Powering the router
The NWL-15 router can be powered in one of two ways:
1.
DC power input via 6-pin connector (8-40V DC)
2.
DC power input via field terminated power source (8-40V DC)
The green power LED on the router lights up when a power source is connected.
DC power via 6-pin connector
The DC input jack can accept power from a separately sold DC power supply. Both a standard temperature range DC power
supply and an extended temperature range DC power supply are available to purchase as accessories.
To power the device via DC Power via the 6-pin connector, remove the attached green terminal block from your router and connect
the external DC power supply to the router's green DC power jack.
DC power via field terminated power source
If an existing 8-40V DC power supply is available, you can insert the wires into the supplied terminal block to power your router. Use
a flathead screwdriver to tighten the terminal block screws and secure the power wires, making sure the polarity of the wires are
correctly matched, as illustrated below.
Viewing power source information
You can view the current power input mode in the Advanced status section of the device's web user interface. This is useful for
remotely monitoring the device. You can also use the Software Development Kit to access this information for advanced purposes
(e.g. configuring SMS alerts to inform you of the power status of the router).
To view the router's power source information, log in to the router and expand the Advanced status box on the status page. See
the
Status
section of this manual for more information on the status page.
