Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures

Installation Precautions:

Follow these precautions when installing your switch.
Cautions
■ Make sure you use the power adapter supplied with the
switch to connect it to an AC power source.
■ When installing the switch, since the unit does not have
an On/Off power switch, an AC power outlet must be
located near the switch and should be easily accessible
in case the switch needs to be powered off.
Make sure the switch does not overload the power
■
circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply
circuits, add together the amperage ratings of all devices
installed on the same circuit as the switch and compare
the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The
maximum amperage ratings are usually printed on the
devices near the AC power connectors or power adapter
connectors.
Do not install the switch in an environment where the
■
operating ambient temperature might exceed 40 ° C
(104 ° F).
Make sure the air flow around the sides of the switch is
■
not restricted.
