Installation Guidelines
-
De-energize System: Ensure all power to the installation area and connected devices is de-energized before beginning installation.
-
Mounting: Install the switch within a control cabinet, ensuring adequate ventilation and clearance for cable routing and heat dissipation.
-
Power Connection: Connect the redundant 24 V AC/DC power supply to the designated terminals, observing correct polarity. Ensure the power source meets the specified voltage requirements.
-
Ethernet Connections: Connect industrial devices to the RJ45 ports using appropriate Ethernet cables. For longer distances or specific media requirements, utilize the BFOC multimode fiber optic ports.
-
Cable Routing: Route all cables to minimize stress on connectors and to avoid interference with other electrical components. Use proper cable management techniques.
-
Grounding: Ensure proper grounding of the control cabinet and the switch itself, if applicable, to protect against electrical noise and surges.
-
Verification: After installation, re-energize the system and observe the LED indicators on the switch to confirm proper operation and network link status.
