Mounting Instructions
DIN-rail Mounting (optional)
The optional DIN-rail mounting kit is not included in the product
package and must be purchased separately.
Follow these steps to mount the device on to a DIN rail.
STEP 1:
Use 4 screws to attach the DIN
-
rail mounting bracket to the
AIG-
501
-T-AZU-LX’s rear panel and
tighten the screws to secure the
bracket.
STEP 2:
Insert the upper
lip of the DIN
rail into the DIN
-rail mounting
kit.
STEP 3:
Press the
AIG-501-T-AZU-LX
towards the DIN rail until it snaps
into place.

Wall Mounting (optional)
The optional wall-mounting kit is not included in the product package
and should be purchased separately.
Follow these steps to mount the device on to a wall.
STEP 1:
Attach the wall
-mounting
brackets to the rear side of
the
AIG-501-T-AZU-LX by
using two screws per bracket.
STEP 2:
Use four screws per side on
the wall
-mounting bracket to
attach the
AIG-501-T-AZU-LX
to a wall or cabinet.
IMPORTANT!
The diameter of the screw heads should be greater than 7 mm
and less than 14 mm; the diameter of the shafts should be less
than 3 mm. The length of the screws should be greater than 6
mm.
NOTE
•Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screws
into one of the keyhole shaped apertures of the wall-
mounting plates before attaching the plate to the wall.
•
Do not drive the screws in all the way—leave a space of
about 2 mm to allow room for sliding the wall-mounting
panel between the wall and the screws.
Wiring Requirements
•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
•You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to
determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb
is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all
devices in the system.

NOTE
Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in
the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with
different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
Grounding Requirements
There is a grounding connector on the top panel of the device. Use this
connector to connect a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a
metal panel. Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise
due to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Connecting the Power Supply
Connect the power jack (in the package) to the DC
terminal block (located on the top panel), and then
connect the power adapter. It takes about 3 minutes
for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready,
the power LEDs will light up.
Use wires with 16 to 24 AWG (1.318 to 0.205 mm2) to connect to V+,
V-, and GND. The wire size of the power input and the earthing
conductor should be the same.
WARNING
•
This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed
Power Adapter or DC power source marked “L.P.S.” (or
“Limited Power Source”) rated 12 to 36 VDC, 2.5 A
(minimum), and TMA = 70°C (minimum).
•
The power adapter should be connected to a socket outlet
with an earthing connection.
If you need further information or
assistance, contact a Moxa
representative.
Wiring the I/Os
Connecting Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs
There are four digital inputs and four digital
outputs on the top panel. Refer to the figure
on the left for
the pin definitions.
NOTE
The load from the DO Source is not ideal for a DO. DO NOT
use this source for device safety reasons.
