2.7 Anti-corrosion measures to protect the metal parts of the device
during transportation, storing or at its final location
As far as the metal housing is concerned, the APR2044ax was designed to be placed in an enclosed location, pro-
tected from bad weather; never to be exposed to any extreme environmental conditions.
The housing is made out of electrogalvanized iron and has an external powder paint coating based on epoxy and
polyester resins, added for aesthetic and anti-corrosion purposes. These characteristics give the housing the ability
to withstand the effects of external corrosive agents (oxidation) to which the device might be exposed during trans-
portation, storage or at its final location. As previously mentioned, these locations must always be indoors, sheltered,
and not exposed to extreme environmental or weather conditions.
External paint's resistance to corrosion.
Humidity cabinet DIN 50017 No change after 500 hours
Salt fog chamber ASTM B117-97 500 hours
However, there are various considerations and measures that need to be taken into account during the transporta-
tion, storage and final deployment of devices to prevent the metal parts from rusting.
• Devices should be stored indoors or in places that are dry, clean and away
from chemicals.
• Do not subject the devices to sudden rapid changes in temperature that could
lead to condensation (which, in turn, will cause the metal parts in the devices
to rust). Try to maintain the devices at as constant a temperature as possible.
• During transportation and storage, place the device on a wooden or plastic
pallet in order to avoid direct contact with the ground.
Never store the device outdoors. If this is unavoidable, take the following steps and make sure the situation lasts as
little as possible.
Teldat S.A. 2 Installation
APR2044ax 9

• Protect the devices with a waterproof cover (made out of plastic, canvas or a
similar material).
• Try to leave some space between the devices and the waterproof cover to al-
low some air circulation.
• Keep the devices on wooden or plastic pallets and never in direct contact with
the ground. Try to set the pallet at a slight angle to allow any water that might
occasionally collect on the waterproof cover to drain off.
• Check the storage area regularly to make sure there is no moisture or con-
densation build-up on or around the stored devices.
As mentioned above, keep the device outdoors for as little as possible, especially in seasons with extreme temperat-
ures that can accelerate the oxidization of metal parts.
2.8 Cleaning
You can clean your device easily. Use a damp or anti-static cloth. Do not use solvents. Never use a dry cloth since
the electrostatic charge could cause electronic failure. Make sure that no moisture can enter the device and cause
damage.
2.9 Pin assignments
2.9.1 Ethernet interface
Your device has two Ethernet interfaces. These are used to connect individual PCs or other switches.
The connection is made via an M12 8P X-Code female socket.
The pin assignment is as follows:
PIN GE Signal -> Signal M12 8P X-Code female connector
1 BI-DA+ ->Tx+ (1)
2 BI-DA- -> Tx- (2)
3 BI-DB+ -> Rx+ (3)
4 BI-DB- -> Rx- (6)
5 BI-DD+ (4)
6 BI-DD-(5)
7 BI-DC-(7)
8 BI-DC+(8)
Note
To install the LAN cable using the M12 Male cable connector, the maximum tightening torque allowed
is 0,4Nm. Higher values may damage the M12 router connector. After its initial connection, frequent
checkups must be carried out to ensure its correct fitting.

Note
Connections 1-2 and 3-4 are redundant. We recommend keeping this redundancy to guarantee device
availability.
Note
To install the power cable using the M12 cable connector, the maximum tightening torque allowed is
0,4Nm. Higher values may damage the router connector. After its initial connection, frequent checkups
must be carried out to ensure its correct fitting.
Note
The power cable is not supplied with the device. Any cable with four conductors and a gauge greater
than, or equal to, 0.75 mm2 (AWG18) is acceptable. The type of cable and its gauge, however, will be
determined by the characteristics of the female connector used.
You don't need a shielded cable. However, if you intend to use one, we recommend attaching the cable
to the grounding point on the other side of the router, to the ground point on the power supply or to
both.
The cable must be certified in terms of flammability. A CE or UL marking is necessary to ensure this.
2.10 Frequencies and channels
Different certification regulations apply around the world. ETSI standards generally apply (predominantly used in
Europe). For operation in Europe, please read the notes in the RED Compliance Information.
2.11 Support information
Teldat, S.A. offers a technical support service. The device software can be regularly updated for maintenance pur-
poses and to add new features.
