2 AMAX-4817/4820 Startup Manual
FCC Class A
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 rea-
sonable 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 residential
areas is likely to cause interference; in such cases, users
are required to correct the interference at their own expense.
CE
This product has passed the CE test for environmen-
tal
specifications when shielded cables are used for
external wiring. We recommend the use of shield-
ed cables. Advantech does provide shielded cables.

AMAX-4817/4820 modules use two hexadecimal rotary
switches to represent the SubDevice ID (range: 0 ~ 255).
For example, if a user arranges the rotary switches follow-
ing the sequence “4, F”, the SubDevice ID will be set as “4
x 16 + F x 1= 79”.
AMAX-4817/4820 modules feature two power input terminals,
an input power range of +10 to +30 V
DC
, and power redundan-
cy support. For modules connected to two power input sourc-
es, if one source is inactive or interrupted, the other power
source can take over immediately. The AMAX-4817/4820
modules can operate with only a single power source.
