An antenna must always be connected to the antenna connector as soon as the WLAN 
interface is switched on. Otherwise, ther
e may be transmission disruptions. 
Note 
Cabinet installation
 
When installing the SCALANCE WxM766
-1 in a cabinet, you need to use detached 
antennas. Use a suitable flexible connecting cable for a connection between SCALANCE 
WxM766

 (Page 21). 
 
NOTICE 
UL approval only for use in buildings 
Within the area of authority of the NEC and CEC, the SCALANCE WxM766-1 devices 
and the antennas connected to them may only be used in a closed building. For this 
reason, do not lead antennas into the outdoor area if you need to meet UL or CSA 
requirements. 
6.5  Digital input/output 
The device features a digital input and output (M12 A-coded).  
 
CAUTION 
Damage due to voltage being too high or too low 
The voltage at the digital input/output must not exceed 30 VDC and not fall below -30 
VDC, otherwise the digital input/output will be destroyed. 
 
To avoid evaluating an interference pulse, the pulse for the signal 1 (TRUE / HIGH) must 
be at least 200
 ms.
