Complete steps 3–7 to install the
router on a 35 mm DIN rail.
NOTE: Install the router in a metal UL
approved energy management
equipment panel.
1. Position the router so the removable color
coded terminal blocks 1 are easy to access
for wiring.
NOTE: The black terminals are for power. The
gray terminals are for communication.
NOTE: Complete steps 3–7 to install the
router on a 35 mm DIN rail.
3. Position the DIN rail 3 so that when the
router is installed the color coded terminal
blocks are easy to access for wiring.
4. Pull out one of the DIN Latch 4 until it clicks
once.
5. Position the router so the top tab 5 of the
DIN release rests on the DIN rail.
6. Lower the router against the DIN rail.
7. Push in both DIN Latch 4 to engage the DIN
rail.
NOTE: To remove the router, pull the DIN

NOTE: For principles and good practices
when connecting an MS/TP network,
see Planning BACnet Networks
(Application Note AN0404A).
SELECT END OF LINE (EOL)
NOTE: The EOL switch is shipped from KMC
in the OFF position.
14. If the router is at either end of a BACnet MS/TP
network, turn the EOL switch 8 to ON.
NOTE: The Ethernet cable should be a CAT 5
or better and a maximum of 328 feet
(100 meters) between devices.
CONNECT BACNET MS/TP NETWORK
9. Wire the network to the gray BACnet MS/TP
terminal block 7.
7
8
NOTE: 18 gauge AWG shielded twisted pair
cable with maximum capacitance of 51
picofarads per foot (0.3 meters) for all
network wiring (Belden cable #82760 or
equivalent).
CONNECT POWER
NOTE: Follow all local regulations and wiring
codes.
NOTE: Use either shielded connecting cables
or enclose all cables in conduit to
maintain RF emissions specications.
NOTE: Connect a 24 VAC, Class-2 transformer
capable of supplying 8 VA to the black
power terminal block 9 of the router.
15. Connect the neutral side of the transformer to
the router's common terminal ⊥ 10.
16. Connect the AC phase side of the transformer
to the router's phase terminal ∼ 11.
10
10. Connect the –A terminals in parallel with all
other –A terminals on the network.
11. Connect the +B terminals in parallel with all
other +B terminals on the network.
12. Connect the shields of the cable together at
each device using a wire nut or the S terminal
on the controllers.
