■ Connecting the power supply
Connect the 24 VDC power supply to the power terminal of the N-L1.
• Method of using the RESET/RUN switch
RESET For setting the N-L1 such as IP addresses, set it to the RESET side.
RUN To switch to the run mode, set it to the RUN side.
■ Initial settings of the N-L1
When the N-L1 is turned on with the RESET switch set to ON, the initial
settings of the Ethernet is as follows:
IP address 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 0.0.0.0
System Configuration Figure
E N-L1-IM
• Using a power supply other than 24 VDC may cause
product failure.
• The N-L1 does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet).
Be sure to supply 24 VDC power to the power terminal.
The dimensions of crimp contacts used for wiring should be as follows:

■ Installation precautions
• When installing the N-L1, do not block the ventilation slots on the
top and bottom of the unit. Otherwise, heat builds up inside the
unit, causing product failure.
• If the temperature of the N-L1 will foreseeable exceed the upper
limit of the operating temperature (50°C), take the appropriate
measures such as performing forced air cooling or ensuring
proper ventilation so that the temperature does not exceed the
upper limit of the normal operating temperature (50°C).
■ Installing and removing the N-L1 to and from the DIN rail
• Installing the N-L1 to the DIN rail
1 Lower the mounting tab on the back of the N-L1.
Check that the mounting tab is placed in the position shown in the
following diagram.
■ Wiring the Ethernet port
Use a “straight cable” to connect the N-L1 to the hub; use a “crossover
cable” to connect it to the personal computer directly.
* Use a cable of category 5 or higher. (Both STP and UTP can be used)
* The extended length must not exceed 100 m.
The N-L1 does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet).
Be sure to supply 24V DC power to the power terminal.
Installing the N-L1
■ Surrounding space
• Install the N-L1 vertically.
When the installation direction changes,
provide adequate surrounding space so
that heat does not build up.
• For ventilation, maintain a space of 50mm
or more from the top and bottom of the NL1. As long as the N-L1 is the only source
of heat generation, the N-L1 can be
installed without space on the right and
left sides.
Provide a space of 80 mm or more in front
of the N-L1 to connect the BL head.
2 Install the N-L1 to the DIN rail as shown in the following
diagram.
