Mains Connections
The user must supply suitable power cables. He may then either hard-wire the power cables
to the building’s electrical
installation, providing an easily accessible power on/off switch close to the device, or install on the power cables a
grounding-type (earthed) mains plug that is suitable for the local power outlets, following the power plug manufac-
turer’s instru
ctions.
It is possible, but not required to use two different mains sources. However, it is important to notice that the earth
conductors of the two mains supplies will be short-circuited by connecting the two mains supplies to the same XES-
2T6. Consult a qualified electrician, if you have any doubts about the proper installation.
A blue
Neutrik powerCON NAC3FCA
cable mount connector must be used to supply power at the XES-2T6
’s
power
input socket.
Warning! For protection against dangerous electrical shocks, the device must be grounded (earthed). The
local AC power source must be supplied with both overload and ground-fault (earth fault) protection.
Important! Only attach or remove a Neutrik powerCON connector while it is connected to the mains in
case of an emergency, as doing so may cause arcing at the terminals that will damage the connectors.
Backup Power Supply
The device has two built-in PSUs. If both PSUs are connected to the mains, the primary PSU will supply the device while
the backup PSU stays in standby mode. Should the primary PSU fail, the backup PSU will immediately start to power
the device without an interruption.
Power Outlets
Warning! The current load of each of the AC mains power outlets of the XES-2T6 must not exceed 19.8
amperes.
• A power cable that meets the requirements specified
in the safety instructions section of this manual must be used
to connect the XES-2T6 to AC mains power and to connect other devices to the power outlets.
• A light
-grey Neutrik powerCON NAC3FCB cable-mount connector must be used to draw AC mains power from the
XES-2T6
’s power outlet
.
• No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, the current draw
n by all the devices that draw AC mains power from
one of the power outlets of an XES-2T6 must not exceed a total of 19.8 amperes. That is 19.8 amperes for the primary
PSU mains loop through output and another 19.8 amperes that may be drawn from the backup PSU mains loop
through output.
Network Connectors and Cables
All network connectors are Neutrik etherCON Cat 5e RJ45 connectors. These connectors may be used with a standard
RJ45 plug. For a better fixation, you may use a cable with a Neutrik etherCON plug. For Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T)
operation, Cat 5e (or better) cables are required. 100 Mbit/s (100BASE-TX) requires at least Cat 5 cables. For 10 Mbit/s
(10BASE-T) Cat 3 cables are sufficient. The maximum allowable cable length is 100 m (328 feet).
