Introduction
Industrial environments are usually more demanding than office environments.
Harsh temperature conditions, vibration, dust, etc. all put higher demands on the
quality and reliability of your networking equipment. To survive harsh industrial
environments, Alloy provides you with the RNS5/8 Series Industrial 5-port/8-port
10/100Mbps Ethernet Switches. The RNS5/8 Industrial switch is a cost-effective
solution ideal for your industrial applications in harsh environments. The RNS5/8
not only gives you high speed data transmission over an Ethernet network, but
also provides redundant power inputs and reverse polarity protection. In addition,
the RNS5/8 is manufactured in an IP30 aluminum case, and has passed several
safety certifications, ensuring customers a cost-effective, safe, and reliable
industrial device.

Wiring the DC Power Inputs
Follow the steps below to wire RNS5/8 dual DC power inputs.
[Note] The suitable electric wire ranges from 12 to 24 AWG.
V- V+ V- V+
1. Insert the positive and negative wires into the V+ and Vcontacts respectively of the terminal block connector
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the DC wires
[Note] The additional power jack is designed for office use.
