  • Page 4: Mounting Dimensions

    Mounting Dimensions DIN-rail Mounting When shipped, the metal DIN-rail mounting kit is fixed to the back panel of the AWK-3262A. Mount the AWK-3262A on to a corrosion-free mounting rail that adheres to the EN 60715 standard. STEP 1: STEP 2: Insert the upper lip of the DIN-rail Press the AWK-3262A towards the kit into the mounting rail.
  • Page 5 To remove the AWK-3262A from the DIN rail, do the following: STEP 1: Pull down the latch on the DIN- rail kit with a screwdriver. STEP 2 & 3: Slightly pull the AWK-3262A backwards and lift it up to remove it from the mounting rail.

    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-3262A 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-3262A 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-3262A comes with one 2-pin and one 8-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.
  • Page 10: Wiring The Digital Inputs

    ATTENTION If the AWK-3262A is connected to a motor or other similar type of equipment, be sure to use power isolation protection. Before connecting the AWK-3262A to the DC power inputs, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable. Wiring the Relay Contact The AWK-3262A has one relay output, which consists of the two contacts of the terminal block on the AWK-3262A’s top panel.
