The 32-port units will consume over 30 watts of power typically. When connecting the
Ethernet cabling, there is no need to power down the unit. Individual segments can be
connected or disconnected without concern for AC power-related problems or damage to
the unit.
Power supply options are available to suit the 6K32F Series Switches to special
high-availability communications and/or heavy industrial-grade applications, including:
* -48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC with single DC input,
* -48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC with dual-source DC input,
See the Appendices of this manual for more details. Use an RFQ for other variations.
3.4.1 Alarm Contacts for monitoring internal power, and Software Traps
The Alarm Contacts feature, optional on Magnum 6K32F Series, provides
two Form C Normally Closed (NC) contacts to which the user can attach two sets of
status monitoring wires at the green terminal block. When this option is present, the
terminal block for Alarm Contacts is part of the Power Input panel in the Magnum
6K32F case. The AC or DC power input connection is in the same panel. A manual On-
Off Switch for power to the unit is not available on 6K32F Series units with the Alarm
Contacts option, as these two features occupy the same space in the case.
The first NC Alarm Contact (top position) is a “Software Alarm”, operated
by user settings in the MNS-6K software. The user can disable the Software Alarm
feature with a software configuration command if desired. When the Software Alarm is
enabled, the Form C Normally Closed (NC) contact is held close during normal software
operation. A user-defined software malfunction, such as an SNMP Trap, a Software
Security violation or an S-Ring Fault, causes the contact to open and thus trigger an
alarm in the user’s monitoring system
The second (bottom position) NC Alarm Contact is held close when there is
power on the main board inside of the 6K32F. This provides a “Hardware Alarm”
because the NC contacts will open when internal power is lost, either from an external
power down condition or by the failure of the power supply inside of the Magnum
6K32F Series Switch. Useful info. about Alarm contacts:
1. There are four terminal blocks (1,2,3,4)provided next to the AC/DC power supply
2. The top two pins (1,2) are software operated
3. The bottom two pins (3,4) are hardware operated
4. By default it is NC (normally closed)
5. The software operation needs to be enabled and set to get the Alarm traps. For detailed
information about the Software Alarm and software control of SNMP alarm traps, please
reference the Magnum MNS-6K Software User Manual. (Chapter 19).
