Power Supply Installation
2.7.1
Overview
Warning! Power down and disconnect the power cord before servicing or wiring
the switch.
Caution! Do not disconnect modules or cabling unless the power is first switched
off.
The device only supports the voltage outlined in the type plate. Do not
use any other power components except those specifically designated
for the switch device.
Caution! Disconnect the power cord before installation or cable wiring.
The switches can be powered by using the same DC source used to power other
devices. A DC voltage range of 12 to 48 VDC must be applied between the V1+ ter-
minal and the V1- terminal (PW1), see the following illustrations. A Class 2 power
supply is required to maintain a UL62368 panel listing. The chassis ground screw ter-
minal should be tied to the panel or chassis ground. A redundant power configuration
is supported through a secondary power supply unit to reduce network down time as
a result of power loss.
Dual power inputs are supported and allow you to connect a backup power source.
