Mount and Wire the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE
The CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE must be mounted in accordance with all national and
local codes. Use the two 8B x 1/4” screws, supplied, to attach the
CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE to an enclosure. The rst illustration below shows the
CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE mounted in a single-wide enclosure; the second illustration
shows the double-wide enclosure.
NOTE: When installing the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE in a single-wide enclosure,
use the gray module interconnect cable to make the connection between the module
and the RIGHT port on the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE.
NOTE: When installing the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE in a double-wide enclosure,
use the red module interconnect cable to make the connection between the right
module and the RIGHT port on the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE. Use the gray module
interconnect cable to make the connection between the left module and the LEFT port
on the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE.
Make connections as called out in the following illustration.
Operation
The following describes the basic operation of the CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE.
TEST Button
Press the TEST button to perform a hardware test of the device. The device reports errors
via blink patterns. The device displays error codes using the NET or MSG LED on the
interface. The LED blinks a specic pattern to indicate an error.
For example, when a 3-3 LED blink pattern occurs, the LED blinks three times, pauses for
1 second, blinks three times, pauses for 5 seconds, and then repeats until the error is
corrected. When a 2-1 LED blink pattern occurs, the LED blinks two times, pauses for 1
second, blinks once, pauses for 5 seconds, and then repeats this code until the error is
corrected.
