- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
may damage the product.
• Always observe the safety information and operating instructions of any other
devices which are connected to the product.
• Consult a technician if you are not sure how to use or connect the product, or if
you have concerns about safety.
• Maintenance, modications and repairs must only be carried out by a technician
or a specialist repair centre.
• If you have any questions that are not answered in these operating instructions,
please contact our technical customer service or other professionals.
b) Electrical safety
• Before connecting the product to the mains, check that your local A/C mains
voltage matches the specications on the nameplate.
• The power adapter is built according to protection class II. Only connect the
adapter plug to a standard mains socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz) connected to the
public grid.
• Never pour liquids over electrical devices or place objects lled with liquid next
to the device. If liquid or an object does get inside the device, power down the
respective socket (e.g. switch off the circuit breaker), and then remove the mains
plug from the mains socket. Discontinue use and take the product to a specialist
repair centre.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room
into a warm one. The condensation that forms might destroy the product. The
power adapter may also generate a fatal electric shock! Allow the product to reach
room temperature before connecting it and putting it to use. This may take several
hours.
• Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may
cause a fatal electric shock! Switch off the mains voltage to the socket containing
the power adapter (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the
safety fuse, and then switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch).
You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket. Dispose of the
faulty power adapter in an environmentally friendly manner and discontinue use.
Replace it with a power adapter of the same design.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable;
always use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, ensure that the cables are not pinched, kinked or
damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them.
This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket during
storms.
• Never leave the product unattended during use.
• The housing warms up during use. Ensure that there is sufcient ventilation. Do
not cover the housing!
• Only power the product using the power adapter provided.
• When using the power adapter, ensure that the total current consumption of all the
connected devices does not exceed 2 A.

Mounting in a 19” server rack
You can use the mounting bracket to mount the converter in a standard 19” server rack. To
mount in a server rack, proceed as follows:
• Remove all connected devices and unplug the power adapter from the mains socket
(7 or 8) on the converter.
• Use the screws provided to secure the mounting bracket to the threaded holes (9) on the
housing.
This gure is not a detailed representation of the product. It merely illustrates
installation of the mounting brackets.
• Then, mount the pre-assembled converter in the rack.
Ensure that the mains socket for connecting the power adapter is close to the place
of installation.
Setup
• Connect the USB-B port USB-IN (2) on the converter to the USB output of a computer/server
using the USB cable supplied.
• You can connect up to 2 USB devices to the USB-A outputs USB 1 and USB 2. An additional
USB cable may be required (not included). The maximum available output current per output
is 0.5 A.
• You can directly connect up to 8 devices with corresponding connectors via the connections
(with item no. 1647064).
• Use the RS485 adapter supplied to directly connect cables and
wires for RS422, if necessary. Use an appropriate screwdriver to
screw down the individual wires. Observe the printed descriptions of
the individual connection terminals.
• You can connect up to 8 devices via the RS232 connections (with item no. 1647067).
• Connect the low-voltage plug on the power adapter to the mains socket 5 V/DC (7) to connect
the 5 V/DC supply voltage.
• Alternatively, connect the low-voltage plug on the power adapter to the mains socket
9-36 V/DC (8) to connect the 9-36 V/DC supply voltage.
Never connect both power supplies at the same time. Use only one power
connection.
• Start up the converter.
