In this chapter, you will be given an overview of the Industrial 10/100Base TX to 100BaseFX Media Converter hardware installation procedures. Front Panel The Front Panel of the Industrial 10/100Base TX to 100BaseFX Media Converter is shown as follows. Front Panel of SP373HS 10/100TX to 100FX Industrial Media Converter...
The top panel of the Industrial 10/100Base TX to 100BaseFX Media Converter is equipped one terminal block connector of two DC power inputs. Top Panel of SP373HS 10/100Base TX to 100BaseFX Industrial Media Converter Wiring the Power Inputs Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.
Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact The fault alarm contact is in the middle of terminal block connector as the picture shows below. Inserting the wires, it will detect the fault status including power failure/port link failure and form an open circuit. Insert the wires into the fault alarm contact.

ATTENTION This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Don’t stare into the Laser/LED Beam. Cabling Twisted-pair segment can be connected with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base TX standard for Category 5. The cable between the converter and the link partner (converter, switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
Mounting Installation DIN-Rail Mounting The DIN-Rail is screwed on the unit when out of factory. If the DIN-Rail is not screwed on the unit, please see the pictures and follow the steps below to screw the DIN-Rail on the unit. Use the screws to screw the DIN-Rail on the rear side of the unit.
Page 17
After the DIN-Rail is screwed on the rear side of the unit, insert the top of DIN-Rail into the track. Then, lightly push the DIN-Rail into the track. Check if the DIN-Rail is tightened on the track or not. To remove the unit from the track, reverse steps above.
Wall Mount Plate Mounting Follow the steps below to mount the unit with wall mount plate. Remove the DIN-Rail from the unit; loose the screws to remove the DIN-Rail. Place the wall mount plate on the top & bottom side of the unit. Use the screws to screw the wall mount plate on the unit.
Network Connection In this paragraph, we will describe how to install the Industrial 10/100Base TX to 100BaseFX Media Converter. Installation Steps Unpack the unit packing. Check the DIN-Rail is screwed on the unit. If the DIN-Rail is not screwed on the unit. Please refer to DIN-Rail Mounting section for DIN-Rail installation.

To hang the unit on the DIN-Rail track or wall, please refer to the Mounting Installation section. Power on the Unit. How to wire the power; please refer to the Wiring the Power Inputs section. The power LED on the unit will light up. Please refer to the LED Indicators section for meaning of LED lights.
Troubles shooting Verify that you are using the right power cord/adapter (DC 12-48V), please don’t use the power adapter with DC output bigger than 48V, or it will burn this converter down. Select the proper UTP/STP cable to construct your network. Please check that you are using the right cable.
