SAFETY INFORMATION
• Please read the configuration and installation manuals carefully before installing and using
any of our products, especially for output power and frequency bands of the radio modules.
You can download the manuals after registration in the Download Center
(https://downloadcenter.eltec.de/login) on our website www.eltec.com.
• Allow only appropriately trained personnel to handle the devices and observe the
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protective measurements. Also, the internal SIM cards are only
allowed to be installed, taken into operation and replaced by qualified and trained staff.
Furthermore, ESD protection measures must be taken.
• Usage restriction: The designated product may only be used in an industrial environment
(Class A product) in accordance to the specifications stated in the manuals.
• The device can become very hot during operation (> 80°C).
• Make sure the device is protected from accidental contact.
• The device must be installed inaccessible to children.
• For optimal heat dissipation the connectors should face downwards.
• Do not install the device close to any sources of heat, such as radiators or heating ducts.
• Keep the device away from any liquids and avoid exposure to dripping or splashing. The
protection class of the housing is IP 40.
• The device can be operated with voltages higher than 60 VDC.
• Incorrect handling can cause a fatal electrical shock.
• Before connecting the power supply, connect the device to protective earth.
• To prevent the risk of electric shock, turn off the external power supply and remove the
power supply cable from the electrical outlet before handling or disassembling the system.
• When connecting or disconnecting devices to or from the system ensure that the power
cables of the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before connecting the device.
• Before connecting or removing signal cables ensure that all power cables are unplugged.
• When using 5G, LTE, WLAN or GNSS interfaces connect an appropriate antenna to the QLS
built-in socket.
• At least 20 cm separation distance between the antenna and the user’s body must be always
maintained.
