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.

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.

for use in your country.
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 the
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.

- 11 -
Wiring the Digital Inputs
The AWK-3131A-RTG has two sets of digital inputs: DI0 and DI1. Each DI
comprises two contacts of the 10-pin terminal block connector on the
AWK-3131A-RTG’s top panel. Refer to the “Wiring the Redundant Power
Inputs” 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.
Cable Holder Installation (Optional)
You can attach the cable holder to the bottom of the AWK-3131A-RTG to
keep cabling neat and avoid accidents that result from untidy cables.
STEP 1:
Screw the cable holder onto the bottom of the
AWK
-3131A-RTG.
STEP 2:
After mounting the AWK
-3131A-RTG and plugging in the LAN cable,
tighten the cable along the device and wall.
Communication Connections
100BaseFX Fiber Port Connection
The concept behind the SC port and cable is quite straightforward.
Suppose you are connecting devices 1 and 2; contrary to electrical signals,
optical signals do not need a circuit in order to transmit data.
Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device
1 to device 2, and the other optical line is used to transmit data from
device 2 to device 1, for full-duplex transmission. Remember to connect
the Tx (transmit) port of device 1 to the Rx (receive) port of device 2, and
vice versa.

- 12 -
If you make your own cable, we suggest labeling the two sides of the
same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-B, as illustrated below, or
(A1-to-A1, B1-to-B2, etc.).

ATTENTION
This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. To avoid causing serious
damage to your eyes, do not stare directly into the laser beam.
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
All AWK-3131A-M12-RTG have a 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port (4-pin
shielded M12 connector with D coding). The 10/100TX port located on the
AWK-3131A-M12-RTG’s front panel is used to connect to
Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users configure this port for Auto
MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the port’s pinouts are adjusted
automatically depending on the type of Ethernet cable used
(straight-through or cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type or
HUB/Switch-type) connected to the port.
Pinouts for the 10/100BaseT(X) Port
RS-232 Connection
The AWK-3131A-RTG has one RS-232 (8-pin RJ45) console port located
on the front panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable to
connect the AWK-3131A-RTG’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You
may then use a console terminal program to access the AWK-3131A-RTG
for console configuration.
