If you forget the password, use a pointed object,
such as a straightened paper clip or toothpick, to
press the reset button. The Ready LED will blink on
and off while the factory default settings are being
loaded. Once the Ready LED stops blinking (after
about 5 seconds), release the reset button. You will
hear a beep, which indicates that the default settings
have been restored, and CN2510 has rebooted.

Basic Operation
：
If the CN2510 is working properly, the LCM panel will display a green color.
The red Ready LED will also light up, indicating that the CN2510 is
receiving power. After the red Ready LED turns to green, you will see a

There are four push buttons on CN2510’s nameplate. Going from left to right,
the buttons are:

The buttons are manipulated in a manner similar to the way a modern cellular
phone operates. As you move through the various functions and setting
options, note that the top line shows the current menu or submenu name, and
the bottom line shows the submenu name or menu item which is activated by
pressing the SEL button.

4. Hardware Installation
1.
Installing CN2510
Open the package, and place CN2510 on a desktop, or attach it to a
standard rack cabinet.
2.
Wiring Requirements
A.
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
B.
NOTE
: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power
wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with
different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
C.
Where necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all
devices in the system.
3.
Connecting the Power
AC: Connect CN2510 100-240 VAC power line with its AC connector. If
the power is properly connected, the “Ready” LED will show a solid
red color until the system is ready, at which time the “Ready” LED
will change to a green color.
DC: Connect CN2510-16/8-48V’s power cord to CN2510’s DC
connector, and then follow the steps given below:
V+ V-
ON
OFF
1.
Loosen the screws on the V
+
and V
-
terminals of
CN2510-8/16-48V’s terminal block.
2.
Connect the power cord’s 48 VDC wire to the
terminal block’s V
+
terminal, and the power cord’s
DC Power Ground wire to the terminal block’s V
-
terminal, and then tighten the terminal block screws.
(Note: CN2510-8/16-48V can still operate even if the
DC 48V and DC Power Ground are reversed.)
If the power is properly connected, the “Ready” LED will show a solid red
color until the system is ready, at which time the “Ready” LED will
change to a green color.
