DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back
panel of the EDS-G509 when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the EDS-G509, make sure the stiff
metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the following figures.
STEP 1—Insert the top of the
DIN-Rail into the slot just below the
stiff metal spring.
STEP 2—The DIN-Rail attachment
unit will snap into place as shown in
the following illustration.

To remove the EDS-G509 from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2
above.
Wall Mounting (Optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount Moxa EDS-G509
on the wall, as shown in the following illustrations:
STEP 1—Remove the
aluminum DIN-Rail
attachment plate from the rear
panel of the EDS-G509, and
then attach the wall mount
plates with M3 screws, as
shown in the figure at the
right.
Ö
STEP 2—Mounting the EDS-G509 on the wall requires 4
screws. Use the EDS-G509, with wall mount plates attached, as a
guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws. The heads of
the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts
should be less than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure on
at right.
6.0 mm
3.5 mm
NOTE
Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw through
one of the keyhole-shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting Plates.

Do not screw the screws in all the
way—leave about 2 mm to allow
room for sliding the wall mount
panel between the wall and the
screws.
STEP 3—Once the screws are fixed
to the wall, insert the four screw
heads through the wide parts of the
keyhole-shaped apertures, and then
slide the EDS-G509 downwards, as
indicated in the figure at the right.
Tighten the four screws for more
stability.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been
switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. The
devices may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on
the type plate. The devices are designed for operation with a
Safety Extra-Low Voltage. Thus, they may only be connected to
the supply voltage connections and to the signal contact with the
Safety Extra-Low Voltages (SELV) in compliance with IEC950/
EN60950-1/ VDE0805.
ATTENTION
This unit is a built-in type. When the unit is installed in another
piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must
comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC 60950-1/EN60950-1
(or similar regulation).
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa EtherDevice Switch.
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
