RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION AND INDUSTRY CANADA RADIO
FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy, and if not
installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the
specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause interference, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take
whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les
limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règle-
ment sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

Safety When Working With Electricity
SAFETY WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY
• This device contains no user serviceable parts. This
device can only be repaired by qualified
service personnel.
• Do not open the device when the power cord is con-
nected. For systems without a power switch and without
an external power adapter, line voltages are present
within the device when the power cord is connected.
• For devices with an external power adapter, the power
adapter shall be a listed Limited Power Source. The
mains outlet that is utilized to power the device shall be
within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily
accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in compli-
ance with local regulatory requirements.
• For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable
used meets all applicable standards for the country in
which it is to be installed.
• For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor power
plugs (L1, L2 & GND or Hot, Neutral & Safety/Protective
Ground), the wall outlet (or socket) must have an
earth ground.
• For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnecting
cables are rated for proper voltage, current, anticipated
temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
• WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have hazard-
ous voltages present regardless of whether the device is
powered ON or OFF. PSTN relates to interfaces such as
telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL, T1, E1, ISDN,
Voice, etc. These are known as “hazardous network volt-
ages” and to avoid electric shock use caution when
working near these ports. When disconnecting cables
for these ports, detach the far end connection first.
• Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect
cables during periods of lightning activity.

In accordance with the requirements of council
directive 2002/96/EC on Waste of Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), ensure that at
end-of-life you separate this product from other
waste and scrap and deliver to the WEEE col-
lection system in your country for recycling.
This device contains no user serviceable parts.
This device can only be repaired by qualified
service personnel.
This device is NOT intended nor approved for
connection to the PSTN. It is intended only for
connection to customer premise equipment.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage
equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It
occurs whenelectronic printed circuit cards are
improperly handled and can result in complete
or intermittent failures. Do the following to pre-
vent ESD:
• Always follow ESD prevention procedures
when removing and replacing cards.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensur-
ing that it makes good skin contact. Connect
the clip to an unpainted surface of the chas-
sis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD
voltages to ground.
• To properly guard against ESD damage and
shocks, the wrist strap and cord must oper-
ate effectively. If no wrist strap is available,
ground yourself bytouching the metal part of
the chassis.

1.2 DESCRIPTION
The Black Box LB532A-L and LB532A-R Industrial Ethernet Extenders are easy to use
and take advantage of existing copper twisted-pair infrastructure to connect Ethernet
networks or devices at high speeds over long distances. The LB532A-L and LB532A-R
deliver speeds up to 5.696 Mbps with distances ranging from 3.5 to 5.48 km (2.2 to 3.4
miles) on standard 0.5 mm (24 AWG) voice-grade twisted pair. Whether setting up a
private network backbone to a corporate LANs or remote office or connecting network
enabled devices such as PCs, digital sensors or IP cameras—Black Box Ethernet
Extenders offer the best combination of speed and distance in the industry. The
LB532A-L and LB532A-R temperature specs allow for operation at -40 to 85ºC.
1.3 POWER INPUT CONNECTOR
The LB532A-L and LB532A-R come with an external AC universal power supply. (For
additional specifications and details on power and power supply, see Appendix A.5 on
page 22.)
• The power connection to the LB532A-L and LB532A-R is a terminal block
• Rated voltage: 5 VDC

• Rated current: 1 A DC
Figure 1. Terminal block power connection
• Output from power supply: 5 VDC, 2A regulated (± 5%)
• Input to power supply: universal input 100–240 VAC 50/60 Hz 0.3A
2. CONFIGURATION
You can configure the LB532A-L and LB532A-R only through the hardware configura-
tion via DIP switches.
2.1 HARDWARE (DIP-SWITCH) CONFIGURATION
The only configurable parameter is the data rate, set by DIP switches S4-2 through
S4-8 (see Table 2 on page 11). All other DIP switches should remain in the OFF posi-
tion. When configuring the data rate, set the DIP switches to the desired rate before
applying power to the LB532A-L or the LB532A-R.
NOTE: Factory Default Configuration: 5.696 Mbps (DIP are all OFF)
The external AC adapter shall be a listed limited
power source that incorporates a disconnect
device and shall be positioned within easy
reach of the operator. Ensure that the AC power
cable meets all applicable standards for the
country in which it is to be installed, and that it
is connected to a wall outlet that has
earth ground.
