Unique network addressing via plug-in configuration
memory (RAD-CONF) for secure, parallel operation of
multiple networks (different RF bands)
– Data rates and ranges can be adjusted

5 Safety regulations and installation
notes
5.1 Installation notes
The use of antennas with a gain greater than 6dBi may re-
quire that the transmit power be reduced from the default
setting of 30 dBm. Regulations limit the equivalent isotropi-
cally-radiated power (EIRP) to 36dBm. The EIRP may be
calculated as the transmit power (Pt) minus any cable loss
(Lc) plus the antenna gain (Ga).
For example, in the case of a 12dBi antenna used with a
cable run with a 4dB loss, the transmit power must be re-
duced to 28dBm or less such that the EIRP does not exceed
36dBm.
5.2 Installation and operation
Follow the installation instructions.
Error-free operation of this device can only be ensured if
transport, storage, and assembly are carried out correctly
and operation and maintenance are carried out with care.
When installing and operating the device, the applicable
safety directives (including national safety directives), acci-
dent prevention regulations, as well as general technical
regulations, must be observed.
Provide a switch/circuit breaker close to the device, which is
labeled as the disconnect device for this device.
Provide overcurrent protection (I≤6A) in the installation.
5.3 Safety regulations for installation in potentially
explosive areas
Installation in areas with a danger of dust explosions
Please note that, in combination with anten-
nas, the maximum permissible transmission
power may be exceeded. Please set the
transmission power via the software.
EIRP = Pt - Lc + Ga
The PSI-CONF configuration and diagnostic
software can be used to configure the transmit
power.
Operation of the wireless system is only per-
mitted if accessories available from Phoenix
Contact are used. The use of other accessory
components may invalidate the device ap-
proval status.
NOTE:Installation, operation, and mainte-
nance may only be carried out by qualified
specialist personnel.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock
During operation, certain parts of this device
may carry hazardous voltages. Disregarding
this warning may result in damage to equip-
ment and/or serious personal injury.
NOTE: Access to circuits within the device is
not permitted.
During maintenance work, disconnect the de-
vice from all effective power sources.
NOTE: The IP20 degree of protection (IEC
60529/EN 60529) of the device is intended for
a clean and dry environment. Do not subject
the device to mechanical and/or thermal loads
that exceed the specified limits.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
The device has not been designed for use in
potentially dust-explosive atmospheres.

5.4 Conformance
FCC
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's au-
thority to operate the equipment.
This equipment complies with the FCC RF radiation expo-
sure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum
distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.
– FCC certificate: SGV-SHR-900
Industry Canada (IC)
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the an-
tenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equiv-
alent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than
that permitted for successful communication.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas
listed in this document and having a maximum gain of
12dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain
greater than 12dB are strictly prohibited for use with this de-
vice. The required antenna impedance is 50Ω.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter
may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum
(or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Can-
ada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users,
the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more
than that necessary for successful communication.
– IC certificate: IC4270C-SHR900
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital de-
vice, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commer-
cial 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 harm-
ful interference to radio communications. Op-
eration 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.
