Please Read and Follow These 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.
•
Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
•
It is strongly advised that you label wiring for all devices in the system
when necessary.
Grounding the ToughNet Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
grounding screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface such as a metal panel.
Connecting the Power Supplies
The ToughNet TN-5816A/5818A series switches support two sets of
power supplies—power input 1 and power input 2. The M23 6-pin male
connector on the TN-5816A/5818A’s front panel is used for the dual
power inputs.
