Reset Button
Reboots or restores the AIG-100 to factory default settings. Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip, to activate this button.
- System reboot: Press and hold the Reset button for one second or less.
- Reset to the default configuration: Press and hold the Reset button till the SYS LED blinks (approximately seven seconds)
Installing the AIG-100
The AIG-100 can be mounted on to a DIN rail or on to a wall. The DINrail mounting kit is attached by default. To order a wall-mounting kit, contact a Moxa sales representative.
DIN-rail Mounting
To mount the AIG-100 on to a DIN rail, do the following:
- Pull down the slider of the DIN-rail bracket at the back of the unit
- Insert the top of the DIN rail into the slot just below the upper hook of the DIN-rail bracket.
- Latch the unit firmly on to the DIN rail as shown in the illustrations below.
- Once the computer is mounted properly, you will hear a click and the slider will rebound back into place automatically.
Wall Mounting (optional)
The AIG-100 can also be wall mounted. The wall-mounting kit needs to be purchased separately. Refer to the datasheet for more information.
-
Fasten the wall-mounting kit to the AIG-100 as shown below:
-
Use two screws to mount the AIG-100 on to a wall. These two screws are not included in the wall-mounting kit and must be purchased separately. Refer to the detailed specifications below:
Head Type: flat
Head Diameter >5.2 mm
Length >6 mm
Thread Size: M3 x 0.5 mm
Connector Description
Power Terminal Block
A person trained for the job should install the wiring for the input terminal
block. The wire type should be copper (Cu) and only 28-18 AWG wire size and
torque value 0.5 N-m should be used.
Power Jack
Connect the power jack (in the package) to the AIG-100’s DC terminal block (on
the bottom panel), and then connect the power adapter. It takes several
seconds for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the SYS LED will
light up.
NOTE
The product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Unit marked
“L.P.S.” (or “Limited Power Source”) and is rated 9-36 VDC, 0.8 A min., Tma =
70°C (min). If you need further help with purchasing the power source, please
contact Moxa for further information.
Grounding
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise because of electromagnetic interference (EMI). There are two ways to connect the AIG-100 grounding wire to the ground.
- **Through the SG (Shielded Ground):
** The SG contact is the left-most contact in the 3-pin power terminal block connector when viewed from the angle shown here. When you connect to the SG contact, the noise will be routed through the PCB and the PCB copper pillar to the metal chassis.
- **Through the GS (Grounding Screw):
** The GS is next to the power connector. When you connect to the GS wire, the noise is routed directly through the metal chassis.
NOTE The grounding wire should have a minimum diameter of 3.31 mm2.
NOTE If using a Class I adapter, the power cord must be connected to a socket-outlet with an earthing connection.
Ethernet Port
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port uses the RJ45 connector. The pin assignment of the port is as below:
| Pin | Signal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Tx+ |
| 2 | Tx- |
| 3 | Rx+ |
| 4 | – |
| 5 | – |
| 6 | Rx- |
| 7 | – |
| 8 | – |
Serial Port
The serial port uses the DB9 male connector. Software can configure it for the RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 mode. The pin assignment of the port is as below:
| Pin | RS-232 | RS-422 | RS-485 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DCD | 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 | – | – |
| 9 | – | – | – |
SIM Card Socket
The AIG-100-T-AP/EU/US comes with two nano-SIM card sockets for cellular
communication. The nano-SIM card sockets are on the same side as the antenna
panel. To install the cards, remove the screw and the otection cover to access
the sockets, and then insert the nanoSIM cards into the sockets directly. You
will hear a click when the cards are in place. The left socket is for
SIM 1 and the right socket is for
SIM 2. To remove the cards, push the cards in before releasing them
RF Connectors
The AIG-100 comes with RF connectors to the following interfaces.
Cellular
The AIG-100-T-AP/EU/US models come with a built-in cellular module. You must
connect the antenna to the SMA connector before you can use the cellular
function. The C1 and C2 connectors are interfaces to the cellular module. For
additional details, refer to the AIG-100 Series datasheet.
GPS
The AIG-100-T-AP/EU/US models come with a built-in GPS module. You must
connect the antenna to the SMA connector with the GPS mark before you can use
the GPS function.
SD Card Socket
The AIG-100 models come with a SD-card socket for storage expansion. The SD card socket is next to the Ethernet port. To install the SD card, remove the screw and the protection cover to access the socket, and then insert the SD card into the socket. You will hear a click when the card is in place. To remove the card, push the card in before releasing it.
USB
The USB port is a type-A USB 2.0 port, which can be connected to Moxa UPort
models to extend the serial port capacity.
Real-time Clock
A lithium battery powers the real-time clock. We strongly recommend that you
do not replace the lithium battery without the help of a Moxa support
engineer. If you need to change the battery, contact the Moxa RMA service
team.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type
of battery. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions in the
warranty card.
