DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back panel of the AWK-5222 when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the AWK-5222, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
Once the screws are fixed into the wall, insert the four screw heads through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the AWK-5222 downwards, as indicated to the right. Tighten the four screws for added stability. Wiring Requirements...
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector on the AWK-5222’s top panel are used for the AWK-5222’s two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal block connector is shown here.
Wiring the Relay Contact The AWK-5222 has one relay output, which consists of the two contacts of the terminal block on the AWK-5222’s top panel. Refer to the previous section for detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector to the terminal block receptor.
The AWK-5222 has one RS-232 (8-pin RJ45) console port located on the front panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable to connect the Moxa AWK-5222’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then use a console terminal program to access the AWK-5222 for console configuration.
LED Indicators The front panel of the Moxa AWK-5222 contains several LED indicators. The function of each LED is described in the table below. Color State Description Front Panel LED Indicators (System) Power is being supplied from power input 1.
