to 1m.

8

Protected against long periods of immersion under
pressure.

The classification of degrees of protection provided by the enclosures is defined by IEC 60529. Each rating is
defined by specific tests.

The IP number is comprised of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against solid objects and the
second against fluids. The higher the number, the better the device is protected against contact with moving
parts and the harmful entry of various forms of moisture.

The 105M12 and 108M12 Industrial Ethernet Switches are fully protected against dust and will remain sealed
when immersed in water to a depth of 1 meter for 1 hour when all the ports are properly mated or sealed.

These IP67 caps seal off the unused ports protecting them from dirt, water, oil or any other
contaminants which might be present in the close proximity of the switch.

APPLYING POWER

The M12 A coded power connector is keyed, where the mating connection from the power supply can
be made only when the male and female ends are lined up properly.
When the power is first connected all LED’s will flash ON Momentarily.
Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN).

Note: Either V1 or V2 can be connected to power for minimal operation. For redundant power
operation, V1 and V2 must be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. The power cord should be
limited to less than 10 meters in order to ensure optimum performance.

Recommended 24V DC Power Supplies, similar to:

100VAC/240VAC:

N-TRON 105M12 AND 108M12 GROUNDING TECHNIQUES

Drain wire with lug connecting switch chassis to known grounding point.

CONNECTING THE UNIT

For 10Base-T ports, plug a Category 3 (or greater) twisted pair cable into the M12 connector. For
100Base-T ports, plug a Category 5 (or greater) twisted pair cable into the M12 connector. Connect the
other end to the far end station. Verify that the LNK LED’s are ON once the connection has been
completed. To connect any other port to another Switch or Repeater, use a standard Cat5 straight
through or crossover cable.

Warning: Creating a port to port connection on the same switch (i.e. loop) is an illegal operation and
will create a broadcast storm which will crash the network!

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Make sure the (Power LED) is ON.

2. Verify that Link LED’s are ON or BLINKING for connected ports.

3. Verify cabling used between stations.

4. Verify that cabling is Category 5 (or greater) for 100Mbit Operation.
