STEP 3a: Once the screws are fixed into the wall, insert the two screw heads through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the AWK-1137C downwards, as indicated to the right. Tighten the two screws for added stability. STEP 3b: Alternatively, insert four screws directly through the AWK-1137C into the wall.
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.

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. ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
Wiring the Power Input The 3-contact terminal block connector on the AWK-1137C’s side panel is used for the AWK-1137C’s DC input. The top and front views of the terminal block connector are shown below: STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals.
Installing the Antenna-Locking Clamp Use the antenna-locking clamp to secure the antennas to the AWK-1137C for added stability when you install the device in a high-vibration environment. STEP 1: STEP 2: Slide the locking clamps through the Use screws to fix the clamps to the antenna ports.
LED Indicators The front and side panel of the Moxa AWK-1137C contains several LED indicators. The function of each LED is described in the table below: Color State Description System start up complete and the system is in operation Blinking Green Beeps Device has been located by the Wireless...
