The INS-801/INS-801W Industrial Series Switch is a hardened,
5-port Ethernet Switch with redundant DC power inputs –
designed to provide a reliable and economical solution for your
industrial Ethernet environment. With its dry contact smart
alarm, the INS-801/801W can initiate a physical alarm (audible
and/or visible) in the event of a malfunction. The INS-801
operates in a wide temperature range, from -10 to 70°C (from -
40°C in the case of the 801W), and is designed to handle
higher than normal degrees of vibration and shock, making it
suitable for harsh industrial environments.
This manual discusses how to install the INS-801 Industrial Fast
Ethernet Switch.
The
