2.4 BL2500 CONNECTIONS
2.4.1 Connect a Power Supply
1. Connect the AC adapter to header J2 on the BL2500 as shown in Figure 1. Match the friction lock tab
on the friction-lock connector to the back of header J2 on the BL2500 as shown. The friction-lock
connector will only fit one way. Plug in the AC adapter.
Application Kits sold outside North America or Australia include a friction-lock connector that can be
connected to header J2 on the BL2500. Connect the leads from your power supply to the friction-lock
connector to preserve the polarity indicated in the figure. The power supply should deliver 8 – 40 VDC
at 500 mA.

2. Plug the AC Adapter. DS1 (yellow) and DS2 (red) LEDs indicate the Firmware Kernel status after the
board has been powered up. If after 10 seconds DS2 (red) is turned off and DS1 (yellow) starts
blinking, the Firmware Kernel is licensed and active.
If DS2 (red) remains turned on during more than 10 seconds, it indicates that Kernel requires
licensing. If DS1 and DS2 are off after powered-up, it indicates that the board has no EMBEDDED
PLC Firmware Kernel loaded. In both cases, contact your local distributor.
2.4.2 Connect an Ethernet Cable
The BL2500 that comes in the
EMBEDDED
PLC Application Kit has the Firmware Kernel loaded, licensed
and configured. The default factory configuration is:
