1.5 SET button

1.5 SET button

With a SCALANCE M-800, the SET button is on the front of the housing beside the LED
display.

The SET button has the following functions:

● Restart
Hold down the button for longer than 3 seconds to run a restart.
● Loading new firmware
If the normal procedure with the "Load & Save" menu of Web Based Management does
not work, the reset button can be used to load new firmware. This situation can occur if
there is a power outage during the normal firmware update.
– Hold down the button until the red fault LED (F) starts to flash after approximately 3
seconds.
– Now release the button. The bootloader waits in this status for a new firmware file that
you can download using TFTP.
You will find more information in the section "Service and Maintenance" in the
SCALANCE M-800 Web Based Management configuration manual.

1.6 C-PLUG and KEY-PLUG

1.6 C-PLUG and KEY-PLUG

How it works
The C-PLUG or KEY-PLUG is used to transfer the configuration of the old device to the new
device when a device is replaced.

NOTICE
Do not remove or insert a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG during operation!
A PLUG may only be removed or inserted when the device is turned off.
The device checks whether or not a PLUG is present at one second intervals. If it is
detected that the PLUG was removed, there is a restart.
If a valid KEY-PLUG was inserted in the device, the device changes to a defined error state
following the restart.

When the new device starts up with the PLUG, it then continues automatically with exactly
the same configuration as the old device. One exception to this can be the IP configuration if
it is set over DHCP and the DHCP server has not been reconfigured accordingly.
A reconfiguration is necessary if you use functions based on MAC addresses.
If an incorrect PLUG, for example from another product or a damaged PLUG is inserted, the
device signals an error with the "F" LED.
You can either remove the PLUG again or select the option to reformat the PLUG.
In terms of the PLUG, devices work in two modes:
● Without PLUG
The device stores the configuration in internal memory. This mode is active when no
PLUG is inserted.
● With PLUG
The configuration stored on the PLUG is displayed in WBM in "Information > PLUG". If
changes are made to the configuration, the device stores the configuration directly on the
PLUG and in the internal memory. This mode is active as soon as a PLUG is inserted. As
soon as the device is started with a PLUG inserted, the device starts up with the
configuration data on the PLUG.

3.5 Digital input/output

The digital input/output (relay contact) is a floating switch with which error/fault states can be
signaled by breaking the contact.

CAUTION
Damage due to voltage being too high or too low
The voltage at the digital input/output must not exceed 30 VDC and not fall below -30 VDC,
otherwise the digital input/output will be destroyed.

Note
Use the antennas from the accessories program for the M-800 device. You will find more
detailed information in "Accessories (Page 13)". If you use a different antenna, there is no
guarantee that the device will function according to the specification.

The antenna socket for connecting the antenna is of the type SMA. The antenna used
should have an impedance of about 50 ohms.

CAUTION
Minimum clearance to the device
The device may only be operated when the distance between the device (or antenna) and
user is at least 20 cm.

Notes on lightning protection

WARNING
Danger due to lightning strikes
Antennas installed outdoors must be within the area covered by a lightning protection
system. Make sure that all conducting systems entering from outdoors are protected by
lightning protection electrical bonding.
When implementing your lightning protection concept, make sure you adhere to the
requirements of the VDE 0182 or IEC 62305 standards.

Suitable lightning protectors are available in the range of accessories of SIMATIC NET
Industrial WLAN:
● Lightning protector LP798-1N (order no. 6GK5798-2LP00-2AA6)
● Lightning protector LP798-2N (order no. 6GK5798-2LP10-2AA6)

Note
We recommend that you use the maintenance-free lightning protector LP798-2N.
Exception:
When there is also DC power supplied via the antenna cable. In this case, only the
lightning protector LP798-1N can be used.

WARNING
Danger due to lightning strikes
Installing this lightning protector between an antenna and a SCALANCE M-800 is not
adequate protection against a lightning strike. The LP798-1N lightening protector only
works within the framework of a comprehensive lightning protection concept. If you have
questions, ask a qualified specialist company.

Note
The requirements of EN61000-4-5, "Surge Immunity Test" on power supply lines with 24
VDC are met only when a Blitzductor is used:
24 VDC: BVT AVD 24 type no. 918 422
Vendor: DEHN+SÖHNE GmbH+Co.KG, Hans Dehn Str. 1, Postfach 1640, D -
92306 Neumarkt, Germany

Frequency bands in Europe, China, the USA and other regions

Depending on the frequency bands used by your mobile wireless provider, antennas must be
tuned to the following frequencies:
● In Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Australia:
– GSM 900 MHz
– DCS 1800 MHz
– UMTS 2100 MHz
● In the USA:
– GSM 850 MHz
– PCS 1900 MHz (also for UMTS)
Check with your mobile wireless provider for the suitable frequencies.

Signal quality
During installation make sure that there is a good signal strength of > -73 dBm.
If the "Q" LED is lit permanently, the signal quality is good. For more detailed information,
refer to the section "LED display (Page 14)".
Avoid large metal objects in the immediate vicinity.

3.8 Replacing the PLUG

NOTICE
Do not remove or insert a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG during operation!
A PLUG may only be removed or inserted when the device is turned off.
The device checks whether or not a PLUG is present at one second intervals. If it is
detected that the PLUG was removed, there is a restart. If a valid KEY-PLUG was inserted
in the device, the device changes to a defined error state following the restart. With
SCALANCE M, the wireless interface is deactivated in this case.

Inserting the PLUG

1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. The housing of the PLUG has a protruding ridge on the long side. The slot has a groove
at this position.
Insert the PLUG correctly oriented into the slot.

Mandatory user information
FCC Part 15
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy.
If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, this may cause harmful
interference to wireless communications. There can be no guarantee with certain
installations, even when complying with the instructions, that no interference will occur. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception that can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is recommended to try to combat
the interference with the following measures:
● Change the orientation of the receiving antenna or install it at a different location.
● Increase the distance between the SCALANCE M874-3, M876-3 and the radio or
television receiver.
● Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
● Consult the dealer / installer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
FCC Part 15.19
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
