Hardware and Installation Manual Page 10 of 17 3 Electrical Installation 3.1 Safety Instructions • The power supply circuit must comply with the requirements of the SELV circuits (see EN 60950). • The signal circuits must comply with the requirements of the SELV circuits (see EN 60950). Glossary SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage – Protective measure against dangerous body currents. Protective first voltage, circuit not floating. EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility RxD Receive Data TxD Transmit Data 3.2 Position of Ports All connectors are at the bottom side of the unit. The connectors are labeled on the read side of the unit.
i-PORT F310 Page 11 of 17 3.3 Power Supply The i-PORT F310 can be powered parallel in two ways: • Mains voltage applied to the connector labeled “AC SUPPLY, 47 … 63 Hz, 90 … 260 VAC” • DC voltage of 10 to 30 VDC applied to the bus connector labeled “RS 485, DC SUPPLY IN, 10 … 30 VDC”. So it is easy to have the mains supply as standard plus a backup battery for uninterrupted operation during power failures. Necessary decoupling circuitry is built-in. Warning Do not apply supply voltage to the connector labeled “RS 485, DC SUPPLY OUT, 10 … 30 VDC”. 3.4 RS 485 Bus Connectors Warning Do not apply supply voltage to the connector labeled “RS 485, DC SUPPLY OUT, 10 … 30 VDC”. 3.5 RS232/USB Connector This connector is intended for service and set-up during initial operation. In standard operation this connector is unused. Always use the cap to protect the connector. Please pay attention to the limitations of cable runs of RS232 (max. 15 m) and USB (max 5 m). Adapter cables to a PC 3.6 Ethernet Connector Warning Do not connect any device to your network before it has been configured. Before connecting to your network, check that the desired IP address has been set. A not-configured device may have any IP address. A device with the wrong settings may impede the functioning of your network. Ethernet interface with 10 or 100Mbit/s. Connect the central unit to your network with a wired 1:1 network cable. The host connection is a RJ45 socket. Use a regular Ethernet cable here. The allocation corresponds to that of simple network adapters in PCs (10/100-Base T). Therefore, to connect to the network or the hub, a simple 1:1 network cable is required. If you want to connect directly to a computer you must use a so-called crossed cable.

i-PORT F310 Page 15 of 17 5 Maintenance 5.1 General In principle, the ILR system is maintenance-free. When correctly installed it operates for many years without any problems. 5.2 Precautionary Maintenance Regular checking of all ports and cables belonging to the system is recommended. Unstable connections could lead to damage and malfunctions of the system and therefore should be repaired as soon as possible. A Brief Checklist • Are all casing intact? • Are all cables intact? • Are all connectors intact? • Are all connectors securely fastened? • Are all screws still tight? • Is there suddenly a malfunction at a specific unit?
Hardware and Installation Manual Page 16 of 17 5.3 Spare Parts 5.3.1 Recommended spare parts stock In order to keep the down time of the system during malfunctions as short as possible it is recommended to have certain spare parts in stock. At least one central unit, one antenna and one antenna cable should be available. With larger systems with more than approx. 15 i-PORTs the doubling of the recommended stock quantity should be considered. Furthermore, it is recommended to have several spare tags in stock, corresponding to approx. 0.5 – 1 % of the total number of tags. 5.3.2 Preparing the spare parts In general all spare parts can be used immediately after delivery from IDENTEC SOLUTIONS. However, for the compact communicator there are various settings of the communication parameters. In order to keep the down times short it is recommended to set these parameters before the component is entered into the spare part stock system. In most cases all units within an identification system are used in the same way so that only one setting is required. 5.3.3 Examination and repair of exchanged parts The data tags and compact communicators are complex electronic power units on which the customer can carry out only very limited repairs. Normally the repairs are carried out at IDENTEC SOLUTIONS or possibly at a distributor. Before a part is sent in for repair a short examination should be carried out. 5.4 Returns Parts or main components returned for repair or exchange must be handled with great care. PC cards must be returned in the appropriate ESD-protecting packaging material. All returns should include a completed returns form (see appendix) and be sent to the local distributor or to: IDENTEC SOLUTIONS AG Service Department Millenium Park 2 6890 Lustenau AUSTRIA / AUTRICHE
