    STEP 3: Once the screws are fixed into the wall, insert the four screw heads through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the AWK-3252A downwards (wall mounting) or forwards (ceiling mounting), as indicated to the right. Tighten the two screws for added stability.
  • Page 7 NOTE Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately. • You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
  • Page 8 Grounding the AWK-3252A 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.

  • Page 9: Terminal Block Pin Assignment

    Terminal Block Pin Assignment The AWK-3252A comes with a 10-pin terminal block located on the top panel of the device. The terminal block contains dual power inputs, a relay output, and dual digital inputs. Refer to the following figure and table for the detailed pin assignment.
