•
install modules only to the sites where they can be squirted or sprayed by water only occasionally and only
for a short time;
•
do not install modules to the sites where they can be dipped into the water.
Risks of damage of the device in waterproof
”IP68”
design caused by penetration of excessive humidity can be
eliminated by these precautions:
•
do not open the module with silicon filling without serious reason;
•
if (from some reason) the module was already opened, manipulate with it very carefully or renew its silicon
filling by pouring of a few milliliters of special silicon (same as original - consult the technique with manu-
facturer).
In case the module has been opened, there is no manufacturer’s guarantee of IP68
degree of protection.
;
•
install modules only to the sites where they can be dipped into the water only occasionally and only for a
short time;
•
do not install modules to the sites where their antenna could be submerged under water. Antenna must be
installed to such place, where there is no possibility to be flooded.
Operating of the module with antenna
submerged under water could cause irretrievable damage of the device!
4.2
The condition of modules on delivery
Modules are delivered in standard cardboard boxes. The modules are commonly delivered with battery switched
off. There is an exception in case the modules are delivered with additional sealing by silicon filling - in this case
the modules are switched on.
4.3
Modules storage
It is strongly recommended to store the modules in dry rooms or halls, in the temperature interval (0
÷
30)
◦
C. To prevent the unwanted discharging of internal battery it is recommended storing the modules with batteries
disconnected and activate the battery during mounting (with exception of modules with additional sealing by silicon
filling - see paragraph
4.4
Safety precautions
Warning!
Mechanical and electrical installation of the WB169-430 module can be provided only by a person with
necessary qualification in electrical engineering.
4.5
Environmental protection and recycling
The equipment contains non-rechargeable lithium battery. It is necessary to remove battery before module disposal
and dispose battery separately in compliance with the dangerous waste disposal rules. Damaged, destroyed or
discarded devices cannot be disposed as household waste. Equipment must be disposed of in the waste collection
yards, which dispose electronic waste. Information about the nearest collection yard can be provided by the relevant
local (municipal) authority.
4.6
WB169-430 module installation
WB169-430 radio modules are enclosed in plastic casings with an IP65 degree of protection equipped with mounts
for mounting on the wall, pipe or any other construction element. Battery switch, configuration connector as well
as antenna connector are placed on the module’s printed circuit board, so that it is necessary to open the casing to
access these elements.
Modules with additional silicon filling
(IP68 degree of protection) are delivered with mounted antenna, and
with battery switch in ”ON” position. Configuration of the module should be performed by USB-IRDA/BT-
IRDA optical converter as described in section
”
Setting of parameters by using of optical converter”.
It is
recommended do not open the casing during operation until it is really necessary, and if so, do it
very carefully.
