Installation Guidelines

1. 1 De-energize System: Before installation, completely disconnect and lock out all power sources to the control cabinet or panel where the switch will be installed. Verify the absence of voltage.
2. 2 Mount Device: Securely mount the SCALANCE switch onto a standard 35mm DIN rail within the enclosure. Ensure adequate clearance for ventilation and cable routing.
3. 3 Connect Grounding: Connect the functional earth (FE) terminal on the switch to the cabinet's equipotential bonding system using a low-impedance conductor to ensure proper grounding.
4. 4 Terminate Network Cables: Connect the RJ45 and SC fiber optic network cables to the corresponding ports. Ensure fiber optic connectors are clean before insertion and respect the minimum bend radius for all cables.
5. 5 Connect Power Supply: Connect the specified DC power supply to the power input terminals, observing correct polarity. Use appropriate wire gauges for the load and distance.
6. 6 System Energization and Verification: After confirming all connections are secure, remove LOTO devices and re-apply power to the system. Verify the switch powers on and check the status LEDs for normal operation and link activity.
