Mounting Instructions

DIN-rail Mounting

The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate is already attached to the product’s casing. To mount the device on to a DIN rail, make sure that the stiff metal spring is facing upwards and follow these steps.

1. Pull down the bottom slider of the DIN-rail bracket located at the back of the unit

2. Insert the top of the DIN rail into the slot just below the upper hook of the DIN-rail bracket.
   

3. Latch the unit firmly on to the DIN rail as shown in the illustrations below.

4.  Push the slider back into place.
   

Wall Mounting (optional)

The device can be mounted on to a wall using a wall-mounting kit. The optional wall-mounting kit should be purchased separately. Follow these steps to mount the device on to a wall:

1. Use four screws to fasten the wall-mounting brackets on the left panel of the device.
2. Use another four screws to mount the device on to a wall or in a 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 mount 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 located on the top panel of the device. Connect it to an appropriate grounded metal surface. 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 LED will light up. Both models support dual power inputs for redundancy.

Use wires with 12 to 26 AWG wire size to connect to V+, V-, and GND.
The wire size of the power input and the earthing conductor should be the same. Remove 8 to 9 mm of the DC wires’ protective cover and use a torque of 4 .5lb-in/0.51Nm to connect the wire. The max. wire temperature should not exceed 100°C. The terminal blocks do not accommodate more than one conductor wire per clamping point.

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD!

Do not disconnect equipment unless the power has been removed or the area is known to be non-hazardous.

WARNING

• This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power adapter or DC power source whose output meets SELV/LPS. The power source must be rated 12 to 48 VDC, minimum 1 A, and minimum TMA = 85°C.
• 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

There are four digital inputs and four digital outputs on the top panel. Refer to the figure on the left for detailed pin definitions.

Use wires with 16 to 28 AWG wire size to connect to DI, DO, and GND.

The exposed conductor wire length should be 7-8 mm and the max. wire temperature should not exceed 100°C. The terminal blocks do not accommodate more than one conductor wire per clamping point.

Communication Connections

Connecting to the Network

The two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports (LAN 1 and LAN 2) use RJ45 connectors. Refer to the figure to the

Connecting to Serial Ports

The two serial ports (P1 and P2) use DB9 interface. Each port 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:

Inserting the microSD Card

The device comes with a micro-SD slot for storage expansion. The microSD slot is located at the lower part on the front panel. To install the card, remove the screw and the protection cover to access the slot and insert the microSD card into the slot.

You will hear a click when the card is in place. To remove the card, push the card in before releasing it.

Connecting to the Console Port

The console port is an RS-232 port located on the top panel, and can be connected to a 4-pin pin header cable. You can use this port for debugging or firmware upgrade.

Connecting a USB Device

The device comes with a USB port located on the lower part of the front panel, allowing users to connect to a device with an USB interface. The USB port uses a type-A connector.

Connecting a CAN Device

A CAN port with a DB9 interface is located on the bottom panel. Refer to the figure below for detailed pin definitions.

Inserting a SIM Card

The device comes with two SIM card slots to install up to two SIM cards for cellular communication.

1. Remove the screw on the SIM card holder cover located on the bottom panel of the device.
   

2. Insert the SIM card into the socket. Make sure you insert it in the right direction. To remove the SIM card, press the SIM card in to release and then pull out the SIM card.
   

Connecting the Antennas

There are two cellular antenna connectors (C1 and C2) on the front panel of the device. In addition, a GPS connector is provided for the GPS module. All three are SMA type connectors. Connect the antennas to these connectors as indicated.

The device also comes with two Wi-Fi antenna connectors (W1 and W2) on the top panel of the device. Connect the antennas on the connectors as shown below. Both W1 and W2 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-300 Series hardware manual, which can be downloaded from The optional Wi-Fi wireless module is not included in the product package and must be purchased separately.
