Tab. 2 Conduit sealing fitting and conduit not included.

Installation

CAUTION! Device installation and maintaining must be performed by specialist technical staﬀ only.
The external multipolar cable shield (armour) must be earthed.
All disconnected wires must be electrically isolated.
During installation of the version with multipolar cable, ensure there is 200mm of open space at the back of the housing to guarantee correct curvature of the cable.

Range of use
For indoors and outdoors installation. Operating temperature:

Continuous working: from -50°C (-58°F) up to + 65°C (149°F).
Cold start: up to -40°C (-40°F).

Relative humidity: from 10% up to 95% (no condensation).

Connecting the power supply

Electrical connections must be performed with the power supply disconnected and the circuit-breaker open.
When commencing installation make sure that the speciﬁcations for the power supply for the installation correspond with those required by the device.
Check that the power supply is adequately dimensioned.

The device can be provided with different power supply voltages. The power supply voltage is indicated on the product identification label. (3.1 Product marking label, page 3).
Perform the connections following the instructions reported in the table .

CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY

Power supply 24Vac/ 24Vdc/ 12Vdc

Tab. 3

Ethernet cable connection

The Ethernet cable shield must always be earthed via the connector. Always use a shielded RJ45 connector.

Use of Ethernet cables with the following characteristics is highly recommended:

STP (shielded)
Category 5E
RJ45 connector (crimped in compliance with standard TIA/EIA-568-B)

The product can be directly connected to an Ethernet switch.

ETHERNET CABLE CONNECTION

Tab. 4
The example below shows a typical installation.

I/O cable connection

CAUTION! TNV-1 installation type. The installation is type TNV-1, do not connect it to SELV circuits.
The shielding of the I/O cable must be grounded.

I/O CABLE CONNECTION

Tab. 5

Alarm and relay connections
The unit is equipped with the alarms and relays indicated in the table (Tab. 5, page 6).

Connecting an alarm with dry contact
In case of free contact alarm make the connection as shown in the figure.

Clean contact of the alarm can be set NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed) using the web interface.

Relay connection
Each relay is usable with the speciﬁcations described below.

Working voltage: up to 30Vac or 60Vdc.
Current: 1A max.

Use suitable cable sections with the following characteristics: from 0.2mm² (30AWG) up to 1mm² (16AWG).
Due to the absence of polarity, both terminals of the same relay can be connected either to alternating or direct current voltages.

Washing system connection

For further details on conﬁguration and use, refer to the relative manual.

Switching on

Do not turn on the unit when the ambient temperature is lower than indicated: -40°C.
The full functionality of the product is guaranteed from the following ambient temperature: -40°C.
The automatic pre-heating procedure (De- Ice) activates for 2 hours if on device switch on an ambient temperature is detected under -10 °C (+14°F). The procedure is necessary to guarantee correct operation of the devices even at low temperatures.

Before powering the product in an explosive atmosphere

Make sure that the unit and other components of the installation are closed so that it is impossible to come into contact with live parts.
Make sure that the device has been connected to an earth link as described.
Ensure the rear cover plate is correctly closed.
Ensure the product is correctly closed.
Ensure that the sealing of cable entry systems (if any) has been performed properly and the time of glue hardening has been observed.
Make sure that all parts are fastened down ﬁrmly and safely.

First start-up

Ensure the unit and the other components of the system are appropriately closed to prevent contact with live parts.
Make sure that all parts are fastened down ﬁrmly and safely.

The unit is switched on by connecting the power supply. To switch off the unit disconnect the power.

Conﬁguration

Default IP address
The unit is conﬁgured to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.The IP address acquired via DHCP is visible in the DHCP server log file.
If the DHCP server is not available, the unit automatically configures itself with a self-generated IP address in the 169.254.x.x/16 subnet. Configuring the IP address of the PC as belonging to the same subnet (example: IP address: 169.254.1.1, subnet mask: 255.255.0.0). Use an ONVIF compliant VMS or a network sniffer to find the IP address of the device (IP scan utility).

Web interface
Browsers supported (the latest version): Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox.

First access to the web pages

The first operation in configuring the device consists in connecting to the web interface.
To access the web interface of the product, simply use a browser to connect to http://ip_address.
On first access, the Home page will be displayed.
