Figure 7 OpenBAS-ACC-RS232 is installed 3.3.2 Memory Expansion Card (OBS-ACC-32K128) and Wireless Receiver (OpenBAS-HV-RF433R) This option is available on the OpenBAS-NWK-ETH3 only. Connect the memory expansion card and the OpenBAS-HV-RF433R wireless receiver to the I2C port shown in Figure 4. Note: When connecting the I2C ports on 2 devices, make sure to connect pin 1 on the first device to pin 1 on the second device.
The 3 V CR2032 battery is used only during power outages for real time clock and data retention. The Mircom part number for the battery is BT-007. Install the battery before mounting the device.
2. Snap the base onto the enclosure. Make sure that the mounting clip is on the bottom. 3. Snap the cover onto the enclosure. Make sure that the Mircom logo is the right way up. Attention: Always hold circuit boards by the edges to prevent damage from static electricity.
Installation 3.10 Mounting the Enclosure Attention: Mount the enclosure on a DIN rail in a National Recognized Test Laboratory certified enclosure. Do not drill holes in the enclosure or modify the enclosure in any way. To mount the enclosure on a DIN rail Mount the enclosure with the terminal labels the right way up, and the mounting clip on the bottom.
Field Wiring and LEDs Caution: Risk of Electric Shock. Disconnect the mains power before making connections to the OpenBAS device. Caution: Installation of OpenBAS devices must be in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code or the National Electrical Code, and comply with all local regulations.
To avoid intermittent communication blackouts, the isolation provided by the OpenBAS-ACC- RS485 module is highly recommended for noisy environments, and to prevent damage to the boards in extreme cases, especially if the OpenBAS-NWK-ETH3 device is inside an enclosure containing high voltage wiring.
