Wall Mounting (optional)

For transportation applications that require an EN50155 certification

report, you should purchase the optional wall mount for the AWK-5232,

since the wall mount has passed EN50155 testing. The wall mount is also

convenient for other applications that require mounting the AWK-5232 to

a wall.

STEP 1:

Remove the aluminum

DIN

-Rail attachment plate

from the AWK

-5232, and

then attach the wall mount

plates with

M3 screws, as

shown in the adjacent

diagrams.

STEP 2:

Mounting the AWK

-5232 to a wall requires 4 screws.

Use the AWK

-5232 device, with wall mount plates

attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of

the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less

than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the

shafts should be less

than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the

right.

Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to

allow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the

screws.

STEP 3:

Once the screws are fixed into

the wall, insert the four screw

heads through the

large

opening of the

keyhole

-shaped apertures,

and then slide the AWK

-523

downwards, as indicated to

the right. Tighten the four

screws for added stability.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power

cord before installing and/or

wiring your Moxa AWK-5232.

WARNING

Safety First!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and

common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the

maximum current allow

ed for each wire size.

If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could

overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

You should also pay attention to the following items:

•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

in 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 with similar electrical characteristics can be bundled

together.

•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

•It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system

when necessary.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit

marked

“Class 2” or “LPS” and rated O/P: 12 to 48 VDC,

max 800

mW, 25°C.

ATTENTION

Make sure

the external power adapto

r (includes power cords and

plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and suitable

for use in your country.

Grounding the Moxa AWK-5232

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 devices.

-grounded

mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector

on the AWK-5232’s top panel are used for the AWK-5232’s two DC inputs.

Top and front views of the terminal block connector is shown here.

STEP 1:

Insert the negative/positive DC wires

into the

V-/V+ terminals.

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, which is

located on the AWK-5232’

op panel.

ATTENTION

Before connecting

the AWK-5232

to the DC power inputs, make

sure the DC power source voltage is stable.

Wiring the Relay Contact

The AWK-5232 has one relay output, which consists of the two contacts of

the terminal block on the AWK-5232’s top panel. Refer to the previous

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. These relay contacts are used to indicate

user-configured events. The two wires attached to the Relay contacts

form an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If a

user-configured event does not occur, the Relay circuit will be closed.

Wiring the Digital Inputs

The AWK-5232 has two sets of digital input—DI1 and DI2. Each DI

comprises two contacts of the 10-pin terminal block connector on the

AWK-5232’s top panel. You can refer to the “Wiring the Redundant Power

Inputs” 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.
