The MC-3201 computers are built around a 11th Gen Intel® Celeron®

or Intel® Core™ i3, i5, or i7 processor and come with 2 DisplayPort

interfaces, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 4 USB 2.0 ports, 4 GbE ports, and 2 3-in-1

RS-232/422/485 serial ports. The MC-3201 is also equipped with a 2.5”

HDD/SSD slot and a built-in TPM 2.0 module.

Additional value and convenience are provided through a modular

design with two independent slots for flexible system integration and

expansion. Users have the option to add a variety of different

communications modules, including Wi-Fi, 5G, LTE, GPS, and M.2 SATA

SSD expansion modules.

With compliance with the IEC-60945 and E10 standards, the MC-3201

is sure to deliver stable and reliable system operation for marine and

IIoT applications. These certifications are issued to products to indicate

their suitability for marine applications to allow them to be used in

potentially hazardous environments.

Installing the MC-3201

Wall Mounting

The MC-3201 can be installed on a wall by using the wall-mounting kit.

To install the MC-3201 on a wall, do the following:

STEP 1:

Use four screws for each bracket and attach the brackets to the

back of the MC-3201.

The screws are included in the wall-mounting kit. If you want to

buy the screws separately, use the following specifications:

Screw-M/FMS M4 x 6mm Ni/90D Nylok

STEP 2:

Use two screws per bracket to attach the MC-3201 to a wall or

cabinet.

Note:

Mounting the MC-3201 to a wall requires

four screws. Use the MC-3201 computer,

with the wall-mounting brackets

attached, as a guide to mark the correct

locations of the screws on the wall.

The heads of the screws should be at

least 6.0 mm in diameter, the shafts

should be 3.5 mm in diameter with a

minimum depth of 10 mm as shown in

the figure on the right. Do not drive the

screws in all the way; leave a space of

about 2 mm to allow room for sliding the

wall-mounting bracket between the wall

and the screws.

Connector Descriptions

Power Connector

Connect the power connector/terminal block to the

power supply

that can provide 9 to 36 VDC (MC-

3201

-TGL1 model) or 24 VDC (MC-3201-TGL7

model)

. Before connecting the device to DC power

inputs, make sure the DC power

source voltage is

stable.

If the power is supplied properly, the Power

LED will light up. The OS is ready when the Power

LED glows solid green.

The input terminal block wiring should be installed

a skilled person.

•Wire size: 12-28 AWG

•Torque value: 0.51 N-m

•Only one conductor per clamping point

If you are using a Class I adapter, the power cord

should be connected to an outlet with an earthing

connection.

ATTENTION

The equipment

(MC-3201-TGL7-M-

S) is intended to be supplied

by the external power source (UL listed/ IEC 60950

-1/ IEC

62368

1), which output complies with ES1/SELV, output rating

is 24 VDC, 2.7 A min., an ambient temperature 55°C

minimum.

ATTENTION

The equipment

(MC-3201-TGL1-S-S)

is intended to be supplied

by the external power source (UL listed/ IEC 60950

-1/ IEC

62368

-1), which output complies with ES1/SELV,

output rating

is 9 to 36 VDC, 9.5 A min., an ambient temperature 55°C

minimum.

Grounding the MC-3201

Grounding and wire routing help

limit the effects of noise due to

electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Run the ground connection from

the functional earthing screw (M4)

to the grounding surface prior to

connecting the power as shown in

the illustration on the right.

- 7 -

NOTE

A 4 mm2 conductor must be used when the connection to the

external grounding screw is utilized. The heat sink is grounded

to the chassis by an internal screw.

Terminal Block

Terminal block (J1)—R/C (XCFR2, XCFR8), socket soldered on to the

PWB, DINKLE ENTERPRISE CO., LTD, type 5EHDRM, rated 300 V, 15 A,

105°C. The terminal block is suitable for connecting to plug type

5ESDVM rated 300 V, 15 A, 105°C. The plug-half connection is secured

by screws; suitable for 12 to 28 AWG wire size, secured on plug by

screws with a torque value of 0.51 N-m (4.5 lb-in).

Ethernet Ports

The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports use RJ45 connectors.
