DIN-rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back panel
of the AWK-3131A-RTG when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate to the AWK-3131A-RTG, make
sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the
figures below:

- 7 -
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-3131A-RTG from the DIN rail, simply reverse the
steps 1 and 2.
Wall Mounting (Optional)
For some applications, it may be more convenient to mount the
AWK-3131A-RTG to a wall, as illustrated below.
STEP 1:
Remove the aluminum
DIN
-rail attachment plate
from the AWK
-3131A-RTG,
and then attach the wall
mount plates with
M5
screws, as shown in the
diagrams.
STEP 2:
Mounting the AWK
-3131A-RTG to a wall requires 4
screws. Use the AWK
-3131A-
RTG with wall mount plates
attached as a guide to mark the correct locations of the 4
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.

- 8 -
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
-3131A-RTG downwards,
as indicated to the right. Tighten
the four screws for added
stability.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa AWK-3131A-RTG.
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 curren
t goes
above the maximum rating
, the wiring could overheat, causing
serious damage to your equipment.

- 9 -
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-3131A-RTG
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.
Installations with Unstable Power Inputs
There are cases where the device has to be wired to the same power
source as other equipment. In such cases if equipment such as motors
that are connected in the circuit draw a large amount of current during
operation, the transient voltage drop could potentially cause the AWK to
become unstable.

- 10 -
Installing a DC/DC power isolator, in between the two equipment, is
recommended to isolate the transient effect and to ensure a stable power
input for the AWK.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector
on the AWK-3131A-RTG’s top panel are used for the AWK-3131A-RTG’s
two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal block connector are
shown here.
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-3131A-RTG’s top panel.
ATTENTION
Before connecting th
e AWK-3131A-RTG
to the DC power inputs,
make sure the DC power source voltage is stable.
Wiring the Relay Contact
The AWK-3131A-RTG has one relay output, which consists of the two
contacts of the terminal block on the AWK-3131A-RTG’s top panel. Refer
to the previous section for detailed instructions on how to connect the
wires to the terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal
block connector to the terminal block receptor. These relay contacts are
used to indicate user-configured events. The two wires attached to the
Relay contacts form an open circuit when a user-configured event is
triggered. If a user-configured event does not occur, the relay circuit will
be closed.
