Attaching Antennas

The AWK-6232-M12 inclues two dual-band omnidirectional antenna by

default. Attach the antennas as illustrated below.

Step 1:

Use your fingers and hold the antenna metal N-type connector.

Step 2: Screw the antenna N-type connector (male) onto the

AWK-6232-M12 device’s N-type connector (female)

Caution

Do not hold the rubber plate to screw the antenna on to the

AWK-6232-M12 device.

ATTENTION

Use the antennas correctly: Use 2.4GHz antennas if the

AWK

-6232-M12 operates in IEEE 802.11b/g/n. Use the 5GHz

antennas for

operations in IEEE802.11a/n. Make sure your

antenna installation is within a safe area covered by a lightning

protection or surge arrest system.

Wall Mounting

In most applications, wall mount provides an easier installation. You will

find it quite easy to mount AWK-6232-M12 on the wall, as illustrated

below.

STEP 1:

Attach the wall

-mounting kit

with M4 screws, as shown in

the diagram below.

STEP 2:

Mounting the

AWK-6232-M12 on the

wall requires 4 screws. Use t

AWK

-6232-M12 device, with

wall

-mounting kit attached, as a guide

to mark the correct locations of the 4

screws. The heads of the screws are

recommended to be between 5.5mm

and 8.5 mm in diameter, and the shafts

should not be more

than 5.0 mm

diameter, as shown

in the figure.

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

2 mm to allow room for sliding the wall-mounting kit between the wall and

the screws.

ATTENTION

You can test

the screw head and shank size by inserting the screw

into one of the keyhole shaped apertures of the wall mounting

plates before it is screwed into the wall.

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-6232-M12 downwards, as indicated to the right. Tighten

the four screws for added stability.

ATTENTION

To avoid environmental vibration or shock, you can

consider a

robust installation with

four bigger screws, which the shafts are

between 7.0 mm and 8.5 mm in diameter, and fix the

AWK-6232-M12 onto wall directly and tightly.

DIN-Rail Mounting (Optional)

The DK-DC50131 die-cast metal kit can be

bought se

parately, and enable easy and

robust installation for the

AWK-6232-M12.

pair of DK

-DC50131s is needed for DIN-

Rail

mounting. To install

the DIN-Rail mounting

kits, tightly attach the two DIN

-Rail

mounting kits on the rear panel of

AWK

-6232-M12 with 12 screws. (6 screws

for each kit)

To Install

STEP 1:

Use the recessed button

on the spring

-loaded

bracket to lock it into

position.

STEP 2:

Insert the top of the DIN

-Rail into the slot

just below the upper hook of the DIN

-Rail

mounting kit. Push the

AWK-6232-M12

toward the DIN

-Rail until the DIN-Rail

attachment bracket snaps into place.

To Release

STEP 1:

Pull out the two spring

-loaded

brackets

from the bottom until

they are fixed in the “release”

position.

STEP 2:

Pull the

AWK-6232-M12 out and

upward.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Safety First!

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

wiring your Moxa

AWK-6232-M12.

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.

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.

Grounding Moxa AWK-6232-M12

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.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to

be mounted to a well-grounded

mounting surface, such as a metal panel. There must be no

potential difference between two ground potentials, otherwise

there is a risk that the device could be destroyed.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The AWK-6232-M12 must be connected to a Power over Ethernet Plus

(PoE+) IEEE 802.3at compliant power source or an IEC60950 compliant

limited power source. When AWK-6232-M12 is powered via DC power,

the M12 A-coding connector on the bottom panel is used for the

AWK-6232-M12’s two redundant inputs. The male, device-side pin

assignment is shown below:

Power Input

V1+

V2+

V1-

V2-

GND

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

imum 800mW.

Make sure External Power Adaptor (includes power cords and

plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and suitabl

for use in your country.

Before connecting the

AWK-6232-M12 to the DC power inputs,

make sure the DC power source voltage is stable.

ATTENTION

Do not use

the PoE Injector. Instead, please use an

IEEE802.3af

or IEEE802.3at

compliant PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) for

PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) devices.

Wiring the Digital Inputs and Relay Contact

(Digital Output)

The AWK-6232-M12 has two sets of digital input—DI1 and DI2. Each DI

comprises two contacts of the 8-pin M12 connector on the

AWK-6232-M12’s bottom panel. These two digital inputs can be

connected to digital-output-enabled sensors for on-site status

monitoring.

The AWK-6232-M12 also has one relay output, which consists of the two

contacts. These relay contacts are used to detect 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.

A field-installable plug, M12A-8PF-IP67, is recommended for

connecting the AWK-6232-M12’s DIs and relay.

Communication Connections

Connecting the Data Lines

10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

AWK-6232-M12 has 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet ports (8-pin

shielded M12 connector with A coding). The 10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports

located on the AWK-6232-M12’s bottom panel are used to connect to

Ethernet-enabled devices. Below we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type)

ports and MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports.
