Page 6: Power Supply
All Monico Gateways™ require a regulated 24 VDC +/- 10% power source with 1000 ma power maximum. Monico Gateway from Cummins® KITS come with a 110 VAC-24 VDC power supply. If 110 VAC is not available, you must use a Class 2 or SELV rated 24 VDC power supply. It is recommended that you use either an isolated DC-DC power supply, or properly grounded engine 24v batteries to power the Gateway. - Page 7 A power supply is provided with all Monico Gateway from Cummins® Kits and has a rating of Class 2 or SELV. A Class 2 or SELV power supply provides isolation to accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains power supply due to single faults.

4 Installation The DIN rail should be mounted horizontally so that the unit’s ventilation holes are vertical in relation to cabinet orientation. A minimum clearance of 1 inch (25.4 mm) should be maintained above and below all units in order to ensure proper thermal regulation. Also ensure that enough cable clearance is allowed at the front of the Gateway to allow cable connections to the Gateway’s interface ports. -

MonicoView II supports “Live Data” viewing within a “Watch Window” that allows you to see the actual data acquired by the Monico Gateway in real time. This is a great trouble-shooting aid in determining what values are being acquired by the Gateway. Note that you must first be connected to the Gateway via USB or Ethernet in order to utilize this function. - Page 21 MonicoView II will ensure that the current configuration matches that of the Monico target device, and then will begin showing live data according to the appropriate format of the object. If the Gateway is successful in acquiring the data from the end device, it will show the value in real-time. If the Gateway is NOT able to acquire the data from the end device, it will show “n/a”...
