located on the rear side of the tube. Next, drill two 4-mm holes:

3. Twist off the sealing sleeve:

4. If necessary: Insert one or two cylindrical pins from the scope of delivery into the holes in the tube stub to limit the swivel angle. See section 4.3.1 Swivel angle limitation.

MES9000 series – Instruction manual v1.3

5. Apply a suitable lubricant to the seal and the tube end to make it easier to slide on the sealing sleeve (e.g. penetrating oil, soap or fitting grease, depending on the application type).

6. Slide the sealing sleeve onto the tube and check again that the seal is seated correctly. Then, add the spacer ring.

7. Check that the seal, which is marked in turquoise in the figure, is seated correctly. Next, screw the flange onto the device:
3.5 Nm
8. Remove the threaded pins: 2.5 mm

MES9000 series – Instruction manual v1.3

9. Route all of the required cable lines through the tube adapter and the tube.

With HDBaseTTM, the connection between the computer and monitor is established using a LAN cable with RJ45 plugs. The distances that can be bridged depend on the network infrastructure used:
· with a CAT6a patch cable without sockets etc.: max. 70 m · with a Cat. 7 or 7a LAN installation cable + sockets + two 1 m patch cables: max. 100 m
Status indicators of the transmitter module The two LEDs in the connector indicate various system states:

HDCP HDBT

LED signal Flashing red Illuminates red On Off

Action No active encryption Encryption active Connection present No connection present

HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection; HDBT = HDBaseTTM

7.3 Big-LinX® (IoT platform)
Big-LinX is a versatile and scalable platform for different IoT applications.
· To establish a connection to the Big-LinX cloud, insert the Big-LinX smart card into the slot labelled SIM. To pull the drawer out: press the yellow button with a ballpoint pen or the like.

7.4 RAID system
The device supports two separate SSD mass storage devices that can be used together with the help of RAID technology (RAID = redundant array of independent disks).
To use this function, two type M.2 2242 Key M SSD cards with a SATA interface are required. NVMe cards with a PCIe interface cannot be used.
Supported options:
· RAID level 0 striping: this RAID variant is recommended when a large data storage system with high data access speeds is required. Since the data are not stored redundantly, this level is only recommended if data loss will not result in serious consequences, e.g. because the data can be recovered easily if a storage medium fails.
· RAID level 1 mirroring: both mass storage devices redundantly store the same data in this case. If a mass storage device fails, usually no data is lost and the defective mass storage device can easily be replaced. The total storage size corresponds to the smallest of the individual storage devices used.

The desired RAID level must be specified when placing the order.

7.5 WLAN/Wi-Fi
This optional function uses the resources provided by the respective operating system and an internal antenna.
7.6 BluetoothTM
Devices with WLAN also have Bluetooth, which allows e.g. the connection of a mouse or headphones. This function uses the resources provided by the respective operating system and an internal antenna.

Configuration of the “WhlHsUart” driver
As of 12/2021, the following IOCTLs are implemented in the driver for the RS232 interface:
– IOCTL_UARTTESTTOOL_OPEN – IOCTL_UARTTESTTOOL_CLOSE – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_BAUD_RATE – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_BAUD_RATE – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_MODEM_CONTROL – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_MODEM_CONTROL – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_LINE_CONTROL – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_LINE_CONTROL – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_CHARS – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_CHARS – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_HANDFLOW – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_HANDFLOW – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_MODEMSTATUS – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_DTRRTS – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_MODEMSTATUS – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_COMMSTATUS – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_PROPERTIES – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_FIFO_CONTROL – IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_STATS – IOCTL_SERIAL_CLEAR_STATS – IOCTL_SERIAL_PURGE – IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_TIMEOUTS
As the IOCTLs IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_WAIT_MASK and IOCTLSERIAL WAIT_MASK have not been implemented in this version of the driver, it does not generate events such as RXCHAR, RXFLAG, TXEMPTY, CTS, DSR, RLSD, BREAK, ERR, RING, PERR. For this reason, user programs should not wait for events; instead, they should poll the data via read operations.
Detailed instructions for the driver “WhlHsUart” can be requested from ADS-TEC support.

7.9 Wake on LAN (WoL)
This function can be used for event-driven start-up of “sleeping” computers on the local network, such as for running updates at night.
The interfaces LAN1 … LAN 3 are available for this purpose:

The computer must be in one of the following ACPI states) in order to wake up via WoL: – State S5: computer is shut down, voltage is present – State S3: energy-saving (“sleep”) state – State S4: hibernate state
) Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
7.9.1 Settings in BIOS
The following setting must be active to enable the use of WoL: In the standard BIOS (press the [Del] key several times when starting):
– ads-tec Settings / LAN1 (i219) Wake on LAN Enable / Enabled
If the network stack has been activated, the following settings are also required: – ads-tec Settings / Intel® I210 Gigabit Network Connection [MAC1] / NIC Configuration / Wake on LAN: Enabled – ads-tec Settings / Intel® I210 Gigabit Network Connection [MAC2] / NIC Configuration / Wake on LAN: Enabled

Software / driver installation

8.1 Initial installation of the operating system
The devices are delivered with a pre-installed operating system depending on the client’s specifications. If the mass storage has been reformatted, the operating system can be reinstalled by using one of the existing interfaces (alternatively via USB or PXE). The files required for this (image, driver and firmware), along with a detailed description of the procedure, can be obtained from ADS-TEC support on request.
8.2 Write protection
If the mass storage or parts of it have been write-protected in the Configuration Center, this write protection must be removed again before changes are made to the software installation. Unified Write Filter After the software installation has been changed, the write protection must be set again and the device restarted.
8.3 Installing Hilscher netJACK modules at a later date
If these modules are installed at a later date, a driver must be installed and can be found in the following directory: C:DriversFieldbusHilscher From there, start the cifX Device Driver Setup. After successful installation, the device will appear in the device manager as cifX Communication Interface.

Cleaning

Clean the device using some glass cleaner on a soft cloth.
