Installation Guidelines

1. 1 De-energize the control cabinet and verify the absence of voltage before beginning work.
2. 2 Mount the switch securely onto a standard 35mm DIN rail inside the enclosure, ensuring proper orientation for ventilation.
3. 3 Connect a low-impedance protective earth (PE) or functional ground conductor to the designated terminal on the switch chassis.
4. 4 Terminate the RJ45 and fiber optic SC network cables. Ensure fiber optic connectors are clean before insertion.
5. 5 Connect the primary and, if used, redundant power supply conductors to the power terminal block, observing correct polarity.
6. 6 Re-energize the system and verify the status of the power and diagnostic LEDs on the front panel of the switch.
