Placement
When used in an equipment rack, the Flowire Converter can be placed at any accessible location.
|
When installing more than one Flowire network in the same equipment rack, precautions must be taken to reduce crosstalk between the networks. |
Mounting
The Flowire Converter is a DIN-rail mounted device, and hence requires a DIN rail. The DIN rail shall be mounted securely to the equipment rack, and properly stabilized. The DIN clips on the Flowire Converter can be placed on either the side or the bottom, thus giving different mounting options.
Grounding
It is always good practice to ground the cabinet of equipment installed in racks. This ensures safety and good EMC. The grounding connection of the Flowire Converter should be connected to the equipment rack’s ground strip using a ground wire of at least 0.75 mm² (AWG 19).
Power Supply
The Flowire Converter can operate over a wide range of voltages. The voltage selected depends on the type of equipment connected to the Flowire network:
- 24 Volts DC: When the Flowire Converter is used with explosion proof devices, i.e. TFIX intercoms and Exigo Ex Access panels, the Flowire shall be powered by a 24VDC power supply. Recommended power supply is "Flowire Ex 120" (item: 299 0102 120).
- 48 Volts DC: When the Flowire Converter is used with other Flowirte unit(s), the Flowire Converter shall be powered by a 48VDC power supply. Recommended power supply is "Flowire XP 120" (item: 299 0101 120) or "Flowire XP 240" (item: 299 0101 240).
|
Connect the power supply to any one of the two Flowire/power ports of the Flowire Converter using wires with a thickness of at least 1.5 mm² (AWG 15) and a length of at least 1 m |
Use of Shielded Cable
When using shielded cable (for improved EMC when used in high-EMI areas) the shield should be attached to the chassis of the Flowire unit and the central rack.
Cabling in Ex Areas
The TFIX intercoms and Exigo Ex Access panels are connected to the FCDC-2 at the central location using Ex certified 2-wire shielded cable. Flowire is used to extend the Ethernet connection and support power distribution on the 2-wire cabling infrastructure.
Factory reset
Pressing and holding the Password Reset Button for more than 15 seconds will reset following factory defaults:
- Reset the NMK password to its default HomePlugAV0123
- Enable DHCP. Fall back static IP address in case no automatic IP address is assigned: 169.254.1.10
- IGMP snooping querier will be turned on
