Summary of Contents for Hydronix EA01

  • Page 1 Part Number: EPK01 Comprises: All the above plus Ethernet Power Adapter, Power Injector, IEC mains cable and 2 additional Ethernet Patch Cables Use: Provides power and Ethernet connection over standard CAT5e cable Hydronix Ethernet Adapter User Guide HD0333 Rev 2.1.0...
  • Page 2 Chapter 1 Introduction The Hydronix Ethernet Adapter provides a simple method of network enabling Hydronix products. The Adapter is a small DIN-rail mounted unit that converts packets received over an Ethernet (TCP/IP) network to RS485 or RS232. This enables a host PC elsewhere on the network to communicate with sensors using Hydronix Hydro-Com software.
  • Page 3: Connecting With Sensors

    The Ethernet Adapter should be mounted in the wiring junction box as close to the sensors as possible, and protected from water and excessive dust. The Ethernet Adapter (EA01) should be installed in such a manner as to prevent electro-static discharge to the Ethernet “IN”...

  • Page 5 IN to the router output and the port labelled OUT to the drop cable. Connect a 240V or 110V mains supply to the Power Injector. Note: The Power Injector Module can supply sufficient power for up to three Hydronix sensors (or 4 Hydro-Probe II sensors). If more sensors are to be connected to the network, then a separate power supply local to the sensors should be used instead of the Power over Ethernet solution.

    It must be connected to an Ethernet cable with an 802.11af compliant Power Injector supplying it. The Ethernet Adapter (EA01) has three indicator lights on the top. The red indicator illuminates when a suitable 24V supply is connected. The transmit indicator light blinks when data is received by the Adapter and is being sent to the sensors.
  • Page 7 Winsock or TCP Client control to port 10001 on the Adapter. Further information on these controls can be found in the programming system documentation. Although Hydronix is able to provide guidance they may be unable to give detailed technical support for developing custom software applications.
  • Page 8 In order to maintain compliance with the relevant product directives, this equipment should only be installed and used with the approved components supplied by Hydronix. Unauthorized modifications to these units could void the units compliance and invalidate the users right to use the equipment.
  • Page 9 Ethernet Adapter, ensuring that the wire is of sufficient power rating to carry the power for the Hydro-Control VI and it’s sensor. Connect RS232 cables between the Ethernet Adapter and the Hydro-Control VI. Hydronix Ethernet Adapter User Guide HD0333 Rev 2.1.0...
