702-W DIN RAIL MOUNTING

Install the unit on a standard 35mm Din-Rail. Recess the 702-W unit to allow at least 3” of horizontal

clearance for copper cable bend radius.

DIN-Rail Mounting

To mount the unit to the 35mm DIN-Rail, place

the top edge of the bracket on the back of the

unit against the DIN-Rail's top edge at an upward

angle. Then, rotate the unit downward and back

against the DIN-Rail until it snaps into place.

You may need to adjust the angle of the antennas

depending on the amount of clearance available.

To remove the vertically mounted unit from

35mm DIN-Rail, carefully apply downward

pressure on the unit. Then, rotate the unit

upward and away from the 35mm DIN-Rail and

lift up for removal.

19” Universal Rack Mounting

Most N-Tron™ products are designed to be

mounted on industry standard 35mm DIN-Rail.

However, DIN-Rail mounting may not be suitable

for all applications. Our Universal Rack Mount

Kit (P/N: URMK) may be used to mount the 702-

W to standard 19" racks as an option.

APPLYING POWER (702-W Side View)

 Unscrew & Remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from the Power Input Header

 Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug (observing polarity).

 Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the Power Input Header.

 Tightening torque for the terminal block power plug is 0.5 Nm/0.368 Pound Foot.

 Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN).

Notes:

 Only 1 power supply must be connected to power for minimal operation. For redundant power

operation, V

1

and V

2

inputs must be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. This device will

draw current from both sources simultaneously. Use 16-28 gauge wire when connecting to the

power supply.

 The LAN port supports Power over Ethernet and can be used redundantly with the power input

mentioned above.

Recommended 24V DC Power Supplies, similar to: N-Tron’s P/N NTPS-24-1.3:

 Input AC 115/230V

 Output DC 24-28V

 Output Current 1.3A @ 24V

1.0A @ 28V



Power 30W

 35 mm DIN-Rail Mountable

 Dimensions: 45X75X91 mm

M12 Power Cable Assembly

1. Cut the shielded power cable to the desired / required length. The power cable should be a shielded cable with an outer

jacket diameter of 6 to 8mm in size. The individual wires inside the cable must be between 18-24awg (stranded). The

cable must be UL recognized for use up to 110°C.

2. Using the picture below as a guide, slide the parts together in the order shown.

(Revised 2015-29-06) Page 14 of 63

3. Strip back and tin the five wires (red, black, white, green and drain wire – Note: these colors are just an example, actual

colors may vary). Cut off the water block paper and the flat EMI shield (this looks like aluminum foil). Be sure to keep

the drain wire.

4. Screw the wires into the proper assignment by following the chart below (NOTE: the colors used in this example are just

an example, actual wire colors may vary):

5. Screw the header end onto the plastic threaded sleeve (looks like a round pipe).

6. Push and screw down the pressure screw into the other end of the plastic threaded sleeve (this will compress the rubber

gasket giving you an IP67 seal on the cable’s jacket). Note: in order to make a good seal, the outer cable diameter must

be between 6-8mm and the outer jacket must be waterproof – Some plastic jackets will absorb water and are not

waterproof.

Connecting the Unit

For the 10/100 Base-TX port, plug a Category 5E twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the

other end to the far end station. Verify that the LNK/ACT LED is ON once the connection has been

completed. Use a standard Category 5E straight through or crossover cable with a minimum length of one

meter and a maximum length of 100

meters.

N-Tron recommends the use of pre-

manufactured Cat5E cables to ensure the

best performance. If this is not an option

and users must terminate their own ends

on the Cat5E cables; one of the two color

coded standards shown to the right should

be utilized. If a user does not follow one

of these two color code standards then the

performance and maximum cable distance

will be reduced significantly, and may

prevent the unit from establishing a link.

RJ45 CONNECTOR CRIMP SPECIFICATIONS

Please reference the illustration below for your Cat5 cable specifications:

(Revised 2015-29-06) Page 17 of 63

N-Tron SWITCH GROUNDING TECHNIQUES

The grounding philosophy of any control system is an integral part of the design. N-Tron switches are

designed to be grounded, but the user has been given the flexibility to float the switch when required. The

best noise immunity and emissions (i.e. CE) are obtained when the N-Tron switch chassis is connected to

earth ground via a drain wire. Some N-Tron switches have metal din-rail brackets that can ground the

switch if the din-rail is grounded. In some cases, N-Tron devices with metal brackets can be supplied with

optional plastic brackets if isolation is required.

Both V- legs of the power input connector are connected

to chassis internally on the PCB. Connecting a drain wire

to earth ground from one of the V- terminal plugs as

shown here will ground the switch and the chassis. The

power leads from the power source should be limited to 3

meters or less in length.

Alternatively, users can run a drain wire & lug from any of the

Din-Rail screws or empty PEM nuts on the enclosure. When

using an unused PEM nut to connect a ground lug via a machine

screw, care should be taken to limit the penetration of the outer

skin by less than 1/4 in. Failure to do so may cause irreversible

damage to the internal components of the switch.

Note: Before applying power to the grounded switch, you must

use a volt meter to verify there is no voltage difference between

the power supply’s negative output terminal and the device

chassis grounding point.

If the use of shielded cables is required, it is generally recommended to only connect the shield at one end to

prevent ground loops and interfere with low level signals (i.e. thermocouples, RTD, etc.). Cat5e cables

manufactured to EIA-568A or 568B specifications are required for use with N-Tron devices.

In the event all Cat5e patch cable distances are small (i.e. All Ethernet devices are located the same local

cabinet and/or referenced to the same earth ground), it is permissible to use fully shielded cables terminated

to chassis ground at both ends in systems void of low level analog signals.

Drain wire with lug connecting switch chassis to known grounding point.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Make sure the PWR (Power LED) is ON.

2. Make sure you are supplying sufficient current for the version chosen. Note: The Inrush

current will exceed the steady state current by ~ 2X.

3. Verify that Link LED is ON for the connected port.

4. Verify cabling used between stations.

5. Verify that cabling is Category 5E or greater for 100Mbit operation.

FCC STATEMENT

This product complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment

generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with

the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this

equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be

required to correct the interference at his own expense.

ANTENNA STATEMENT

The regulatory domain this equipment is installed in has a legal limit for the equivalent isotropic radiated

power (EIRP) that is determined by the output power and the antenna gain. It is the installer’s responsibility

to make sure this rule is not violated. All equipment should be professionally installed. After proper

installation the device should be properly protected to ensure regulatory compliance.

FCC sets the maximum gain for the following antenna types for the 702-W Radios;

2.4GHz Omni-Directional 5dBi

2.4GHz Panel Directional 17dBi

5.8GHz Panel Directional 21dBi

5.8GHz Parabolic Dish 32dBi

NOTE: External Antennas should be installed and operated with a minimum distance between the radiator

and any person or operator. This distance is determined by the regulatory domain the equipment is installed

in and should be calculated by the installer at the time of installation to ensure regulatory compliance and the

safety of operators around the radiator.
