WARNING! The correct connection of the protection ground (PGND) wire of the access controller is an essential safeguard against lightning strikes and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) interference. You must first correctly connect the PGND wire when installing the access controller. The power input end of the access controller is connected with a noise filter; its central ground is directly connected to the chassis, forming the chassis ground (also known as PGND).
WARNING! The ground wire of the access controller should be connected to the grounding system in the equipment room. The fire main and lightning rod of a building are not good grounding options. When a grounding strip is unavailable If earth is available nearby and the grounding body can be buried, hammer an angle steel or steel pipe longer than 0.5 m (1.64 ft) into the earth.

IMPORTANT: Provides clarifying information or specific instructions. NOTE: Provides additional information. TIP: Provides helpful hints and shortcuts.
A Installation of lightning arrester for network interfaces You can install a lightning arrester for each 10/100 Mbps electrical Ethernet interface supporting RJ-45 connectors. A lightning arrester for network interface is not supplied with the access controller. When an outdoor network cable is attached to the access controller, to prevent possible damages to the access controller due to lightning strike, serially connect the lightning arrester for the network interface before you plug the outdoor cable into the access controller.
to the arrester while OUT end of the cable is connected to the access controller. After the connection, check whether the LEDs of the interface modules are normal. NOTE: Technical parameters, installation and maintenance methods of an arrester have been provided in the arrester instructions.

lightning arrester for each of the network interfaces to guard the interfaces against possible damages.
B Installation of lightning arrester for AC power NOTE: A lightning arrester (lightning protection grounding strip) is not supplied with the access controller. If an outdoor AC power cable is directly led to the access controller, to prevent possible damages to the access controller due to lightning strike, serially connect the lightning arrester for AC power (lightning protection grounding strip) before you plug AC power cable into the access controller.
Page 41
Note the following: Make sure that the PE terminal of the arrester is well grounded before using the lightning arrester for power. Upon plugging the AC power cable connector of the access controller into the receptacle of the lightning arrester, if the green LED is on while the red LED does not alarm, it means that the lightning arrester of power is running and the function of lightning protection has taken effect.

The Ethernet optical interfaces of the WX5002V2 support LC connectors only. Figure 34 LC connector Before using an optical fiber to connect a network device, make sure that the optical fiber connector matches the optical module. Before connecting the fiber, make sure that the receiving-end optical power does not exceed the upper threshold of the receiving optical power.
When preparing Ethernet cables, follow the chromatogram provided in the table to arrange the wires. Otherwise, communication quality will be affected even if the devices at both ends are connected.

Interface numbering The WX5002V2 provides four fixed GE interfaces numbered GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, with the last part of the port numbers indicated on the front panel. Requirements on temperature and humidity To ensure the normal operation and service lifetime of the access controller, proper temperature and humidity should be maintained in the equipment room.
Physical active substance Concentration limit (particles/m Note: The dust particle diameter is ≥ 5 μm Besides the dust specifications, the equipment room of the access controller also needs to strictly meet the requirements on the concentration of salt, acid and sulfide. These harmful gases can accelerate the metallic corrosion and the aging process of some parts (see Table 14 Table 14...
Wear ESD-preventive gloves or an ESD-preventive wrist strap and uniform when handling the circuit board. Hold the interface module only by its edge when installing, observing or removing it. Do not touch the components on it. Place the removed interface module on an ESD-preventive workbench with the component-side facing upward or place it in an antistatic bag.
Electromagnetic environment requirements The operation of your access controller may be affected by external interferences, such as capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling, and the conducted interference of leads (power cords, signaling cables and output wires). To eliminate the interferences: ...
