2.2. Safety Information
Before installation:
Read this manual completely and gather all information available on the product. Make sure
it is fully understood. Check that your application does not exceed the safe operating
specifications for the product.
WARNING - SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION
The product must be installed and operated by qualified service personnel
and installed into an apparatus cabinet or similar, where access is
restricted to service personnel only. For Ibex products, outdoor
installation is allowed.
During installation, ensure a protective earthing conductor is first
connected to the protective earthing terminal (only valid for metallic
housings). Westermo recommends a cross-sectional area of at least 4
mm2.
Upon removal of the product, ensure that the protective earthing
conductor is disconnected last.
WARNING - HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
Do not open an energised product. Hazardous voltage may occur when
connected to a power supply.
WARNING - PROTECTIVE FUSE
The power supply wiring must be sufficiently fused.
It must be possible to disconnect manually from the power supply. Ensure
compliance to national installation regulations.
Replacing the internal fuse must only be performed by Westermo qualified
personnel.
WARNING - POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
There are safety regulations governing the power source that can be used
in conjunction with the product. Refer to Interface Specifications.

Observe the usage limitations of radio products at filling stations, in
chemical plants, in systems with explosives or potentially explosive
locations.
The product may not be used in airplanes. Exercise particular caution near
personal medical aids, such as pacemakers and hearing aids. Never
perform work on the antenna system during a thunderstorm.
To fulfill human safety, a minimum separation distance of 20 cm or more
should be maintained between the antenna of the product and personnel
during operation.
CAUTION - HOT SURFACE
Be aware that the surface of this product may become hot. When it is

4. Installation
4.1. Mounting
The product is fixed with the four fixing points located at the corners of the product. M5
or M6 screws are used for the fixation of the product. The screws are tightened with min.
3.0 Nm (fixing screw ISO 898/1, quality class 8.8).
NOTICE
All four specified fixing points must be used for fixing. The installation
surface should be flat to have all fixing points connected to the surface.
NOTE
For indoor installation, consider additional protection against dust to
ensure proper heat dissipation.
NOTE
For outdoor installation, consider additional protection against sun
radiation, dust and dirt to optimize ambient temperature range.
NOTE
Unused connectors must be covered by a protective cap (delivered with
the product), tightened to the specified torque in order to fulfill the
specified ingress protection code.
4.2. Factory Reset
To reset the product into factory default settings, a reset adapter is needed which is
plugged into one of the Ethernet ports X1 or X2 during startup.
Art. no. Description
3623-0799 Factory Reset Plug, X-coded
Factory reset procedure
1. Plug the factory reset adapter to one of the Ethernet interfaces.
Ibex-RT-310 and -320 Series 19

2. Power the product.
3. Wait until factory reset adapter is detected. This is indicated by solid ORANGE OPR
LED and RED ERR LED.
4. Remove factory reset adapter within 15 seconds.
5. Successful initiation of the factory reset is indicated by blinking ORANGE OPR LED
and RED ERR LED.
4.3. Earth connection
For correct function, the earth connection at the grounding point needs to be properly
connected to a solid ground. An M5 grounding screw at the housing is used for grounding.
A short wire with a cross section of at least 4 mm2 shall be used. The grounding wire is set
below the rip-lock washer. The nut is fixed for good reliable grounding contact. The
tightening torque of the nut shall be 2.0 Nm.
