UNBOXING

• The Translator has removable top and bottom front plastics to cover screw housings.

• The Translator is housed in an IP Rated box, with knockouts for IP rated glands.

• 4 plastic screws are provided to secure the lid.

For more information, please refer to the complete product manual.

IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER

When mounting a wireless device a comprehensive radio survey

should have been carried out to establish the location that provides

the best coverage and optimum reach. Taking into consideration the building

structure and materials, the survey identiﬁes the wireless infrastructure

required and product locations for optimum performance, identifying

any factor that could prevent radio integrity.

Avoid ﬁxing or mounting the unit close to the following:

• Equipment that utilises large electrical currents

• Large metal objects or structures

• Fluorescent lighting ﬁttings

• Metal ceiling structures

• IT cabling.

Keep 2 meters minimum spacing between other wireless equipment

in the area to avoid signal interference.

EN54 approved environmental temperature range is -10°C to +55°C

MOUNTING STEPS

The Translator Module is IP65 rated, suitable for external mounting. The back box must be installed on the wall

as ﬂat as possible to retain IP rating, to prevent distortion of the housing and the ingress of contamination and/or moisture.

Proceed as follows to complete the device installation.

Remove top and bottom front plastics that cover screws,

unscrew all four screws and remove the lid from the back box.

Using a suitable-sized drill bit (4mm) drill the pre-deﬁned

screw mounting points in the 4 corners of the backbox.

SCREWS

Remove the electronic PCB assembly from the enclosure.

The PCB is held by two Philips screws below the display,

it then slides up and out.

Prepare apertures (20mm knockouts) required for cable

access and ﬁt appropriate rated glands.

Screw the back box to the wall using all ﬁxing holes

and appropriate-sized roundhead screws (do not use

countersunk screws).

Insert cable, tighten glands and reﬁt PCB and securing screws.

Clear Wiring Terminals: The loop connector on the translator board is clearly labeled with terminals for loop in/out negative and positive connections, ensuring correct wiring and simplifying fault diagnosis.
Battery Access: While the guide mentions a CR2032 battery, its specific location for replacement is not detailed in the provided excerpts but is implied by its inclusion.
Diagnostic Indicators: The module includes terminals for fault monitoring (e.g., Battery Fault, Mains Fault, Battery Charger Fault, Battery O/C), which aid in quickly identifying and addressing system issues.
Comprehensive Documentation: The quick start guide directs users to a complete product manual for more detailed information, ensuring that comprehensive support is available for maintenance and advanced configurations.
Radio Survey Requirement: Before mounting, a comprehensive radio survey is recommended to ensure optimal coverage and radio integrity, which is a crucial preventative maintenance step to avoid future communication issues. This includes identifying factors that could prevent radio integrity, such as large electrical currents, metal objects, fluorescent lighting, metal ceilings, and IT cabling. A minimum spacing of 2 meters from other wireless equipment is advised to prevent signal interference.
