Hardware Installation
3.1 DIN-rail Installation
The device comes with a DIN-rail kit to allow you to fasten the device to a DIN-rail in any
environments.
DIN-rail Kit Measurement (unit = mm)
Installing the device on the DIN-rail is easy. First, screw the Din-rail kit onto the back of the
device, right in the middle of the back panel. Then slide the device onto a DIN-rail from the
Din-rail kit and make sure the device clicks into the rail firmly.
3.2 Wall-mount Installation
Besides Din-rail, the device can be fixed to the wall via wall mount kits, which can befound in
the package

Wall-mount Kit Measurement (unit = mm)
To mount the device onto the wall, follow the steps:
Step 1: Screw the wall-mount kit onto the back of the device. Atotal of six screws are required,
as shown below.
Step 2: Use the device, with wall mount plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct
locations of the four screws.
Step 3: Insert a screw head through the large parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then
slide the device downwards. Tighten the screw for added stability.

3.3 Wiring
3.3.1 Grounding
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground pin on the power module to the grounding
surface prior to connecting devices.
3.3.2 Redundant Power Inputs
The device has two sets of DC power inputs on a 6-pin terminal block located on top of the
device. Follow the steps below to wire the power input on the terminal block.
Step 1: insert the negative/positive wires into the V-/V+ terminals, respectively.
Step 2: to keep the wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the
wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector.
3.4 Connection
3.4.1 Cables
10/100BASE-T(X) Pin Assignments
The device has a standard Ethernet port. According to the link type, the device uses CAT 3,
ATTENTION
1. Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your
devices.
2. Calculate themaximum possible current in each power wire and common
wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current
allowable for each wire size.
3. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat,
causing serious damage to your equipment.
4. 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.
5. Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the
same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal
characteristics should be routed separately.
6. 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
sharing similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together
7. You should separate input wiring from output wiring
8. It is advised to label the wiring to all devices in the system
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been switched off or
the area is known to be non-hazardous. The devices may only be
connected to the supply voltage shown on the type plate.
