Page 12: Dimensions
The device must be installed in indoor environments or protected cubicles. The location must be protected against water, high temperatures and shocks. Please refer to supported environmental conditions in §1. The device can be mounted on a standard DIN rail (EN50022) using the back-side’s clip. Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual... -
Page 13: Mounting Procedure
WARNING: to avoid any risk of electrical shock, the modem shall be disconnected to any power source during mounting procedure. Place the device over the DIN rail with the upper lip of the clip laying on the rail. Push the modem until the clip is locked Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual... -
Page 14: Removal Procedure
WARNING: to avoid any risk of electrical shock, the modem shall be disconnected to any power source during removal procedure. Pull the latch down to release the modem from the rail Flip the bottom side of the modem and pull it away from the DIN rail Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual... -
Page 15: Interfaces
The device shall be connected to an IEC standard appliance inlet protected by a 30 mA differential circuit breaker. The IEC standard plug for AC supply is located on the bottom side of the modem. Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual... -
Page 16: Dc Power Supply
The device can be powered using a DC source in the voltage range specified in §1. The two pins connector is located on the bottom side of the modem It is recommended to secure the DC supply by screwing the connector flanges Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual... -
Page 17: Bpl Signal Interface
Warning: positions 1 and 2 have been inverted on earlier production batches (those without the danger sign on BPL port). In this document, please refer to the picture above and consider position 1 as front position and position 2 as rear. Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual... -
Page 18: Splitter / Combiner
Using simultaneously BPL 1 & 2 can result in higher impedance mismatch between the modem and the coupling systems. When impedances shown by coupling systems at BPL 1 & 2 are unbalanced, the signal transmission is also unbalanced. Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual... -
Page 19: Bpl Ports
BPL signal is routed to PIN ‘+’ and ‘-‘ of the front side connectors. When using a shielded twisted pair, connect the shield to GND. It is recommanded to secure connector’s position using its screw flanges. Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual... -
Page 20: Ethernet Ports
4 Ethernet ports are available on the front panel. All ports are connected to the same Ethernet bridge. Every RJ45 support auto-sensing and auto-negotiation feature for the following modes: 10 Mb Half Duplex 10 Mb Full Duplex 100 Mb Half Duplex 100 Mb Full Duplex Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual... -
Page 21: Serial Port
A serial port is located on the top panel. Depending on product code, a device may support RS232 or RS485 protocol. The corresponding PINOUT for each case is given in the following table: RS-232 RS-485 3.3V Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual... -
Page 22: Connection To Mv Couplers
6. Connection to MV Couplers In a usual installation, one coupler is attached to the e-terrapowercom BPL modem, using the proper connector and a shielded twisted pair. The coupler can be capacitive or inductive (please refer to the Coupler’s manual) The maximum recommended length for the twisted pair is 10 meters. - Page 23 For single coupling, use any of the the BPL ports and set the splitter switch to position 1. For double coupling, use both connectors and set splitter switch to position 2. Proprietary – See Copyright Page e-terrapowercom v2 Installation Manual...
