GETTING STARTED
mCore® SDR is designed for industrial applications requiring
protocol translation between CDL (CAT® Data Link), S.A.E.
J1939, Modbus RTU, and Modbus TCP. Each unit comes to you
precongured and ready to install.
The mCore®SDR is easy to mount, with two mounting
options, and environmentally sealed to protect against dust
ingress and temporary immersion in up to 1 meter of water
(IP66 & IP67). It was designed specically for industrial mobile,
mining, marine, and o-road applications. The device displays
LED indicating lights congured to provide positive conrma-
tion of power, connectivity, and data transmit/data receive. Weight: 2.0 lbs. (.907 Kg)
Figure 1
CONNECTING MCORE
The unit should be connected to the desired
ports according to the pinout below using the
recommended connectors shown in Table 1 on
the last page of this manual.
The pin numbers are labeled on each AMPSEAL
key connector to ensure proper connection.
Pinout is depicting the female header connectors and respective key
orientations on your mCore® SDR that will mate to the male connec-
tors shown in Table 1. Be sure to follow the AMPSEAL “How-to Instruc-
tions” located at:
laddinc.com > resources > how-to-instructions > ampseal-connectors
laddinc.com > resources > how-to-instructions >
ampseal-16-contact-crimping
These instructions include steps for proper inserting, crimping, and
removing of wires into the pin connectors. For proper hand crimping,
an AMPSEAL 2119118-1 hand crimping tool (not included) must be
used.
mCore® SDR is approved for Class I Div 2 Group A, B, C and D. In order to
maintain this rating the unit must be installed in a separate tool
secured enclosure and comply with the one of the following NEC wiring
methods:
1. Extra-hard usage cord – Section 501.140 of the NEC and Rule J18-160 of
the CE Code Part I;
2. Instrumentation tray cable (Type ITC or CIC) – Section 501.10(B) and
501.105(B)(6) of the NEC and Rule J18-152 of the CE Code Part I;
3. Power-limited tray cable (Type PLTC) – Article 725 of the NEC; and
4. Tray cable (Type TC) installed per Article 336 of the NEC and Rule 12-2202
of the CE Code Part I.

MOUNTING mCORE®
Surface-Mount: The unit should be mounted securely against
a at surface, using two ¼” fasteners (not provided), to a
suitable location as close to the engine as possible. DO NOT
mount directly to the engine block. The unit should be mount-
ed, as shown in Figure 1 on page 2, either horizontally or
vertically. Horizontal is the optimal mounting orientation
considering LED visibility and heat dissipation. However, other
mounting orientations are acceptable.
DIN Rail Mount: The mCore®SDR unit should be mounted
vertically on a horizontal DIN rail. Tilt the unit to a 45-degree
angle and insert the top lip of the DIN rail bracket onto the DIN
rail. Then attach the bottom lip to the DIN rail to snap the unit
into place (illustrated in Figure 2). A minimum of 1” of space
should be maintained on all sides of the unit to ensure proper
heat regulation.
Figure 2
GROUNDING mCORE®
After mounting and connecting mCore®SDR, the unit must be
grounded in compliance with local and national electrical codes. It
must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground
wire before any power is applied. Contact the appropriate electrical
inspection authority if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is
available.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
QTY: 1 Grounding Lug (included)
QTY: 1 6-Gauge Ground Wire (not included)
QTY: 1 Nut Driver (not included)
QTY: 1 Pliers or Crimping Tool (not included)
PROCEDURE:
Step 1: Use the Pliers or Crimping Tool to crimp the 6-Gauge
Ground Wire to the Grounding Lug.
Step 2: Connect the Grounding Wire to the mCore™ SDR Ground
ing Lug connection point, shown below in Figure 3.
Step 3: Place the Grounding Wire over the Grounding Lug and
tighten these components using a nut driver. Tighten to
9.6 in-lbs.
Step 4: Connect the other end of the wire to a reliable earth
ground if possible. For most eective grounding, use the
grounding standards listed below.
* Safety guidelines for proper grounding are outlined in OSHA
Standard 1926.962.
* National standards for proper grounding are outlined in IEEE
Standard 142.
INPUT POWER REQUIREMENTS
mCore® SDR power is supplied through Pins 7 and 8 on Key
Connector A (see Table 1). Pins 7 and 8 can be located on the
Pinout Guide under “Connecting mCore”. The input voltage
requirements are 8–48 VDC for operating temperatures
between -40°C and +65°C. The input voltage requirements are
limited to 8–28 VDC for operating temperatures between -40°C
and +70°C. mCore®SDR has internal reverse polarity protec-
tion, but will not operate under reverse polarity conditions.
POWER DISCONNECT
To disconnect power to mCore® SDR lift the locking ear on the side
of Key Connector A using a at blade screwdriver and pull gently.
The locking ear is shown below in Figure 4.
Failure to protect mCore®SDR or use in any manner not specied
may result in damage.
In addition to the battery positive and battery negative leads,
there is a key switch wire that must be wired into the positive
terminal of the power source or wired to a switch connected to
the positive terminal of the power source.
®
To remove the unit from the DIN rail, push down on the unit
until the bottom lip is clear from the rail. Then pull out from
the bottom. The unit should remove with ease.
