Installing the MRC-1002 Gateway

The metal DIN-rail kit is fixed to the back panel of the MRC-1002

gateway when you take it out of the box. Mount the MRC-1002 gateway

on corrosion-free mounting rails that meet the EN 60715 standard.

STEP 1:

Click on the DIN rail and push

down into the mounting rail.

STEP 2:

Push the MR

C-1002 gateway

forward

until it snaps into

place.

Removing the MRC-1002 Gateway

STEP 1:

Use a flat

-type screwdriver to

pull down the spring of the DIN

rail kit.

STEP 2:

Pull back the MRC

-1002

gateway until it

releases from

the mounting rail.

Wiring Requirement

WARNING

Do not disconnect modules or wires unless

the 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. The dev

ices are designed for operation with a

Safety Extra

Low Voltage. Thus, they may only be connected to

the supply voltage connections and to the signal contact with

the Safety Extra

-Low Voltages (SELV) in compliance with

IEC950/ EN 60950/VD E0805/IEC 61010 c

lass 2.

ATTENTION

This unit is a built

-in open type. When the unit is installed in

another piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit

must comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC 60950/EN60950

(or similar regulation).

- 6 -

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before in

stalling and/or

wiring your MRC

-1002 gateway.

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 rating,

the wiring could overheat,

causing serious damage to your equipment.

Please read and follow these guidelines:

•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

communications wiring and power wiring through the same wire

conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal

characteristics should be routed separately.

•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 that shares similar electrical characteristics can be

bundled together.

•You should separate input wiring from output wiring.

•We advise that you label the wiring to all devices in the system.

Wiring the Power Input (12-36V DC)

Connect the power adapter with the 3-pin terminal block on the top

panel of the MRC-1002 gateway and push the power terminal block into

the terminal block socket. When the system boots up, the system is

ready, and the Power LED will light up.

STEP 1:

Insert the negative/positive DC wires

into the V

-/V+ terminals, respectively.

STEP 2:

To keep the DC wires from pulling loose,

use a small flat

-blade screwdriver to tighten the

wire

-clamp screws on the front of the terminal

block connector.

STEP 3:

Insert the plastic terminal block

connector prongs into the terminal block receptor

located

on the top panel of the MRC-1002

gateway.

STEP 1 / STEP 2:

STEP 3:

ATTENTION

Before connecting the MRC

-1002 gateway to the DC power

input, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable. The

wire must be able to withstand at least 105°C.

- 7 -

Grounding the MRC-1002 Gateway

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to

electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from

the terminal block to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well

-grounded

mounting surface such as a metal panel.

Wiring the Relay Contact

The MRC-1002 Series has one relay output. This relay contact uses two

contacts of the terminal block on the bottom panel of the MRC-1002

gateway. Refer to the next section for detailed instructions on how to

connect the wires to the terminal block connector, and how to attach

the terminal block connector to the terminal block receptor. In this

section, we illustrate the meaning of the two contacts used to connect

the relay contact.

FAULT:

The two contacts of the 5-pin terminal block connector are used to

detect user-configured events. The two wires attached to the fault

contacts form an open circuit when a user-configured event is

triggered. If a user-configured event does not occur, the fault circuit

remains closed.

Wiring the Digital Input

The MRC-1002 gateway has one digital input (DI). The DI consists of

two contacts of the 5-pin terminal block connector on the MRC-1002

bottom panel, which are used for the DC input. The top view of the

terminal block connectors is shown above.

STEP 1: Insert the negative (ground)/positive DI wires into the ┴/I

terminals, respectively.

STEP 2: To keep the DI wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade

screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the

terminal block connector.

STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the

terminal block receptor, which is located on the bottom panel of the

MRC-1002 gateway.

Wiring the Serial Ports

The MRC-1002 gateway has one serial port. Each port can be

configured by software for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. The pin

assignments for the ports are shown in the following table.

SIM Card Socket

The MRC-1002 gateway LTE version comes with a SIM card socket

(normal SIM size) for cellular communications. The SIM card socket is

located at the lower part of the front panel. To install them, remove the

screw and the protection cover to access the socket, and then plug the

SIM card into the socket directly. You will hear “click” when finished.

Push the SIM card again to release it from the socket.

Cellular Antenna

The MRC-1002 gateway cellular

version has two antennas in the

package. Screw

the antennas into

the cellular sockets marked as W1

and W2 on the front panel.

USB Port

The USB 2.0 port (type A connector) is located at the lower part of the

front panel, and supports a USB storage device driver for FAT, FAT32

and NTFS. The pinout of the USB port is as below.

Ethernet Ports

The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the front panel of the MRC-1002

gateway are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. The ports

are at “Auto MDI/MDI-X” mode by default, which is suitable for

straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cables. In what follows, we give

pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type)

ports. We also give cable wiring diagrams for straight-through and

cross-over Ethernet cables.
