Mounting
The QD2010a is designed to be hung on a wall or set
on a table or shelf. When mounting directly to a wall,
use the included mounting bracket. Select a sturdy
wall made of masonry, wood, or metal. If mounting
on dry wall, it is recommended that you first attach a
wood or metal back plate to the wall and then mount
the QD2010a. Always mount the unit with the main
label facing in an upright orientation. When selecting
a location to mount the QD2010a, be sure to allow
space for cable connections. Place the QD2010a away
from excessive dust, heat sources, moisture, or direct
sunlight. The ideal environment is a server room. The
temperature of the room can not exceed 77ºF (25ºC),
with good ventilation mandatory.
Connections
To power the QD2010a, attach the power cord to the
back of the unit and insert the power plug into a 120
VAC socket. Upon connection the unit will power up
automatically. If it does not, simply press the power
button. Ensure that you have clean power with minimal
service interruptions, if you do not or you are unsure,
connect to a UPS (PK3100).
To connect the QD2010a to a LAN / Ethernet, connect
an Ethernet cable (not included) to the RJ-45 connection
on the side of the unit. Connect the other end to the
LAN network hub.

RS485 Network Wiring and Setup
All controls connected to the network will need to be
programmed with the same communication baud rate
as well as a unique communication address from 0 to
255, excluding 248. On units with displays, this can
either be done from the face of the controller using the
keypad and display or by individually direct connecting
controllers to the QD2010a. On units without displays,
controller addressing is done by direct connect to
QD2010a. (see Control Addressing section).
To connect your controllers to the QD2010a, you will
need to create an "RS485" network by connecting all
of the controllers "A" terminals together, "B" terminals
together and "REF" terminals together, using 18 or
20 AWG, 120 ohm impedance, twisted, shielded 3
conductor (triple) wire. This "RS485" network connects
to a QD1010-USB which plugs into the USB port on the
QD2010a.
