Installation Guide Preparation Before Installation supplies, the leakage current of each power supply is equal to or less than 1.5 mA, and the total leakage current of the system is 30 mA. A leakage protector with 30 mA rated action current supports less than ten power supplies (that is, action current of the leakage protector/2/maximum leakage current of each power supply = 30/2/1.5 = 10).
The switch has a built-in lithium battery to keep the real-time clock running when external power source is unavailable. To replace the lithium battery, please contact Ruijie Networks Customer Service Technical Support to have it replaced with a lithium battery of the same specifications.
