ATTENTION
In order to ensure reliable operations, please make sure the
operating temp. of the environment does not exceed the spec.
When mounting a SDS-3016 with other operating units in a
cabinet without forced ventilation, minimum spacing of 3cm on
both sides and above/below the switch is recommended.
Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa Industrial Smart Ethernet Switch. Calculate the
maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire.
Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current
allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the
maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious
damage to your equipment.
Be sure to read and follow these important guidelines:
•
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE
Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring
through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with
different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to
determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is
that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
•
You should separate input wiring from output wiring.
•
We advise that you label the wiring to all devices in the system.
Grounding the Industrial Smart Ethernet Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw (chassis ground) to the grounding surface prior to
connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted onto a well-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
