Wiring Requirements; Grounding The Ethernet Switch - Weidmuller IE-SW-BL05 Series Hardware Installation Manual

Wiring Requirements

WARNING
Safety First!
Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires. The
correct power supply voltage is listed on the product label. Check
the voltage of your power source to make sure that you are using
the correct voltage. Do
specified on the product label.
These devices must be supplied by a SELV source as defined in the
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC.
WARNING
Safety First!
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.
You should also pay attention to the following points:

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 communications wiring and power wiring in the
same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal
characteristics should be routed separately.

You can 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 separated.

It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when
necessary.

Grounding the Ethernet Switch

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.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface such as a metal panel.
NOT
use a voltage greater than what is
