Mounting Instructions
DIN-rail Mounting (optional)
The optional DIN-rail mounting kit is not included in the product package and
must be purchased separately. Follow these steps to mount the device on to a
DIN rail.
STEP 1: Use 4 screws to attach the DINrail mounting bracket to the
AIG501-T-AZU-LX’s rear panel and tighten the screws to secure the bracket.
STEP 2: Insert the upper lip of the DIN rail into the DIN-rail mounting
kit.
STEP 3: Press the AIG-501-T-AZU-LX towards the DIN rail until it snaps
into place.
Wall Mounting (optional)
The optional wall-mounting kit is not included in the product package and
should be purchased separately.
Follow these steps to mount the device on to a wall.
STEP 1: Attach the wall-mounting brackets to the rear side of the
AIG-501-T-AZU-LX by using two screws per bracket.
STEP 2: Use four screws per side on the wall-mounting bracket to attach
the AIG-501-T-AZU-LX to a wall or cabinet.
IMPORTANT!
The diameter of the screw heads should be greater than 7 mm and less than 14
mm; the diameter of the shafts should be less than 3 mm. The length of the
screws should be greater than 6 mm.
NOTE
- Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screws into one of the keyhole-shaped apertures of the wall mounting plates before attaching the plate to the wall.
- Do not drive the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to allow room for sliding the wall-mounting panel between the wall and the screws.
Wiring Requirements
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Grounding Requirements
There is a grounding connector on the top panel of the device. Use this
connector to connect a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Connecting the Power Supply
Connect the power jack (in the package) to the DC terminal block (located on
the top panel), and then connect the power adapter. It takes about 3 minutes
for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the power LEDs will light
up.
Use wires with 16 to 24 AWG (1.318 to 0.205 mm ) to connect to V+, V-, and
GND. The wire size of the power input and the earthing conductor should be the
same.
WARNING
- This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Adapter or DC power source marked “L.P.S.” (or “Limited Power Source”) rated 12 to 36 VDC, 2.5 A (minimum), and TMA = 70°C (minimum).
- The power adapter should be connected to a socket outlet with an earthing connection.
If you need further information or assistance, contact a Moxa representative.
Wiring the I/Os
Connecting Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs
There are four digital inputs and four digital outputs on the top panel. Refer
to the figure on the left for the pin definitions.
NOTE The load from the DO Source is not ideal for a DO. DO NOT use this
source for device safety reasons.
Connecting to a USB Device
The AIG-501-T-AZU-LX has one USB port with the type-A connector, allowing
users to connect to a device with an USB interface.
Communication Connections
Connecting to the Network
The Ethernet ports are located on the front panel of the device. The pin
assignments are shown in the following figure. If you are using your own
cable, make sure that the pin assignments on the Ethernet cable connector
match the pin assignments on the Ethernet port.
| Pin | 10/100 Mbps | 1000 Mbps |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tx+ | TRD(0)+ |
| 2 | Tx- | TRD(0)- |
| 3 | Rx+ | TRD(1)+ |
| 4 | – | TRD(2)+ |
| 5 | – | TRD(2)- |
| 6 | Rx- | TRD(1)- |
| 7 | – | TRD(3)+ |
| 8 | – | TRD(3)- |
Connecting to Serial Ports
The serial ports can be configured by software for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485.
The pin assignments for the ports are shown in the following table:
| Pin | RS-232 | RS-422/ RS-485 4w | RS-485 2w |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | – | TxD-(A) | – |
| 2 | RxD | TxD+(B) | – |
| 3 | TxD | RxD+(B) | Data+(B) |
| 4 | DTR | RxD-(A) | Data-(A) |
| 5 | GND | GND | GND |
| 6 | DSR | – | – |
| 7 | RTS | – | – |
| 8 | CTS | – | – |
Inserting the SIM Card
The device comes with a SIM card socket that allows users to install SIM card
for cellular communication. To install a SIM card, do the following:
STEP 1
Remove the screw on the SIM card holder cover located on the bottom panel of
the device
STEP 2
Insert the SIM card into the socket. Make sure you insert it in the right
direction. To remove the SIM card, press it into the socket to release and
then pull out the SIM card. 
Connecting the Antennas
For the US, EU, or AP LTE models, there are two cellular antenna connectors
(#1: Main and #2: Aux) and a GPS connector (#3) on the top panel of the
device. All three connectors are of SMA type. For the non-LTE model, there are
two Wi-Fi antenna connectors (#1: Main and #2: Aux) on the top panel of the
device. Both connectors are of RP-SMA type.
NOTE The optional Wi-Fi wireless module is not included in the product package
and must be purchased separately. Refer to the AIG-500 Series hardware manual,
which can be downloaded from https://www.moxa.com, to install the Wi-Fi
module for the device.
Connecting the Device to a PC
