environment for installing devices. PoE technology lets you eliminate the
need for using power outlets to deploy Ethernet-enabled devices—such as a
wireless access point (AP) or an IP camera—on a ceiling or outdoors. The
devices can be placed up to 328 feet (100 m) from a PSE.
Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless the power supply has
been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. The
devices may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on
the type plate.
The devices are designed for operation with a Safety Extra-Low
Voltage. Thus, they may only be connected to the supply voltage
connections and to the signal contact with the Safety Extra-Low
Voltages (SELV) in compliance with IEC950/ EN60950/
VDE0805.
WARNING
The power for this product is intended to be supplied by a Listed
Power Unit, with output marked LPS, and rated to deliver 48
VDC at a maximum of 300 mA.
WARNING
This unit is a built-in type. When the unit is installed in another
piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must
comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC 60950/EN60950 (or
similar regulation).
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your MOXA EtherDevice 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.
You should also pay attention to the following items:
y
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.
y
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in
the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal
characteristics should be routed separately.
y
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.
y
Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
y
It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when
necessary.
