Mounting Dimensions DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back panel of Weidmüller Media Converter when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the device, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below. STEP 1: Insert the top of the DIN-Rail into the slot just below the stiff metal spring. STEP 2: The DIN-Rail attachment unit will snap into place as shown below.
metal spring metal spring DIN-Rail DIN-Rail To remove the Media Converter from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2 above. Wall Mounting (Optional) For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the Media Converter on the wall, as illustrated below. STEP 1: Remove the aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate from the device, and then attach the wall mount plates, as shown in the diagrams below. ⇒ STEP 2: Mounting the Media Converter on the wall requires 4 screws.

ATEX Information Certification number DEMKO 11 ATEX1106692x Ambient range (-40°C ≤ Tamb ≤ 75°C) Certification string (Ex nC nL IIC T4) Standards covered ( EN60079-0:2006, EN60079-15:2005) The conditions of safe usage: y The Ethernet Communication Devices are to be mounted in an IP54 enclosure and used in an area of not more than pollution degree 2 as defined by IEC60664-1. A 4mm2 conductor must be used when a connection to the external grounding screw is used.
WARNING This equipment has been evaluated as EEx nC IIC T4 equipment under DEMKO Certificate No. 03 ATEX 0324537U. Each module is marked with II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2 Explosive Atmospheres. Devices must be installed in a minimum IP 54 enclosure as defined in IEC 60529 and EN 60529. ATTENTION This unit is a built-in type. During installation into certain end equipment, it must comply with fire enclosure stipulations of IEC 60950/EN60950, or similar statements.
ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel. Wiring the Alarm Contact The Alarm Contact is made up of the two middle contacts of the terminal block on the Media Converter’s top panel. Refer to the next section for detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector to the terminal block receptor.
ATTENTION Before connecting the device to the DC power inputs, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable. Communication Connections IE-MC-VL models have one 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port, and one 100BaseFX (SC or ST type connector) fiber port. 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the Media Converter’s front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.
data from device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission. All you need to remember is to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit) port of device II. SC-Port Pinouts ST-Port Pinouts Tx Tx Rx Rx ATTENTION This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Do not stare into the Laser Beam. Redundant Power Inputs Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources.
Dip Switch Setting IE-MC-VL Series DIP switch Dip Switch 1 (Default: Off ) ON 1 DIP 2 3 ON: Enables the PORT Alarm. If the port’s link fails, the relay will form an open circuit and the fault LED will light up. Off: Disables the corresponding PORT Alarm. The relay will form a closed circuit and the Fault LED will never light up.
