Thank you for your selection of the 240U-E Wireless Ethernet Modem. We trust it
will give you many years of valuable service.




ATTENTION!
Incorrect termination of supply wires may
cause internal damage and will void warranty.
To ensure your 240U-E enjoys a long life,
double check ALL your connections with
the users manual

before turning the power on.



Caution!
For continued protection against risk of fire, replace the internal module fuse only with the same type
and rating.
CAUTION:
Antennas used with this device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm
from all persons to satisfy RF exposure compliance.
DO NOT:
operate the transmitter when someone is within 20 cm of the antenna
operate the transmitter unless all RF connectors are secure and any open connectors are properly
terminated.
operate the equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere

All equipment must be properly grounded for safe operations. All equipment should be serviced only
by a qualified technician. Chapter One

Important Notice
ELPRO products are designed to be used in industrial environments, by experienced industrial
engineering personnel with adequate knowledge of safety design considerations.
ELPRO radio products are used on unprotected license-free radio bands with radio noise and
interference. The products are designed to operate in the presence of noise and interference, however
in an extreme case, radio noise and interference could cause product operation delays or operation
failure. Like all industrial electronic products, ELPRO products can fail in a variety of modes due to
misuse, age, or malfunction. We recommend that users and designers design systems using design
techniques intended to prevent personal injury or damage during product operation, and provide
failure tolerant systems to prevent personal injury or damage in the event of product failure.
Designers must warn users of the equipment or systems if adequate protection against failure has not
been included in the system design. Designers must include this Important Notice in operating
procedures and system manuals.
These products should not be used in non-industrial applications, or life-support systems, without
consulting ELPRO Technologies first.
1.
A radio license is not required in some countries, provided the module is installed using the
aerial and equipment configuration described in the 240U-E Installation Guide. Check with
your local distributor for further information on regulations.
2.
Operation is authorized by the radio frequency regulatory authority in your country on a non-
protection basis. Although all care is taken in the design of these units, there is no
responsibility taken for sources of external interference. Systems should be designed to be
tolerant of these operational delays.
3.
To avoid the risk of electrocution, the aerial, aerial cable, serial cables and all terminals of the
240U-E module should be electrically protected. To provide maximum surge and lightning
protection, the module should be connected to a suitable earth and the aerial, aerial cable,
serial cables and the module should be installed as recommended in the Installation Guide.
4.
To avoid accidents during maintenance or adjustment of remotely controlled equipment, all
equipment should be first disconnected from the 240U-E module during these adjustments.
Equipment should carry clear markings to indicate remote or automatic operation. E.g. "This
equipment is remotely controlled and may start without warning. Isolate at the switchboard
before attempting adjustments."
5.
The 240U-E module is not suitable for use in explosive environments without additional
protection. 240U-E Wireless Ethernet
