Wiring Requirements

Be sure to read and follow these common safety precautions before

proceeding with the installation of any electronic device:

•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 communication wiring together with power

wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with

different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

•Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which

wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that

shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

•It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or

wiring your

UC-8580 computer.

Wiring Caution!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and

common wire. Observe all electrical

codes dictating the

maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes

above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing

serious damage to your equipment.

Temperature Caution!

Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in,

the internal components generate heat, and consequently the

outer casing may feel hot to the touch.

Connecting the Power

Connect the 24 to 110 VDC power line with M12 A-coded connector to the

UC-8580 computer. If the power is supplied properly, the “P” LED will

glow a solid green after a 25 to 30-second delay. The power input location

and pin definition are shown in the following figures:

- 5 -

Grounding the Unit

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 the power.

Please note that this product is intended to be mounted on a

well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel. The grounding

connected is provided and located on the front panel. Connect the

grounding wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.

Connecting to the Network

The pin assignments for the UC-8580 computer’s Ethernet port are shown

in the following figure. If you are using your own Ethernet cable, make

sure that you match the pin assignment on the connector of the Ethernet

cable to the pin assignment shown below:

- 6 -

Connecting a Serial Device

Use a serial cable to connect your serial device to the computer’s serial

port. Serial ports P1 and P2 use terminal blocks and can be configured for

RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 communication. The pin location and

assignment are shown in the following diagrams:

Connecting Digital Input/Output Devices

The UC-8580 computer comes with a 3-channel digital input and a

3-channel digital output terminal block that you can use to connect your

digital devices. The DI/O pin assignments and wiring methods are shown

below:

Connecting a USB Device

The UC-8580 computer is provided with a USB 3.0 port on the front panel

for connecting a USB device.

Connecting the Wi-Fi/Cellular Module and Antenna

The UC-8580 computer is provided with four sets of antenna holes for

installing antennas for the Wi-Fi and cellular modules. Unfasten the four

screws on the front panel and lift up the panel to check the location of the

Wi-Fi/cellular module sockets.

You will need to install the SIM cards for the cellular modules in the

designated SIM-card slots. For the cellular module in socket 1, insert SIM

cards in the SIM 1-1 and SIM 1-2 slots. The SIM cards for the cellular

module in socket 3 should be inserted in the SIM 3-1 and SIM 3-2 slots.

The Wi-Fi/cellular module package includes 1 wireless (Wi-Fi or cellular)

module, 2 or 3 antenna cables and connectors, 1 black tape, 1 tag sheet,

2 screws, 2 locking washers, and 2 nuts.

To install a wireless (Wi-Fi/cellular) module, do the following:

The thermal pads come

attached to the wireless

module. Remove the plastic

protective film on the thermal

pads.

Insert the wireless module in

the designated socket and

tighten the two screws on the

module.

3. Attach the flat end of the antenna cable

to the connector marked MAIN on the

module and insert the

other end of the

cable with the connector tube into the

antenna hole marked MAIN

on the front

panel of the computer. Remove the

black cover on the antenna hole

before

you do so and insert the connector

tube

through the back side of the front

panel. Follow the procedure described

above to attach the AUX antenna

cable.

Refer to the following figure provided on the front panel to identify

the antenna mounting holes for the wireless modules.

4. Use the black tape provided in the package to secure the antenna

cables to the module and attach tags (also provided in the package)

to identify the cables as shown in the picture below:

5. Secure the antenna connectors to the front panel by inserting the

locking washers through the connector tube followed by the nut and

then tightening the nut onto the threaded protection ring.

6. Connect the antennas to the connectors on the front panel. Refer to

the following figure for the specific location of each antenna

connector, including a connector for a GPS antenna.

Use the procedure described above to install other Wi-Fi or cellular

modules.

NOTE

he Wi-Fi module installed i

n socket 4 requires three antennas.

Make sure all three antenn

as are installed

and secured properly

before you use the module.

Installing SIM Cards

Each cellular module supports 2 SIM cards. To install SIM cards for the

cellular modules, do the following:

1. Find the location of the SIM card socket.

2. Pull up the SIM-card holder and insert the SIM card.
