Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 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 and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
FOR PORTABLE DEVICE USAGE (<20m from body/SAR needed)
Radiation Exposure Statement:
The product comply with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for
intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be
kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.
FOR MOBILE DEVICE USAGE (>20cm/low power)
Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
FOR COUNTRY CODE SELECTION USAGE (WLAN DEVICES)
Note: The country code selection is for non-US model only and is not available to all US model. Per FCC regulation, all
WiFi product marketed in US must fixed to US operation channels only.

1.6 Hardware Installation
This chapter describes how to install and configure the hardware
1.6.1 Mount the Unit
The IOT400 series products can be placed on a desktop, or use extender to place on DIN-Rail bracket or mount
on the wall.
1.6.2Connecting I/O Devices
The IOT400-DL101 provides a 10-pin terminal block for one serial console port, one digital input (DI), one
digital output (DO), one analog input (AI), and DC Power (DC5~12V) ports. Connect the field device(s) to the
I/O ports with the right pin assignments as shown below.
