Installation Instructions
1. Attach the box
Attach the MX-232-IO-Box at the mounting position with the cable ports
pointing downwards (torque 0.4 Nm). Next, remove the box cover (three
screws).
2. Establish connection to the camera
You need to follow different procedures depending on the connection option:
•
Option 1 –
USB
– Remove the slim sealing ring of the straight plug of the USB cable*.
– Pull the delivered blue sealing ring over the plug, so that the smaller
opening points into the same direction as the plug's contacts.
– Remove blue bayonet catch of the MX-232-IO-Box and pull out
the blue plug.
– Plug the USB cable with attached sealing ring into the MX-232-IO-Box
and secure the cable using the blue bayonet catch.
– Connect the USB cable to the camera (
➔
Camera Manual).
•
Option 2 –
MxBus
–
Before proceeding, make sure there is no voltage on the MxBus
wires!
– Cut the MxBus wires to size (2-wire, 0.6 to 0.8 mm diameter). When
using
wires without jacket
, strip the insulation of the wires for 5 mm
and push the wires through the eight-wire plug (right).
When using a
cable with jacket
, remove the pre-installed eight-wire
plug and insert the appropriate cable plug (3 to 5 mm or 5 to 7 mm).
Press the rubber plug into the casing in such a way that the rims
stick out equally on both sides. Push the cable through the plug,
remove the jacket on a length of 15 mm and strip the insulation of
the wires for about 5 mm.
– Connect the MxBus wires to the terminals of the MX-232-IO-Box
using the screwdriver. Make sure to maintain the polarity (see sticker
in front of the terminal).
– Connect the MxBus wires as described in the corresponding manual
to the MOBOTIX camera or to another MxBus module connected to
a camera (e.g. KeypadRFID, DoorMaster). Make sure not to exceed
the overall length of the MxBus wiring of 50 m (55 yd).
3. Connect the peripheral devices
Connect the other wires/cables as required and by using the corresponding
cable plugs (inputs, outputs, RS232, MxBus).
4. Lock the cable in place
Insert one or two cable ties depending on the attached cables as shown.
Pull the cable ties tightly around the cables in order to provide strain relief.
5. Mount the cover
Mount the cover back onto the MX-232-IO-Box and affix it using the cover
screws (torque 0.4 Nm).
Resetting the MX-232-IO-Box
If the MX-232-IO-Box had been connected to a different camera before and not deactivated or reset before
detaching, the left LED (MxBus status) may blink red after establishing the MxBus connection. In this case, you
need to reset the connected and activated MX-232-IO-Box to
factory defaults
:
• Remove the box cover (three screws).
• Bridge the contact surfaces below the
Factory Reset
label (red circle in figure)
using a screw driver, for example (both LEDs are flashing red/blue with increasing
frequency).
• Only remove the bridge if both LEDs of the MX-232-IO-Box are flashing green
on/off 3 times to indicate that the process has finished successfully.
• Mount the cover back onto the box (torque 0.4 Nm).
• Set up the MX-232-IO-Box in the camera (see
«Initializing the MX-232-IO-Box»).

Notes
• The MOBOTIX MX-232-IO-Box is to be used only for providing signal inputs/outputs and an RS232 interface
(only when connecting to a camera using USB) for MOBOTIX cameras in IP65 environments.
• For MOBOTIX cameras with MxBus connector and software version MX-V4.1.4.11 or higher.
• Make sure that you adhere to all relevant laws, regulations and that you fulfill all certification requirements
for the intended use.
• Torque for all screws: 0.4 Nm.
• Press the white cable plug (eight-wire plug or cable plug 3 to 5 mm or 5 to 7 mm) into the casing in such a
way that the rims stick out equally on both sides.
• The max. baud rate of the RS232 cable depends on the cable length and on the cross-sectional area of the wires.
• The length of the entire MxBus wiring must not exceed 50 m/55 yd.
• Cross-sectional area of the MxBus wires: 0.6 to 0.8 mm (0.8 mm recommended to reduce line losses).
• Do not use jumper J2; it will be used for future extensions of the MX-232-IO-Box.
