Placement Options

There are two sliders on the back of the unit for DIN-rail and wall mounting.

Wall or Cabinet Mounting

Mounting UC-2100-W on to a wall requires 2 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 7.0 mm in

diameter, the shafts should be less than 3 mm in diameter, and the length of the screws should be more than

8 mm, as shown in the figure at the bottom.

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before doing installations and/or wiring.

Electrical Current

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.

Temperature Caution!

Wiring Requirements

In this section, we describe how to connect various devices to the platform. You should heed the following

common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any electronic device:

• 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 communication 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 that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

• When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.

Connecting to the Console Port

The UC-2100-W’s console port is a 4-pin pin-header RS-232 port located on the top panel of the case. It is

designed for serial console terminals, which are useful for identifying the boot up message, or for debugging

when the system cannot boot up.
