Industrial Grade 7-Port USB Hub
Table 1. LED indicators.
LED Type State Description
USB Power
ON
The hub is running on USB power.
External power is not applied. The hub
can supply up to 100 mA power per
downstream port.
OFF The hub is either using external power, or
no power is present.
External Power
ON
External power is applied, and an active
host connection exists. The hub will
provide 500 mA per downstream port.
OFF The hub is bus powered (ICI207A only)or
no power is present (ICI208A).
Port LEDs 1–7
ON Port is active and ready for use.
OFF Port has a fault. Power may need to be
cycled.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The hub is installed, but a downstream
device isn’t working.
Solution: Some USB devices get their power from the
USB cable. If you are using the ICI207A without an
external power supply, it will only provide 100 mA to
the downstream ports. If your devices need more
power, connect an external power supply to the
ICI207A. It will then provide 500 mA to the
downstream ports.
Problem: Do I need drivers for the hub?
Solution: No, the operating system will detect it and
install it automatically.
Problem: How can I be sure it has been installed?
Solution: The new hub will be listed in the Device
Manager.
Troubleshooting (Continued from page 5)
Problem: Can I use USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices
together?
Solution: Yes. USB 2.0 is backwards-compatible with
USB 1.0 and 1.1.

Step 1: Mounting
DIN rail mounting: Attach the DIN rail bracket with
the flat surface of the bracket facing the back of the
hub, as shown in Figure 3.

Panel mounting: Attach the panel-mount brackets to
either side of the hub. They can be attached in (4)
positions: up, down, forward, and backward.

Step 2: Connect the Power Supply
ICI207A: The non-isolated Industrial Grade 7-Port USB
Hub (ICI207A) can operate without an external power
supply. When the hub is running on USB power,
it provides a maximum of 100 mA to each of the
downstream ports.
ICI208A: Unike the non-isolated hub, the isolated
Industrial Grade 7-Port USB Hub (ICI208A) will not
operate without an external power supply. You can
use the detachable terminal block input or the locking
barrel jack. The terminal block is polarity protected.
When powered, the ICI207A and ICI208A will provide
500 mA to each downstream port. They require 10
to 30 VDC of external power and will consume a
maximum of 16 W.
NOTE: The ICI208A adds 4-kV isolation.
Step 3: Grounding
We recommend that you ground the chassis. Connect
a grounding wire from the green ground lug to a
good source of earth ground.

Step 4: LED Status
Figure 6 shows the LEDs on the ICI207A and ICI208A.
Table 1 describes their functions.
