Connecting the Device

When connecting the device to a PC, it may be helpful to use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, as many PCs have only a single Ethernet port. It is also recommended to connect the device via Wi-Fi if a wired connection is not available.

To protect the device from damage and data loss, a correct wiring and configuration of the power management settings is mandatory. The main purpose of the power management settings is that the device has a safe shutdown before the supply voltage (terminal 30/31) is disconnected.

Warning

Overload damage due to malfunction.
Risk of severe or fatal injury.

  • To limit power in the event of malfunction, secure the DC power supply circuit during installation with an external 2 A fuse.

  • The device must be installed, connected, and commissioned by a qualified technician.
  • Ensure the power supply is disconnected before connecting the device.
  • Only use components from the launch kit or the accessories supplied. Refer to chapters Launch Kit and Software and Accessories.
