Step 2: Connect the Power Supply

ICI200A: The non-isolated Industrial Grade 4-Port USB Hub (ICI200A) can operate without an external power supply. When the hub is running on USB power,

it provides a maximum of 100 mA to each of the downstream ports.

ICI202A: Unike the non-isolated hub, the isolated Industrial Grade 4-Port USB Hub (ICI202A) will not operate without an external power supply. You can use the detachable terminal block input or the locking barrel jack. The terminal block is polarity protected.

When powered, the ICI200A and ICI202A will provide 500 mA to each downstream port. They require 10 to 30 VDC of external power and will consume a maximum of 16 W.

NOTE: The ICI202A adds 4-kV isolation.

Step 3: Grounding

We recommend that you ground the chassis. Connect a grounding wire from the green ground lug to a good source of earth ground.

Step 4: LED Status

Figure 6 shows the LEDs on the ICI200A and ICI202A. Table 1 describes their functions.
