CAUTION: This equipment is designed to permit the

connection of the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit
to the earthing conductor at the equipment.
If this connection is made, all of the following conditions must
be met:

 This equipment shall be connected to directly to the DC supply

system earthing electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from
an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system
earthing electrode conductor is connected.

 This equipment shall be located in the same immediate area

(such as, adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment that has a
connection between the earthed conductor of the same DC
supply circuit and the earthing conductor, and also the point of
earthing of the DC system. The DC system shall not be earthed
elsewhere.

 The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises

as the equipment.

 Switching or disconnecting devices shall not be in the earthed

circuit conductor between the DC source and the point of
connection of the earthing electrode conductor.

Installation

This chapter gives step-by-step instructions about how to
install the switch:

Selecting a Site for the Switch

As with any electric device, you should place the switch
where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures,
humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site
you select should meet the following requirements:

 The ambient temperature should be between -40 to 75

degrees Celsius.

 The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent,

non-condensing.

 Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the

electromagnetic field (RFC) standards.

 Make sure that the switch receives adequate ventilation. Do

not block the ventilation holes on each side of the switch

 The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the switch.

13

EX42905/EX42914 series www.etherwan.com

DIN Rail Mounting

Installation: Place the switch on the DIN rail from above using
the slot. Push the front of the switch toward the mounting
surface until it audibly snaps into place.

Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the switch
from the DIN rail.
