L2 Managed Switch 3.2 Connect to Ground Connecting the device to ground is to quickly release the lightning over-voltage and over-current of the device, which is also a necessary measure to protect the body from electric shock. In different environments, the device may be grounded differently. The following will instruct you to connect the device to the ground in two ways, connecting to the grounding bar or connecting to the ground via the power cord.
L2 Managed Switch Note: The figure is to illustrate the application and principle. The power cord you get from ■ the package and the socket in your situation will comply with the regulation in your country, so they may differ from the figure above. If you intend to connect the device to the ground via the PE (Protecting Earth) cable ■...
L2 Managed Switch 3.4 Use Lightning Arrester Power lightning arrester and signal lightning arrester are used for lighting protection. Power lightning arrester is used for limiting the voltage surge due to a lightning. If an outdoor AC power cord should be directly connected to the device, please use a power lightning arrester.
