Installation Guidelines

CRITICAL WARNING: Disconnect and lock out all power sources to the control panel before installation or maintenance. Failure to de-energize equipment can result in severe electrical shock, injury, or death.
  1. 1 Securely mount the switch onto a standard 35mm DIN rail inside a suitable enclosure, ensuring adequate clearance for ventilation and cable access.
  2. 2 Connect the primary and, if used, redundant DC power supplies to the designated terminals. Verify correct polarity before energizing the unit.
  3. 3 Establish a low-impedance connection from the switch's functional earth terminal to the enclosure's main ground point using a short, appropriately sized conductor.
  4. 4 Connect shielded RJ45 Ethernet cables to the ports. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cable shields are properly terminated at one end to prevent ground loops.
  5. 5 Wire the error signaling contact to the appropriate monitoring system or PLC input as required for system diagnostics and fault alarming.
