Overview
The IP67 Industrial Ethernet Switch can be powered from the same DC source that is used to power your I/O devices. 10
to 30 VDC needs to be applied to the mating DC power connector (supplied with the switch). The integrated screw
terminals can accept up to 16 AWG wire. Refer to the wiring diagrams below.

Connector Assembly
The assembly of the field installable power connector (EB-CC-PS-F1) requires no special tools, just a standard small
slotted screwdriver. The power cable should be between 6 and 8 mm in diameter.
Simply install the components in the order shown below. First, strip off 1/4” of the plastic sheathing on each conductor
of your power cable. Tightly twist stranded cable so there are no loose strands. Second, slide component 1, then 2, then
3 over your power cable in the orientation shown below. Keep these first 3 components loose. Do not tighten them yet.
Third, using the integrated screw terminals, attach component 4 to the appropriate conductors of your power cable.
Refer to the wiring diagram above. Fourth, screw component 3 to component 4. Finally, slide component 2 into
component 3 and then screw component 1 to component 3. You now have a watertight IP67 power connector.

Note:
The strain relief / seal section should be screwed in 2 turns (after initial thread
engagement) on 6.8 mm diameter wire. Red Lion suggests 3 turns if 6 mm wire is used and
no more than 2 turns if 8 mm wire is used to ensure a proper waterproof seal.
