Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm)

DIN-Rail Mounting

The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back
panel of the AWK-3131 when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the AWK-3131, make sure the
stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures
below.

STEP 1:

Insert the top of the DIN

-Rail into

the slot just

below the stiff metal

spring.

STEP 2:
The DIN

-Rail attachment unit will

snap into place as

shown below.

To remove the AWK-3131 from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and

2.

- 6 -

Wall Mounting (optional)

For transportation applications that require an EN 50155 certification
report, we strongly recommend the purchase of the optional AWK-3131
wallmount kit, which has passed EN 50155 testing. This wallmount kit is
also convenient for other applications that require mounting the
AWK-3131 to a wall.

STEP 1:

Remove the aluminum
DIN

-Rail attachment plate

from the

AWK-3131, and

then attach the wall

mount

plates with M3 screws, as
shown in the adjacent
diagrams.

STEP 2:

Mounting the

AWK-3131 to a wall requires 3 screws.

Use the

AWK-3131 device, with wall mount plates

attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of
the

3 screws. The heads of the screws should be less

than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less
than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the
right.

Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to
allow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the
screws.

NOTE

Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screw into
one of the keyhole shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting Plates
before it is screwed into 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-3131 downwards, as

indicated to the right. Tighten the
three

screws for added stability.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa AWK-3131.

WARNING

Safety First!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum current allowed 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.

This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit
marked

“Class 2” or “LPS” and rated O/P: 8.5W,12 to 48 VDC,

700mA (max.), 25°C.

ATTENTION

Make sure

the external power adapto

r (includes power cords and
plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and suitable
for use in your country.

ATTENTION

Do not use

the PoE Injector. Instead, please use an

IEEE802.3af

or IEEE802.3at

compliant PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) for

PoE (Power over Ethernet) device.

Grounding the Moxa AWK-3131

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.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector
on the AWK-3131’s top panel are used for the AWK-3131’s two DC inputs.
Top and front views of the terminal block connector are shown below.

STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires
into the

V-/V+ terminals.

STEP 2:

To keep the DC wires from pulling

loose,
use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the
wire

-clamp screws on the front of the terminal

block connector.

STEP 3:

Insert the plastic terminal block

connector prongs into the terminal block
receptor, which is

located on the AWK-3131’s t

op

panel.

- 9 -

ATTENTION

Before connecting the

AWK-3131

to the DC power inputs, make

sure the DC power source voltage is stable.

Wiring the Relay Contact

The AWK-3131 has one relay output, which consists of the two contacts of
the terminal block on the AWK-3131’s top panel. Refer to the previous
section for detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the
terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector
to the terminal block receptor. These relay contacts are used to indicate
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.

Wiring the Digital Inputs

The AWK-3131 has two sets of digital input—DI1 and DI2. Each DI
comprises two contacts of the 10-pin terminal block connector on the
AWK-3131’s top panel. You can refer to the “Wiring the Redundant Power
Inputs” section for detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to
the terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal block
connector to the terminal block receptor.
