Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm)
DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back
panel of the AWK-3131 when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the AWK-3131, make sure the
stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures
below.
STEP 1:
Insert the top of the DIN
-Rail into
the slot just
below the stiff metal
spring.
STEP 2:
The DIN
-Rail attachment unit will
snap into place as
shown below.
To remove the AWK-3131 from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and
2.

- 6 -
Wall Mounting (optional)
For transportation applications that require an EN 50155 certification
report, we strongly recommend the purchase of the optional AWK-3131
wallmount kit, which has passed EN 50155 testing. This wallmount kit is
also convenient for other applications that require mounting the
AWK-3131 to a wall.
STEP 1:
Remove the aluminum
DIN
-Rail attachment plate
from the
AWK-3131, and
then attach the wall
mount
plates with M3 screws, as
shown in the adjacent
diagrams.
STEP 2:
Mounting the
AWK-3131 to a wall requires 3 screws.
Use the
AWK-3131 device, with wall mount plates
attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of
the
3 screws. The heads of the screws should be less
than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the
shafts should be less
than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the
right.
Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to
allow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the
screws.
NOTE
Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screw into
one of the keyhole shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting Plates
before it is screwed into the wall.
STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed into the wall,
insert the four screw heads through
the large opening of the
keyhole
-shaped apertures, and then
slide the
AWK-3131 downwards, as
indicated to the right. Tighten the
three
screws for added stability.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa AWK-3131.
WARNING
Safety First!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire
and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum current allowed for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
You should also pay attention to the following items:
•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.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring
in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different
signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•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 with similar electrical characteristics can be bundled
together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system
when necessary.

Grounding the Moxa AWK-3131
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well
-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector
on the AWK-3131’s top panel are used for the AWK-3131’s two DC inputs.
Top and front views of the terminal block connector are shown below.
STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires
into the
V-/V+ terminals.
STEP 2:
To keep the DC wires from pulling
loose,
use a small flat
-
blade screwdriver to tighten the
wire
-clamp screws on the front of the terminal
block connector.
STEP 3:
Insert the plastic terminal block
connector prongs into the terminal block
receptor, which is
located on the AWK-3131’s t
op
