Reset Button
The UC-5100 computer is provided with a Reset button, which is located on the front panel of the computer. To reboot the computer, press the reset button for 1 second.
Reset to Default Button
The UC-5100 is also provided with a Reset to Default button which can be used to reset the operating system back to the factory default status. Press and hold the Reset to Default button between 7 to 9 seconds to reset the computer to the factory default settings. When the reset button is held down, the Ready LED will blink once every second. The Ready LED will become steady when you hold the button continuously for 7 to 9 seconds. Release the button within this period to load the factory default settings.
Real-time Clock
The UC-5100's real time clock is powered by a non-chargeable battery. 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 UC-5100 on to a DIN rail, make sure that the stiff metal spring is facing upwards and follow these steps.

Step 1: Insert the top of the DIN rail into the slot just below the stiff metal spring in the upper hook of the DIN-rail mounting kit.

Step 2: Push the UC-5100 towards the DIN rail until the DIN-rail attachment bracket snaps into place.

Optional DIN-rail Mounting Kit
The UC-5100 can also be mounted using an optional DIN-rail mounting kit. Follow these steps for the installation. 1. Attach the optional DIN-rail mounting kit on the rear panel with
two screws. 2. Pull down the slider of the DIN-rail bracket located at the back of
the unit. 3. Insert the top of the DIN rail into the slot just below the upper
hook of the DIN-rail bracket. 4. Latch the unit firmly on to the DIN rail as shown in the
illustrations below. 5. Once the computer is mounted properly, you will hear a click and
the slider will rebound back into place automatically.
NOTE
This optional DIN-rail mounting kit should be purchased separately.

3. Hardware Connection Description
In this chapter, we describe how to connect the UC-5100 to a network and various devices for first time testing purposes.
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.
· 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. · It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices for easy identification.
ATTENTION
Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your UC-5100 Series computers. Wiring 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. This equipment is intended to be supplied by a certified External Power Supply, the output of which meets SELV and LPS regulations. · The wiring for the input terminal block must be installed by qualified and experienced professionals.
- Wire Type: Cu, FW2. - Use 28-14 AWG wire size and a torque value of 0.2 N-m. · Use only one conductor in a clamping point between the DC power source and the power input. 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. This equipment is intended for installation in Restricted Access Locations.

Connecting the Power
Terminal Block
Connect the 9 to 48 VDC power line to the terminal block, which is connector to the UC5100 Series computer. If the power is supplied properly, the "Power" LED will glow a solid green light. The power input location and pin definition are shown in the adjacent diagram.
SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground) contact is at the bottom contact of the 3-pin power terminal block connector when viewed from the angle shown here. Connect the wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface or through the grounding screw on top of the device.
NOTE
The input rating of UC-5100 Series is 9 to 48 VDC, 0.95 to 0.23 A.
ATTENTION
The product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Supply suitable for use at Tma = 85°C whose output meets ES1 and PS2/LPS rated 9 to 48 VDC, 0.95 A (min.), or 48 VDC, 0.23 A (min).
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
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. Use the green-and-yellow cable type minimum with American Wire Gauge (AWG) 14 (2.5 mm2) for grounding.

UC-5100 Series Hardware User Manual

ATTENTION
A shielded power cord is required to meet FCC emission limits and also to prevent interference with nearby radio and television reception. It is essential that only the supplied power cord be used.
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

Connecting to the Console Port

The UC-5100's console port is a 4-pin pin-header RS-232 port located on the top panel of the case. It is designed for serial console terminals, which are useful for identifying the boot up message, or for debugging system boot-up issues.
