Powering up your IOLAN
Powering up your IOLAN
Desktop/Rack Mount Models (excluding Electric Utility models)
To power up the desktop or rack mount IOLAN, perform the following steps:
1.
Rack mount models only: Using the rack mount brackets included with your IOLAN, you can
rack mount the IOLAN from the front or the back of the chassis, depending on your
environment. Make sure you don’t block the IOLAN’s side air vents. Each IOLAN is 1U in
height, and does not require any extra space between units; therefore, you can rack mount up to
five IOLANs in a 5U rack.
2.
Plug the external power supply into the IOLAN and then into the electrical outlet. Connect it to
the PSE if you have a P series (Power over Ethernet) model.
3.
Rack mount models only: Power on the IOLAN unit using the Power ON/OFF switch.
4.
You will see the LEDs blink for several seconds and then remain a solid green, indicating that it
is ready to configure/use.
Before you start to configure the IOLAN, you should set the desktop IOLAN jumpers if you want to
terminate the line or use the power in pin feature (instead of an external power supply, if your desktop
IOLAN model supports it).
In some circumstances, the setting of jumpers may be required:
z
IOLAN DS and SDS models where EIA-422/485 line termination is required.
z
IOLAN I/O models with Digital I/O for setting the channels as input or output.
z
IOLAN I/O models with Analog I/O for setting Voltage/Current.
See
to see how to set the jumpers for your IOLAN desktop model.
Medical Unit Models
To power up the medical unit IOLAN, perform the following steps:
1.
You can attach the multi-function wall plate included with your medical unit IOLAN to the wall,
then mount the IOLAN on the wall plate. Alternatively, you can mount the IOLAN on a tabletop
or any suitable horizontal surface. See the
IOLAN MDC Hardware Installation Guide
for more
information on how to mount the medical unit IOLAN.
2.
Plug a power cable into the left side (power/Ethernet panel) of the IOLAN unit and then into the
electrical outlet.
3.
Power on the IOLAN unit using the Power ON/OFF switch.
4.
You will see the LEDs blink for several seconds and then remain a solid green, indicating that it
is ready to configure/use.
Terminal Block Models
Perform the following steps to power up the unit:
1.
Ensure power is NOT applied to the wires prior to connection.
2.
On each end wire, remove the insulation from the copper wire 5 mm (3/16 of an inch).
3.
Loosen the left screw on the top of the terminal connector block, then insert your positive (+)
wire into the left terminal and screw it down tight. Loosen the right screw on the top of the
terminal connector block, then insert your negative (-) wire into the right terminal and screw it
down tight.
Note:
For I/O models the Terminal Block is plugable.
