Local module power

In the majority of installations, the local module will derive all of its power 
successfully from the USB link with the computer system. However, if insufficient 
voltage is available from the computer system, the green indicator 
adjacent to the link connector will flash. If this occurs (or if you do 
not intend to use the USB connection with the computer) you will 
need to purchase and use a power supply identical to the one used 
for the remote module (part number: PSU-IEC-5VDC-2.5A) from 
your Adder stockist.

attach a serial connection lead 
to the female connector on the 
MS2 local module and attach 
the other end to a vacant serial 
port on your computer.

5  Attach the connector of the 

category 5, 5e or 6 link cable (up 
to 50 metres in length) to the 
‘TO REMOTE’ socket on the local 
module (labelled ‘LINK 1’ on MS2 
variants).

  [MS2 variant only] Attach 

the connector of a second 
category 5, 5e or 6 link cable 
(up to 50 metres in length) to 
the ‘LINK 2’ socket on the MS2 
local module.

1  If external power input is 

necessary, attach the output 
connector of the optional power 
supply to the ‘POWER’ socket of 
the local module.

2  Attach the IEC power lead 

to the power supply body 
and insert the mains plug 
of the lead to a nearby 
power outlet. 

Note: If a power adapter is 
plugged into the module 
but not switched on, it 
will prevent the unit from 
deriving power from the 
USB connection.
