6.3 Connecting the Network Cables
Danger to life due to electric shock in case of overvoltages and if surge
protection is missing
Overvoltages (e. g. in the event of a flash of lightning) can be further conducted into the building
and to other connected devices in the same network via the network cables or other data cables
if there is no surge protection. Touching live parts and cables results in death or lethal injuries due
to electric shock.
• Ensure that all devices in the same network are integrated in the existing overvoltage
protection.
• When laying the network cable outdoors, ensure that there is suitable surge protection at
the network cable transition from the product outdoors to the network inside the building.
• The Ethernet interface of the product is classified as "TNV-1" and offers protection against
overvoltages of up to 1.5 kV.
Additionally required material (not included in the scope of delivery):
☐ Network cable
☐ Where required: Field-assembly RJ45 connector.
Additionally required material for the use of conduits (not included in the scope of
delivery):
☐ Conduit (trade size: 27 mm (1 in) or smaller with suitable reducer bush)
☐ Rain-tight or conduit fittings for wet locations complying with UL 514B (trade size: 27 mm
(1 in) or smaller with suitable reducing bush)
Network cable requirements:
The cable length and quality affect the quality of the signal. Observe the following cable

☐ Shielding: SF/UTP, S/UTP, SF/FTP or S/FTP
☐ Number of insulated conductor pairs and insulated conductor cross-section: at least 2 x 2 x
0.22 mm² (2 x 2 x 24 AWG)
☐ Maximum cable length between 2 nodes when using patch cables: 50 m (164 ft)
☐ Maximum cable length between 2 nodes when using installation cables: 100 m (328 ft)
☐ UV-resistant for outdoor use.
