Wiring requirements – Moxa Technologies EDS-205 User Manual
Page 5

To remove Moxa EDS-205 from the 
DIN-Rail, insert a flat-blade screw 
driver horizontally into the DIN-Rail 
kit under the EDS-205, and then pull 
it upwards and release EDS towards 
you away from the DIN-Rail. 
Wiring Requirements
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing 
and/or wiring your Moxa EtherDevice Switch. 
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power 
wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes 
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire 
size. 
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the 
wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your 
equipment.

You should also pay attention to the following points:
y
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. 
y
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. 
y
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 that 
shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together. 
y
Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
y
It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when 
necessary.
