  • Page 7: Wiring Requirements

    WARNING Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your AWK-3131A. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes that dictate the maximum current allowed for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

  • Page 8: Grounding The Awk-3131A

    DO NOT use a PoE Injector. Instead, use an IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at compliant PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) for PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices. Grounding the AWK-3131A Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
