    STEP 2: Mounting the AWK-1137C to a wall requires two screws. Use the AWK-1137C device, with wall-mounting plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the two screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and...
  • Page 7: Wiring Requirements

    WARNING Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa AWK-1137C. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes that dictate the maximum current allowed for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
  • Page 8 Grounding the Moxa AWK-1137C 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.
  • Page 9: Wiring The Redundant Power Inputs

    12-28 AWG (3.31-0.0804 mm²) and a torque value of 4.5 lb-in (0.51 Nm) ATTENTION If the AWK-1137C is connected to a motor or other similar type of equipment, be sure to use power isolation protection. Before connecting the AWK-1137C to the DC power inputs, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable.
