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.
Grounding MOXA EtherDevice Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects
of noise due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Run the ground connection from the right
most of 3-contact terminal block to the
grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface such as a metal panel.
