• Install the DGS-1026MP in a cool and dry
place. Refer to the technical specifications in
the user manual for the acceptable operating
temperature and humidity ranges.
• Install the switch in a site free from strong
electromagnetic sources, vibration, dust, and
direct sunlight.
• Leave at least 10 cm of space at the left and right-
hand side of the switch for ventilation.
• Visually inspect the power connector and make

Grounding the Switch

This section will provide step-by-step instructions
on how to connect the switch to ground. This step
must be completed before powering on the switch.
Required tools and equipment for grounding
• Grounding screw (included) and one M4x6
(metric) pan-head screw (not included).
• Grounding cable (not included). The grounding
cable should be sized according to local and
national installation requirements. Depending
on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG
copper conductor is required for installation.
Commercially available 6 AWG wire is
recommended. The length of the cable depends
on the proximity of the switch to proper
grounding facilities.
• A screwdriver (not included).
