Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Mount in approved enclosure or panel.

  1. Mounting: Secure to DIN rail or panel using provided brackets.
  2. Power connection: Connect 24V DC to terminals (+V, GND) or use PoE via Ethernet port.
  3. Field wiring: Connect digital inputs, relay outputs, and communication cables to appropriate terminals.
  4. Network connection: Connect Ethernet cable for network communication.

WARNING! Ensure power is disconnected during installation. Use proper wire gauges and follow local electrical codes.

First-Time Setup

Apply power; follow initial setup wizard on touchscreen.

  1. Language selection: Choose interface language (default: ENGLISH).
  2. Network configuration: Set IP address (DHCP or static).
  3. Protocol configuration: Select primary communication protocol (Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet MS/TP, KNX).
  4. User accounts: Create administrator and operator accounts.
  5. I/O configuration: Map digital inputs and relay outputs to points.

CAUTION! Secure all connections properly. Test inputs and outputs before placing in service.
