Dimensions (unit = mm)

Attaching Antennas

The AWK-6232 includes two dual-band omnidirectional antennas by

default. Attach the antennas as illustrated below:

Step 1: Hold the antenna metal N-type connector.

Step 2: Screw the antenna N-type connector (male) onto the AWK-6232

device’s N-type connector (female)

Caution

Do not hold the rubber plate

to screw the antenna on to the

AWK-6232 device.

ATTENTION

Use the antennas correctly

Use 2.4

GHz antennas if the AWK-6232 operates in IEEE

802.11b/g/n. Use the 5

GHz 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 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 on the wall

requires 4 screws. Use the AWK

-6232

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

more than 5.0

mm in diameter, as

shown in the figure.

Do not drive the screws in all the way into 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

Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screws into

one of the keyhole shaped

apertures of the wall-

mounting plates

before attaching the plates to 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 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, whose shafts are

between 7.0 mm a

nd 8.5 mm in diameter, and fix the AWK-

6232

directly onto wall before tightening the screws to secure it.

DIN-Rail Mounting (Optional)

The DK-DC50131 die-cast metal kit, which

can be bought separately,

is required to

enable easy and robust installation

for the

AWK

-6232. A pair of DK-DC50131s is

needed for DIN

-rail mounting of the

AWK

-6232. Attach the DIN-rail mounting

kits

to the rear panel of AWK-6232 with 12

screws. (6 screws for each kit)

as shown in

the illustration.

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

elow the upper hook of the DIN-rail

mounting kit. Push the AWK

-6232 toward

the DIN r

ail 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 out and upward.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Safety First!

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

wiring your Moxa AWK

-6232.

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

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

otential difference between two ground potentials, otherwise

there is a risk that the device could be destroyed.

Installations with Unstable Power Inputs

There are cases where the device has to be wired to the same power

source as other equipment. In such cases if equipment such as motors

that are connected in the circuit draw a large amount of current during

operation, the transient voltage drop could potentially cause the AWK to

become unstable. Installing a DC/DC power isolator in between the two

equipment is recommended to isolate the transient effect and to ensure a

- 9 -

stable power input for the AWK.

Installations with Cable Extended Antennas for Outdoor

Applications

If the antenna or the AWK device is installed outdoors or in an open-air

setting, proper lightning protection is required to prevent direct lightning

strikes on the AWK device. In order to prevent coupling currents from

nearby lightning strikes, a lightning arrester should be installed as part of

your antenna system. Ground the device, antenna, as well as the arrester

properly to provide maximum outdoor protection for the device.

Arrester Accessories

•SA-NMNF-01: Surge arrester, N-type (male) to N-type (female)

•SA-NFNF-01: Surge arrester, N-type (female) to N-type (female)

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The AWK-6232 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 is powered via DC power, the M12

A-coding connector on the bottom panel is used for the AWK-6232’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:

18 W.

Make sure

the external power adapte

r (includes power cords and

plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and suitable

for use in your c

ountry.

Before connecting the AWK

6232 to the DC power inputs, make

sure the DC power source voltage is stable.

ATTENTION

Do not use a PoE injector with the PoE (Power

-over-Ethernet)

model. Instead, use an IEEE802.3af or

IEEE802.3at compliant

PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment).

Wiring the Digital Inputs and Relay Contact

(Digital Output)

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

comprises two contacts of the 8-pin M12 connector on the AWK-6232’s

bottom panel. These two digital inputs can be connected to

digital-output-enabled sensors for on-site status monitoring.

The AWK-6232 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’s DIs and relay.
