- Wall-mount the unit if placement on a level surface is not available, or desired.
Setup Tools
Depending on the placement and cabling of the enclosure, you may need the following tools:
- Small flat-blade screwdriver
- Small Phillips screwdriver
Setup Procedure
After locating, setting up, grounding, and cabling the enclosure:
1. Apply power to the unit.
The amber-colored LED on the rear panel should be lit.
2. Monitor COM2 using a terminal emulator to verify that the enclosure is operating properly.
Disconnecting AC Power

- DIO/ADC/COM4: COM4 for the ENC550 can be connected internally to one of three functions.
- COM4 RS-232
- Analog to Digital Converter inputs
- Digital I/O points
The DIO is a standard feature of all Technologic Systems SBCs. By default the 25-pin connector is plugged into DIO1. If the ADC or COM4 options are purchased, the 25-pin connector is plugged into the purchased option. Only one of the headers on the TS-ENC550 power supply board may be connected at one time. Plugging more than one of the headers in may damage the circuitry.
- 12-38VDC: The three-pin connector accepts 12-38 VDC of external power to supply power to the board.
- Power Indicator Light: The amber-colored LED indicator on the rear panel, shown highlighted above in red, is the power LED. It is lit whenever power is applied to the unit.
- Chassis Grounding Lug: The lug labeled with the chassis ground symbol is used to
ground the chassis (optional).
| Note: | Connect this to earth ground during installation. |
