Introduction

Overview
Moxa UC-3100 Series computers can be used as edge-field smart gateways for data pre-processing and transmission, as well as for other embedded data acquisition applications. The UC-3100 Series includes three models, each supporting different wireless options and protocols.
The UC-3100's advanced heat dissipation design makes it suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -40 to 70°C. In fact, the Wi-Fi and LTE connections can be used simultaneously in both cold and hot environments, allowing you to maximize your "data pre-processing" and "data transmission" capability in most harsh environments.

Hardware Introduction

Reset to Factory Default
For details on resetting your device to factory default values, refer to the Function Button and LED Indicators section.
ATTENTION
Reset to Default will erase all the data stored on the boot storage Please back up your files before resetting the system to the factory default configuration. All the data stored in the UC-3100`s boot storage will be erased when it is reset to the factory default configuration.

Real-time Clock
The real-time clock in the UC-3100 is powered by a lithium battery. 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.
WARNING
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect battery type.

Placement Options
The UC-3100 computer can be mounted on to a DIN rail or on a wall. The DIN-rail mounting kit is attached by default. To order a wall-mounting kit, contact a Moxa sales representative.
DIN-rail Mounting
To mount the UC-3100 on to a DIN rail, do the following: 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.

This section describes how to connect the UC-3100 to a network and connect various devices to the UC3100. The following topics are covered in this chapter:  Wiring Requirements
 Connector Description

UC-3100 Series Hardware

Hardware Connection Description

Wiring Requirements
In this section, we describe how to connect various devices to the embedded computer. You must pay attention to the following 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 the wires for signal or communication 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. · We strongly advise that you label wiring to all devices in the system for easy identification.
ATTENTION
Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring the computer.
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 be hot to touch by hand.

Connector Description
Power Connector
Connect the power jack (in the package) to the UC-3100's DC terminal block (located 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.
Grounding the UC-3100
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). There are two ways to connect the UC-3100 grounding wire to the ground.
1.Through the SG (Shielded Ground, sometimes called Protected 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.
2. Through the GS (Grounding Screw): The GS is located between the console port and the power connector. When you connect to the GS wire, the noise is routed directly from the metal chassis.
