Wiring Requirements

You should heed the following common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation
of any electronic device:
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.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire
conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed
separately.
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.
Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your NE-4000T-ST.
Wiring Caution!
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.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling NE-4000T-ST. When plugged in, NE-4000T-ST's internal
components generate heat, and consequently the board may feel hot to the touch.

Plugging NE-4000T into NE-4000T-ST

Before you connect NE-4000T-ST to the power supply, network, and serial device, you first need
to plug the NE-4000T module into the NE-4000T-ST board. Both the module and board are
clearly marked with white triangles that indicate how to position NE-4000T before plugging it in.
In the center of NE-4000T-ST, there is a square with one white inverted triangle (shown as black
in the figure) on one of its sides, and 2 rows of female sockets on the other two sides. The
NE-4000T board also has a white inverted triangle (shown as black in the figure) on one of its
sides. When plugging your NE-4000T into the NE-4000T-ST board, make sure these 2 white
inverted triangles are facing the same direction, as shown in the figure.
