  • Page 15: Thermal Considerations

    Thermal Considerations Overview The EL228 switches are designed to operate from -40˚ to +85˚C when they are installed properly. The switch is cooled via conduction and radiation. There are no fans. Instead there are various heat-sinks inside the switch to conduct the heat from the components to the heavy-gauge aluminum case. The heat is then dissipated from the case via radiation to the surrounding air.
  • Page 16: Power Wiring

    The EL228 features Universal Mounting (Patent Pending) that allows the power to be connected to either the front or the back of the switch. The EL228 has power input headers on both sides, and is supplied with one power plug (typically pre-installed on the port side) and one power cover (installed Universal on the opposite side).
