Connectors
Ethernet
Ethernet 100Base-Tx (10/100Mbit). When connected, the green “Link” LED at the connector li-
ghts up to indicate proper connection. When communicating, the yellow „Activity“ LED flashes.
Power
The green LED indicates that the device is powered. Upon request (and under a different pro-
duct code), Damocles2 models other than 2404 can be also equipped with PoE (Power over
Ethernet).
Inputs
INx – dry contact inputs. Inputs always share a common ground (GND). The corresponding
green LED indicates a closed contact.
Outputs
• Damocles2 MINI – OUTx – relay outputs with NO/NC contacts. When idle, NCx (Normally Closed)
+ COMx (Common) are connected. When activated, NOx (Normally Open) + COMx are connec-
ted. Yelow LED indicates an activated output.
• Damocles2 2404 – OUTx – relay outputs with NO/NC contacts. When idle, NCx (Normally Closed)
+ COMx (Common) are connected. When activated, NOx (Normally Open) + COMx are connec-
ted. Yelow LED indicates an activated output.
• Damocles2 1208 – open collector – semiconductor outputs with a common ground (GND), for
controlling external switching elements. Yelow LED indicates an activated output. For more
information, see Open Collector – Damocles2 1208 only.
Alarm/Setup LED
Red LED indicates device state: continuously on means Alarm (DI outside of the safe range),
flashing means TCP or Serial Setup mode.
DIP1/DIP2 switches
DIP1 – activates serial setup mode/restores factory defaults. To restore factory defaults, quickly
toggle the switch 3× within the first 5 seconds after powering up the device.
DIP2 – safe mode – activates HW protection of configuration settings. In Safe mode, parameters
cannot be changed (online demo).
1. Connecting the cables
• Turn the unit and note its MAC address that is printed on the label on the side.
• Set the switches: DIP1=Off, DIP2=Off.
• Connect the unit to the Ethernet (with a patch cable to a switch, cross-over cable to a PC), RJ-45 port.
• Plug the power adapter into an electricity outlet and connect it to the Damocles2 power connector.
• The green POWER LED lights up.
• If the Ethernet connection works properly, the LINK LED lights up after a short while, and then
flashes whenever data are transferred (activity indication)
2. Configuring the IP address – UDP Config
HWg Config utility – root directory of the supplied CD (Windows and Linux versions).
Also available for download at www.HW-group.com -> Software -> UDP Config.
• Click the icon to launch HWg Config. The program automatically looks for connected devices.
• Automatic device discovery works only in the local network.
• Individual Damocles2 units are identified by their MAC addresses (on the label at the bottom).
• Double-click a MAC address to open a basic device configuration dialog.
