2.0 Wiring the power
2.1 Running the power cable through the gland
To run the power cable through the gland:
1. Locate the gland that the power cable should be run through.
2. You may unscrew the gland to allow more flexibility when threading the power cable wires. To unscrew
the gland, either by hand or with a Crescent® (adjustable) wrench, turn the gland to the left until it is
loosened.
3. Carefully thread the wires through the gland from the outside into the EnviroNET.
Note The brass glands on the bottom panel of the EnviroNET can properly seal cables with an outer diameter
between 3mm and 8mm.
2.2 Connecting the power cable wires to the EnviroNET
To connect the power cable wires to the EnviroNET:
1. Run the power cable wires from outside of the EnviroNET through the unscrewed gland (on the far left) to
the inside of the unit.
2. Connect the power cable wires to the external power connection block that is labeled, E N L, as described
in table 1.
3. Be sure to leave a little slack on the wires so that they are not stressed or pulled too tightly. Also, make
sure that the power cable wires are secured tightly in the E N L block.
4. To ensure that the cables are properly secured in the gland, tighten the gland by turning the loose pieces
all the way to the right using a Crescent® (adjustable) wrench.

3.1 Running the twisted pair wires through the gland
To run the twsited pair wires through the gland:
1. Locate the glands that the twisted pair wires should run through.
2. You may unscrew the gland to allow more flexibility when threading the wires. To unscrew the gland,
either by hand or with a Crescent® (adjustable) wrench, turn the gland to the left until it is loosened.
3. Carefully thread the wires through the gland from the outside into the EnviroNET.
Note The brass glands on the bottom panel of the EnviroNET can properly seal cables with an outer diameter
between 3mm and 8mm.
3.2 Connecting the twisted pair wires to the EnviroNET
To connect the twisted pair wires to the EnviroNET:
1. Run the twisted pair wires from outside of the EnviroNET through the unscrewed glands (on the right) to
the inside of the unit.
2. Connect the appropriate wires to the appropriate slots in the terminal block. There should be one wire per
gland. Follow the wiring diagram that is on the inside of the EnviroNET door. The terminal block is also
labeled with the numbers.
3. Be sure to leave a little slack on the wires so that they are not stressed or pulled too tightly. Also, make
sure that the twisted pair wires are secured tightly in the terminal block.
4. To ensure that the cables are properly secured in the gland, tighten the gland by turning the loose pieces
all the way to the right using a Crescent® (adjustable) wrench.
Note The black plugs for the brass glands on the bottom panel of the EnviroNET should not be removed.

4.0 Configuring the EnviroNET
You can configure the EnviroNET via the dip switches on the PC board (except for the 2156 and 2157 models,
which require no user configuration).
4.1 EnviroNET Model 2172
EnviroNET Model 2172 uses DIP switch S2 to configure the line rate, symmetric or asymmetric, Ethernet, and
Ethernet Shutdown. Table 2 shows a summary of each switch.
Switch 1: Symmetric/Asymmetric Operation
To configure the unit for symmetric or asymmetric operation, push the first toggle switch up or down.
Refer to Table 3 for settings.

Switches 4, 5 and 6: Ethernet Configuration
Refer to table 6 to configure Ethernet settings with switches 4, 5, and 6.
Switch 7: Ethernet Shutdown
To enable or disable Ethernet Shutdown, push toggle switch seven (7) up or down.

Switch 8: Remote Configuration
To enable or disable Remote Configuration, push toggle switch eight (8) up or down.
Refer to table 8 for settings.
Note The S2-8 switch applies to the remote unit only. If enabled, the remote unit will follow the dip switch
configuration of the local unit. If disabled, the remote unit will use its own dip switch setting to deter-
mine its Ethernet operating mode and Ethernet Shutdown mode configuration. The S2-8 switch does not
affect the data rate. The data rate will always follow the local configuration.
4.2 EnviroNET Model 2168
EnviroNET Model 2168 uses DIP switch S1 to configure the line rate, symmetric or asymmetric, Ethernet full auto
negotiation capability or limited auto sense. Table 9 shows a summary of each switch.
Switch 1: Ethernet Auto Sense
To configure the unit for full auto sense capability or limited auto sense capability, push the first toggle switch up
or down. Full Auto sense capability consists of standard Ethernet Auto sensing (100BaseT full duplex, 100BaseT
half duplex, 10BaseT full duplex, and 10BaseT half duplex). Limited Auto sensing capability consists on only
auto sensing for 100BaseT half duplex, 10BaseT full duplex, and 10BaseT half duplex. The limited auto negotia-
tion feature is used when an Ethernet device does not comply with IEEE 802.3x (back pressure flow control) at
100M full duplex
. Refer to table 10 for settings.

5.0 Mounting the EnviroNET
The EnviroNET can be mounted in two ways, wall mount and pole mount.The wall mount is the typical way that
an EnviroNET can be mounted. You will need four bolts to mount the EnviroNET.
To mount the EnviroNET:
1. Make sure that the location where you chose to mount the EnviroNET is sturdy and can securely hold the
unit.
2. Be sure that the door to the EnviroNET is securely closed and locked. To lock the case, close the door and
use a flat-tip screwdriver to turn the locks to all the way to the right.
3. Mount the EnviroNET by securing the bolts through the holes on the EnviroNET to the wall panel.
Note The pole mount option is available by request. For information on how to mount the EnviroNET to a
pole, refer to the Pole Mount Kit Quick Start Guide that shipped with the pole mount kit.
6.0 Operating the EnviroNET
The EnviroNET is designed to be powered on automatically. There is no power switch. The green power LED will
light when the power is on (ET and EC models only).
To power the EnviroNET:
1. You need to wire the power cable. If you haven’t done this already, go to the section, 2.0 “Wiring the
power” on page 3.
2. After all of the cables are properly wired, close and lock the case. Plug the power cable into an electrical
outlet.
Note Once in operation, the EnviroNET will run over all temperatures without user intervention.
The EnviroNET ET and EC models have two LEDs, Power and Temperature Control Indicator.
The Power light will be on when the EnviroNET is operating normally.
The Temperature Control Indicator light will be on when the heater or fan turns on to control temperature.
Note EH models do not have a fan or heater, therefore they do not have LEDs.
