Wiring Requirements

WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring the OnCell device.

Read and Follow These Guidelines

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
  NOTE Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
• You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring with similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
• It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when necessary.

ATTENTION
This product is intended to be supplied by an external power source (UL Listed/ IEC 60950-1/ IEC 62368-1), of which the output complies with ES1/SELV, the output rating is 12 to 48 VDC, 0.96A min., supports an ambient temperature of 70°C minimum for use with OnCell G4302 Series -T models, or an ambient temperature of 55°C minimum for use with OnCell G4302 Series non-T models.

Grounding the Moxa OnCell Series

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI) by routing the noise from the metal chassis to the connected ground. Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices. The minimum cross-sectional area of the grounding conductor should be equal to that of the input cable. The grounding screw (M4 type) is located near the power connector.

ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted on a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel. The potential difference between the two ground potentials must be zero. If the potential difference is NOT zero, the product could be permanently damaged.
