Wiring Requirements

WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa OnCell G3470A-LTE.

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.

ATTENTION
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated O/P: 9.6 W (12 V/0.78 A to 48 V/0.2 A).

ATTENTION
Make sure that the external power adapter (includes power cords and plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and suitable for use in your country.

Grounding the Moxa OnCell G3470A-LTE
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 OnCell G3470A-LTE’s top panel are used for the OnCell G3470A-LTE’s two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal block connector are shown here.

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 OnCell G3470A-LTE’s top panel.

ATTENTION
Before connecting the OnCell G3470A-LTE to the DC power inputs, make sure that the DC power source voltage is stable.
