3. Assembly, startup procedure
and dismantling
3.1 UNPACKING, CHECKING
䡺
Check whether the package was deliver-
ed complete (see scope of delivery).
䡺
Check the individual parts for transport
damage.
z
Warning!
Use only undamaged parts!
3.2 ASSEMBLY
The equipment is delivered in a ready-to-
operate condition.
To protect the exposed contacts of the com-
ponents still to be installed from dirt, the
individual system components must be
connected in a dry and clean area.
Ports which are not assigned are to be
closed with the covering caps contained in
the scope of delivery.
Note:
Connectors are not electrical isola-
ting devices. Therefore, first plug the
connector to the power supply plug and
then switch on the power supply.
The following sequence is the best for
assembly:
䡺
Prepare assembly at the installation site:
drill holes at the installation site
䡺
Mechanical assembly at the installation
site
䡺
Electrical connection with peripheral
devices
䡺
Connect the signal lines with the twisted
pair ports
Assembly:
– Fit the module on a level surface with
three M4x16 screws.
– Provide a low impedance ground connec-
tion via the clips at the screen plate, either
by mounting directly on a conductive sur-
face or by the additional connection of a
ground wire to a fastening strap on the
screen plate. Use toothed locking washers
for a good electrical connection.
– Voltage supply
: The supply voltage is
electrically isolated from the housing.
Ground
The device is grounded via the fixing screws
of the chassis or via the pin 5 of the power
supply connector.
We recommend the grounding via the fixing
screws.
2. Configuration
2.1 CONNECTING DTE AND OTHER
NETWORK SEGMENTS
It is possible to connect up to five data ter-
minal equipment (DTE) or other network
segments to the 10/100 Mbit/s ports of the
OCTOPUS 5TX-EEC using twisted pair cab-
ling (ref. Fig. 5).
2.2 PATCH CABLES
To operate the IP67 switch, use patch cables
as shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
Notes:
– Use a shielded CAT5 cable.
– Use a shielded 4-pin M12 connector.
– Connect the cable shield to the connector
housing.
– You only need one M12-M12 patch cable
version.

A drilling template at a scale of 1:1 for
marking the drilling holes can be found on
page 2, Fig. 1.
Connection:
– The protection class IP67 is only achieved
when bolted together.
– Empty slots must be sealed with the pro-
tective caps supplied.
Notes on wiring:
In keeping with the general installation
regulations, ensure that the signal and
power lines > 60 V are laid separately (cable
duct, clamps). The signal and 24 V supply
voltage lines should be laid off the module
as straight as possible.
Notes on strain relief:
Provide sufficient strain relief and secure
cable fastening for all connected wiring.
3.3 STARTUP PROCEDURE
䡺
You start up the OCTOPUS 5TX-EEC by
connecting the supply voltage via the 5-pin
M12 connector.
