Installation considerations
Installation cautions
The location selected to install the Device Server can greatly affect its performance. When selecting a site, consider the following:
Install the Device Server in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical
Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
Install the Device Server in a location free from strong electromagnetic field
generators (such as motors).
Do not expose or subject the Device Server to vibration, dust, and direct exposure
to sunlight.
Leave at least 5cm (1.97 in) of space at the front and rear of the unit for
ventilation.
To prevent the Device Server from sliding around affix the provided rubber pads
to the bottom plate or mount the device to a DIN Rail.
Observe the following cautions when installing the Device Server.
CAUTION
Only qualified persons should install the Device Server. Failure to observe this
caution could result in poor performance or damage to the Device Server.
CAUTION
Install the Device Server in an operating environment where the temperature
range is from 0ºC to 70ºC (32º to 158º F), with relative humidity of 5% to 90%, non-condensing. Failure to observe this caution could result in poor Device Server performance.
CAUTION
DO NOT install the Device Server in areas where strong electromagnetic fields
(EMF) exist. Failure to observe this caution could result in poor Device Server performance and data corruption.

DIN rail clip and DIN rail mounting
Mounting the DIN rail clip
The aluminum DIN Rail Clip should already be mounted to the back panel of the Device Server. If you need to attach the DIN Rail Clip, position the stiff-metal spring as shown in Figure 3.
DIN rail and device server mounting considerations
Figure 3: Mounted DIN Rail Clip
Consider the following before mounting the DIN rail to a surface and attaching the Device Server:
The surface must support at least 1,000 gm (2.2 lbs) for the Device Server.
Do not place heavy objects on the Device Server.
CAUTION
Mount the Device Server with proper spacing around it for ventilation (heat dissipation). Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the
Device Server.
CAUTION
Please exercise caution when using power tools. Do not install this unit in damp or wet locations, or in close proximity to very hot surfaces. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the Device Server and cables.

SDSFE31xx-100 Industrial Device Server Transition Networks
Grounding the Device Server
WARNING
Be sure to disconnect power before installing and wiring the Device Server. Failure to observe this warning could result in an electrical shock.
Wiring considerations
The following wiring considerations are recommended:
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and device data cables. If power
wiring and device data cables must cross make sure that the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire
conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics route separately.
Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should
be kept separate. The rule of thumb is wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
Keep input and output wiring separated.
Label the wiring to all devices in the system for clarity.
Device server grounding
CAUTION
The Device Server must be mounted to a well-grounded surface. Failure to observe this caution could result in EMI problems.
The Device Server can eliminate the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI) via proper grounding. Always run the ground connection from the ground screw to a grounding surface before connecting DC power. See Figure 5.
Figure 5: Device Server Grounding Screw
24-Hour Technical Support: 1-800-260-1312 International: 00-1-952-941-7600
11
Connecting power to the Device Server
Redundant power
Dual (redundant) power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources. See Figure 6. If one power source fails, the other live source acts as a backup, and automatically supplies the Device Server with power.
Figure 6: Redundant Power Connections
IMPORTANT
Power is supplied through an external DC power source. Check the Technical
Specification section for information about the DC power input voltage.
The Device Server does not include a power switch; therefore, plugging a wired and active terminal-block plug into its terminal block will immediately power UP the unit.

Connecting power to the Device Server, continued
CAUTION
When connecting DC power wires to the terminal-block plug, pay close attention to the polarity markings shown near the terminal block of the Device Server. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the device.
Terminal-block plug wiring
To wire the six-contact-terminal-block plug for redundant power, do the following:
Note: The six-contact-terminal-block plug is constructed (keyed) to mate with the
Device Server terminal block. When wiring the plug for power, use the polarity markings next to the terminal block on top of the Device Server to ensure proper connection.
Step Action
1. Turn the external power source OFF.
2. Strip the power wires as required.
3. Insert one stripped power wire into the terminal-block plug, Observe
polarity. See Figure 7.
4. Secure the wire using a flathead screwdriver by tightening the contact
screw. See Figure 7.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until all wires are installed and secured.
