Read and Follow These Guidelines:

Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the crossing point. NOTE Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately. You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together. Keep input wiring and output wiring separated. For future reference, you should label the wiring used for all of your devices. NOTE The product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Unit marked "L.P.S." (or "Limited Power Source") and is rated 9-30 VDC, 1.57-0.47 A min, Tma min. 75C. If you need further assistance with purchasing the power source, please contact Moxa for further information. NOTE If using a Class I adapter, the power cord must be connected to a socket-outlet with an earthing connection. ATTENTION Make sure the external power adapter (includes power cords and plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and suitable for use in your country or region. Grounding the AWK-1161C/AWK-1161A Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the functional ground input on the terminal block to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices. ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel. The potential difference between any two grounding points must be zero. If the potential difference is NOT zero, the product could be permanently damaged.

ATTENTION The AWK-1165C/AWK-1165A is NOT a portable mobile device and should be located at least 20 cm away from the human body. The AWK-1165C/AWK-1165A is NOT designed for the general public. To ensure that your AWK-1165C/AWK-1165A wireless network is safe and configured correctly, consult a well-trained technician to assist with the installation process. ATTENTION Use the appropriate antennas for your wireless setup: Use 2.4 GHz antennas when the AWK-1165C/AWK-1165A is configured for IEEE 802.11b/g/n. Use 5 GHz antennas when the AWK-

1165C/AWK-1165A is configured for IEEE 802.11a/n/ac. Make sure that the antennas are located in an area with a lightning and surge protection system installed. ATTENTION Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.: NFPA 70; National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 810; Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). NOTE For installation flexibility, you can use either antenna 1 or antenna 2. Make sure the antenna connection matches the antennas configured in the AWK-1165C/AWK-1165A web interface. To protect the connectors and RF module, all radio ports should be terminated by either an antenna or a terminator. We strongly recommend using resistive terminators for terminating the unused antenna ports. Software Setup This section covers the software setup for the AWK-1165C/AWK-1165A. How to Access the AWK Before installing the AWK device (AWK), make sure that all items in the package checklist are provided in the product box.
