1. Unpack materials.
2. Mount the DAS using either the DIN rail mount, or with screws through the mounting tabs.
3. Optional: Connect the Modbus network loop as shown in the diagram. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for installing and powering the Modbus devices.
4. Connect a PC to the DAS using a Cat 5 or better ethernet cable.
a. ENET 1 should be the "upstream" connection to the Internet. Connect it to your
firewall/router or Ethernet modem.
b. ENET 2 should be the "downstream" connection, for your PC and for Ethernet meters
and devices.
5. Supply +24VDC to the DAS. Once power is applied, the Status LED will immediately turn
on and the LCD will show a series of progress messages as the system boots.
6. Decide type of connection:
a. DHCP Mode (DHCP is the default and is recommended).
b. Static IP Mode.

Installation Checklist
Hardware:
• A8820 AcquiSuite Data Acquisition Server (DAS)
• Laptop (not provided) with one RJ45 port (required for LAN or direct
laptop-to-DAS connection)
• Ethernet Cat 5 or better ethernet cable (not provided)
• Power Supply 24VDC, 500mA or greater (not provided)
Optional hardware:
• Additional ModbusTM Devices
• 2 wire, twisted pair with shield for Modbus/RS485 connection
(BeldenTM 1120A or equivalent)
• Termination resistors (120 ohm) for long RS485 runs over 200 ft
• When installed in an outdoor or harsh environment, the device must be mounted in an
appropriate listed outdoor or industrial rated enclosure (Type 4X / IP54 in Europe).
• Only copper wiring is to be used for all field wiring terminals.
Mounting
DIN Rail: The A8820 is designed with integrated DIN rail mounting clips for a standard
35 mm DIN rail. The integrated clips on the back of the enclosure will snap directly on the rail.
Mounting Tabs: The enclosure provides mounting tabs in each corner of the enclosure. Use
the appropriate type #6 or smaller screw to attach the unit to the mounting surface.
