Wall Mounting STEP 1: Mounting the TN-4500A to a wall requires 4 screws. Use the ToughNet switch as a guide to mark the correct positions of the 4 screws. STEP 2: Use the 4 screws in the wall-mounting kit. If you would like to use your own screws, make sure the screw head is between 6.0 mm and 7.0 mm in diameter and...
Wiring Requirements WARNING 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 you are using the correct voltage. Do NOT use a voltage greater than what is specified on the product label.
Connecting the Power Supplies The ToughNet TN-4500A Series switches support dual power inputs— power input 1 and power input 2. The M23 6-pin male connector on the TN-4500A Series switches' front panel is used for connecting dual power inputs.
Pinouts for the power input port on the TN-4500A Series (M23) Description Usage Connect “PWR1 Live / DC +” to the positive (+) PWR1 / DC + terminal when using a DC power source. Connect “PWR1 Neutral / DC -” to the negative PWR1 / DC - (-) terminal when using a DC power source.
Pinouts for the relay output port on the TN-4500A Series N.C.: Not connected FAULT: The two sets of relay contacts of the M12 A-coded 5-pin male connector are used to detect user-configured events. The two wires attached to the fault contacts form an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered.
