Installation Guidelines

1. De-energization: Ensure all power to the installation area is de-energized and locked out before commencing any work.
2. Mounting: Mount the SCALANCE XB213-3 switch onto a standard DIN rail. Ensure secure latching to prevent movement due to vibration.
3. Power Connection: Connect the power supply cables to the designated terminals. The switch supports redundant power supply; connect both primary and secondary feeds if a redundant configuration is required. Observe correct polarity.
4. Network Connections:
   • Connect 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet cables to the copper ports for local device connectivity.
   • Connect multimode fiber optic (MM FO) ST cables to the fiber ports for longer distance or noise-immune connections. Ensure proper fiber termination and cleanliness.
5. Console Connection: If local configuration or diagnostics are required, connect a console cable to the dedicated console port.
6. Grounding: Ensure proper grounding of the switch and the DIN rail system to maintain signal integrity and safety.
7. Environmental Considerations: Verify the operating environment is within the specified temperature range of 0 degC to +60 degC. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
