1. The extender is DIN rail mountable and can be located in environments with temperatures ranging from -40 to 75°C. Relative humidity should be between 5% to 95%, non-condensing.

2. Mount the extender on standard DIN rail by hooking the top rear of the extender on to the top edge of the DIN rail. As the unit is pressed into the DIN rail, the spring-loaded bottom tab should snap on, securing the bottom. To remove extender from DIN rail, use a small flathead screw driver, pull down on the spring loaded tab on the bottom of the extender while pulling bottom outward. The extender can also be panel mounted using the optional panel mount kit EIRPMKT.

3. Provide DC power to the unit between 12 – 48 volts. While only one power source is required to power up the Ethernet Extender, using two sources provides redundancy for mission critical applications. The removable terminal block accepts 14 – 24 AWG wire.

Use copper conductors only, 60/75℃, 14-24 AWG torque value 4.5 lb-in.

4. Be sure polarity matches diagram next to the terminal block. Terminals labeled Power are positive while GND is negative. An optional power port labeled Power1 is available with use of 12VDC AC to DC power adapter (PS12VDC3P).

5. Set the DIP switch located on the top of the Ethernet Extender to Loc (Local) or Rmt (Remote). Ethernet Extenders work in pairs and must have one unit set as Loc, the other as Rmt.

6. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the front of Ethernet Extender.

7. Connect the coaxial cable to the BNC port on the front of the Ethernet Extender. Opposite end connects with paired Ethernet Extender located elsewhere. Coax cable must be terminated with male BNC or F connectors. BNC to F-Type adaptor required for F style connector (included).

Note: Extender requires 12 – 48 VDC, 6.8 watts, power supply (not included).

The LED indicators give you instant feedback on status of the Ethernet Extender. Both port speeds are auto sensed.

The EIR-EXTEND-C provides one Ethernet port over existing coaxial cable.

The Ethernet Extender has two ports, a RJ-45 10/100Base TX port and the Ethernet Extender port. Existing coaxial cable can be used. If coaxial cable requires termination, use BNC or F-connectors. F style will require BNC to F-Type adaptor. When BNC extender ports on the units are connected, Lnk LED should be lit.

Ethernet Extender mode settings are made very simple by means of a switch at the top of the Ethernet Extender. One

device must be set to local (Loc) and the other to remote (Rmt) before devices are connected.

It makes no difference which unit is designated local and remote as long as they are not both set the same. BNC to F-Type Adaptor

Note: Distance and speed may vary. The above table represents the maximum performance which can be expected under ideal conditions.
