Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires.
The correct power supply voltage is listed on the product
label. Check the voltage of your power source to make sure
that you are using the correct voltage. Do
NOT
use a
voltage greater than what is specified on the product label.
WARNING
Safety First!
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 points:
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
in 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 to all devices in the system
when necessary.
Grounding the Ethernet Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground 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.
