The supplied connector is an FMC 1,5/ 3-STF-3,5 (Order No. 1966101).
A cable with a cross section of 0.75 mm2and a trapezoidal or square crimped ferrule that
is 10 mm long is recommended.
Always use the appropriate conductor cross section and ferrules to ensure that the cable
is fixed securely.

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 1100/1101
14 PHOENIX CONTACT 107390_en_01
FL WLAN 1100 and FL WLAN 1101: 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 series are designed for external mounting on control cab-
inets, 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 additional 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 1100 connection dome. The FL WLAN 1100 is therefore
sealed to IP54 even outdoors.
Figure 2-6 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.

2.1.4.1 Handling the FL M32 ADAPTER
Figure 2-7 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 1100 has two internal antennas which transmit through the plastic housing.
This must be taken into consideration when mounting the device: in order to ensure 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 series have internal antennas for WLAN communica-
tion. The device should therefore be mounted on the outside of metal objects so as to en-
sure that the WLAN signal can be transmitted.
