Wiring the Power Inputs
The 4-contact terminal block connector on the top panel of Industrial Ethernet Switch is used for two DC redundant power inputs. Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.
CAUTION
When performing any of the procedures like inserting the wires or tightening the wire-clamp screws, make sure the power is OFF to prevent from getting an electric shock.
- Insert positive and negative DC power wires into contacts 1 and 2 for POWER 1, or contacts 3 and 4 for POWER 2.
- Tighten the wire-clamp screws for preventing the wires from loosening.
NOTE
- The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range between 12 and 24 AWG.
- The DC power input range is 12V ~ 55V DC.
Grounding the Device
Users MUST complete grounding wired with the device; otherwise, a sudden lightning could cause fatal damage to the device. EMD (Lightning) DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
Installation
This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial Ethernet Switch’s components and guides you to installing it on the DIN rail and wall. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
NOTE
This following pictures show the user how to install the device, and the device is not IGS-500T-E.
DIN-rail Mounting Installation
Place the bracket on the back of the device and with the given 3 screws, tighten them. Slide the device with the bracket mounted through the DIN-rail to finish the installation.
Wall-mount Plate Mounting
Place the mounting plate on the back of the device, and tighten it with the given screws. Then put the device with the plate mounted on the wall, and screw them to finish the installation.
CAUTION
