Danger to life from overvoltage, fire hazard
When using outdoor antennas, the shared or even grounded pin of the circuit must be
connected to the shield of the coaxial cable and with all touchable conductive parts and
circuits. Otherwise, in the event of a fault there may be illegally high voltages on touchable
parts.
Damage to the device due to potential differences
To fully eliminate the influence of electromagnetic interference, the device must be
grounded. There must be no potential difference between the following parts, otherwise the
device or other connected device could be severely damaged:
• Housing of the SCALANCE W700 and the ground potential of the antenna.
• Housing of the SCALANCE W700 and the ground potential of a device connected over
Ethernet.
• Housing of the SCALANCE W700 and the shield contact of the connected Ethernet
cable.
Connect both grounds to the same foundation earth or use an equipotential bonding cable.
SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS I, DIVISION
2 OR ZONE 2.
DO NOT OPEN WHEN ENERGIZED.
