We strongly recommend that you do not replace the lithium battery without help from a qualified Moxa support engineer. If you need to change the battery, contact the Moxa RMA service team. WARNING There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Installation Options DIN-rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate is already attached to the product's casing. To mount the UC4400A on to a DIN rail, make sure that the stiff metal spring is facing upwards and follow these steps. 1. Pull down the 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. Once the computer is mounted properly, you will hear a click and the slider will rebound back into place automatically. 2-9 UC-4400A Series HW UM Hardware Introduction Wall Mounting (optional) The UC-4400A Series can be mounted on to a wall using a wall-mounting kit as shown in the following illustrations. The optional wall-mounting kit is not included in the product package and should be purchased separately. Follow these steps to mount the computer on to a wall: Step 1 Use the four screws (M3 x 5 mm) in the package to fasten the wall-mounting brackets to the computer. Step 2 Use another four screws (M3 x 6 mm) to mount the computer on to a wall or in a cabinet. Recommended Fastening torque: 4.5 ± 0.5 kgf-cm. The additional four screws in Step 2 are not included in the wall-mounting kit package and must be purchased separately. The specifications of the additional screws required are as follows: Head Type: Pan/Doom Head Diameter 5.2 mm < OD < 7.0 mm Length > 6 mm Thread Size: M3 x 0.5P 2-10 UC-4400A Series HW UM Hardware Introduction 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. 2-11 3 Hardware Connection Description 3. In this chapter, we describe how to connect the UC-4400A to a network and various devices. The following topics are covered in this chapter: Wiring Requirements Connecting the Power Grounding the Unit Connecting the Network Connecting a USB Device Connecting Serial Ports Connecting the Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs UC-4400A Series HW UM Hardware Connection Description Wiring Requirements In this section, we describe how to connect various devices to the embedded computer. Be sure to read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any electronic device: · 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 communication 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 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. ATTENTION Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before doing installations and/or wiring. Electrical Current Caution! Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment. Temperature Caution! Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat, and consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch. Connecting the Power Connect the power jack (in the package) to the UC-4400A Series' DC terminal block (located on the top panel), and then connect the power adapter. It takes about 10 to 30 seconds for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the Power LED will light up. All models support dual power inputs for redundancy. WARNING The wiring for the input terminal block should be installed by a skilled person. The wire type should be copper (Cu), wire size should be 14 AWG to 16 AWG (2.08 to 1.31 mm²), and a torque of 0.19 n-m should be used for V+, V-, and GND connections. The wire size of the power input and earthing conductor should be the same. 3-2 UC-4400A Series HW UM Hardware Connection Description WARNING This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Unit marked LPS (Limited Power Source). The ratings for the different models in the series are as follows: · UC-4410A and UC-4414A: 9 VDC (1.53 A min) to 48 VDC (0.21 A min) and Tma = 75°C (min) · UC-4430A and UC-4434A: 9 VDC (2.11 A min) to 48 VDC (0.27 A min) and Tma = 70°C (min) · UC-4450A and UC-4454A: 9 VDC (2.13 A min) to 48 VDC (0.3 A min) and Tma = 70°C (min) If you need further information or assistance, contact a Moxa representative. WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD! Do not disconnect equipment unless the power has been removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous. ATTENTION Altitude Requirement This product and the listed power supply (LPS) adapter(s) used with it are UL-certified for operation at 2,000 meters. Although the product is tested at 5,000 meters, it is not UL-certified for this altitude. For reliable performance of the product in high- altitude installations of over 2,000 meters (e.g., 5,000 meters), use a suitable adapter that is tested and certified at the altitude (i.e.,5,000 meters). Grounding the Unit There is a grounding connector located on the top panel of the computer. Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Note that this product is intended to be mounted on a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel. The power cord adapter should be connected to a socket outlet with an earthing connection. ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel. Use the green-and- yellow cable type minimum with American Wire Gauge (AWG) 14 (2.5 mm2) for grounding. Connecting the Network The two Ethernet ports are located on the front panel of the UC-4400A computers. The pin assignments for the Ethernet port 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. 3-3 UC-4400A Series HW UM Pin 10/100 Mbps 1 Tx+ 2 Tx- 3 Rx+ 4 5 6 Rx- 7 8 Hardware Connection Description 1000 Mbps TRD(0)+ TRD(0)TRD(1)+ TRD(2)+ TRD(2)TRD(1)TRD(3)+ TRD(3)- Connecting a USB Device The UC-4400A Series computers come with a USB port located at the lower part of the front panel, allowing users to connect to a device with a USB interface.
