FCC Statement - This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B dig it al

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. T hese limit s ar e designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not inst alled and used in accor dance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interferenc e t o r adio com munications. However, there is no guarantee that inter ference will not
occur in a particular installation. If t his equipment does cause harmful inter ference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interfer ence by one or m or e of the following measures: Reorient or r elocat e the receiving
antenna; Increase the separation between the equipm ent and r ec eiver; Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected; Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for help.

General Information

This manual will help you install and maintain these industrial Ethernet switches.

Note: This manual only covers the installation and wiring of the se switches. For

IGMP, VLANs, security, port mirroring and much more.

Unlike an Ethernet hub that broadcasts all messages out all ports, these industrial Ethernet

one or more fiber optic ports for making noise immune connections up to 120 km.

These general specifications apply to these industrial Ethernet switches. Refer to Section 7
Number of ports

2,3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 16 or 18 Ethernet ports

Note: This Equipment is Suitabl e for Use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D

or Non Hazardous Locations Only

Overview

Operation

Installation of these switches is very easy and they will begin to operate as soon as they are
powered up. For the unmanaged models (denoted by ES in their part number) there are no
user settings so they are truly plug and play. The managed models (denoted by MS in their
part number) will act as unmanaged switches until they are configured otherwise. Refer to
the managed switch software manual for configuration of advanced network functionality.

the managed models refer to the separate Software User Manuals for details on

configuring and using any of the management functions suc h as SNMP, RSTP,

switches wil l intelligently route Ethernet messages only out the appropriate port. The major
benefits of this are increased bandwidth and speed, reduction or elimination of message
collisions, and deterministic performance when tied with real-time systems.

These industrial Ethernet switches can support 10BaseT (10 Mbps), 100BaseT (100 Mbps)
and 1000BaseT (100 Mbps) on their RJ45 ports (depending on the model). Each of these
ports will independently auto-sense the speed/duplex, mdi/mdix-crossover and polarity
allowing you to use straight, crossed or even mis-wired cables. Some models also have

Important Notes about
Thermal Performance:

mounting for quickest

installation and optimal

utilization of your rail space.

The Slim Lines switches with metal cases use an
innovative technique to remove excess heat from

the product and its components. This technique

effectively utilizes the heavy-gauge all-aluminum

case as a large heat-sink. Therefore, you may

notice the case becoming warm during operation

(especially with large loads such as all ports
linked and active). This is normal operation. For
best performance it is recommended that a DIN

rail spacer (such as an end clamp) be used

between the switch and adjacent devices. This

will leave an air gap for best heat dissipation off

For best thermal performance when direct panel

mounting to a metal surface, you may use a

thermal compound or pad between the mounting

face and the mounting surface. This will reduce

any air gaps and optimize the transfer of heat

Section 4

Power and Output Wiring

These industrial Ethernet switches can be powered from the same DC source that is used

Overview

to power your other devices. A voltage in the range of 10 to 30 VDC needs to be applied
between the P1 (plus) terminal and the Minus terminal as shown in the diagrams on the
next page. The chassis screw terminal should be tied to panel or chassis ground. To
reduce down time resulting from power loss, these industrial Ethernet switches can
optionally be powered redundantly with a second power supply as shown in the diagrams.

The managed models also have an “OK” output that can be tied to a PLC input or other
device to indicate when there is a power loss. When ON, this output will source the same
voltage that is applied to the switches power terminals. See the wiring diagrams on the next
page.

Models with PoE accepts power in the range of 12 to 48 VDC and can source 48 VDC
power to four PoE devices. For PoE sourcing (PSE) operation, the power must be in the
range of 45 to 50 VDC. Otherwise, the switch will function properly as an industrial Ethernet
switch but will not source any PoE power. For PoE operation, make sure your 48 VDC
supply is rated for at least 16 Watts per PoE channel being sourced, plus some overhead
for the switch. It is recommended that a supply with 75 Watts or more of power be used.
PoE switchs support dual power inputs allowing you to connect a backup power source.
The backup power should have the same voltage as the primary power.

The PoE ports when sourcing power will put out 48 VDC* (see note below) over the signal
pair of the RJ45 connection:

o V+ on RX lines 1 and 2
o V- on TX lines 3 and 6
o Lines 4, 5, 7 and 8 are unused

* Note: When the supply voltage is 45 to 47 VDC then the power output for the PoE will be

the same as the supply voltage. For example, if the supply voltage is 45 VDC then the PoE
output will also be 45 VDC. If the supply voltage is 48 to 50 VDC then the PoE output will be
regulated at 48 VDC.

Screw Torque

WIRING
WARNINGS

When tightening the screws be careful to tighten to a max. torque of 5 in/lb (0.57 Nm).

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY WIRING TO THESE SWITCHES MAKE SURE …

• THE AREA IS CURRENTLY NONHAZARDOUS (ESPECIALLY WHEN
WORKING IN CLASS I, DIV 2 OR ZONE 2 HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS)

• TO TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE SWITCH

• TO UNPLUG THE SCREW TERMINAL BLOCK (This is especially important on

the units that have a metal case as shown below. Connecting or disconnecting
wires to the screw block when it is in place and the power is turned on can allow
the screwdriver to short the power to the case.)

To meet the requirements for UL you must do one of the following:

2. Use a Class 2 rated power supply to power the switch.

as PLCs, Ethernet I/O, industrial computers and much more. Three types of communication
ports may be found on these switches: RJ45 (copper) Ethernet ports, fiber optic Ethernet

standard RJ45 connectors. For best performance use shielded cable. Straight through or
crossover RJ45 cable can be used regardless of the device the switch is to be connected to
as all the ports are capable of auto-mdi/mdix-crossover detection.

The RJ45 Ethernet port connector bodies on these products are metallic and are connected
to the Chassis GND terminal. Therefore, shielded cables may be used to provide further
protection. To prevent ground loops, the cable shield should be tied to the metal connector
body at one end of the cable only. Electrical isolation is also provided on the Ethernet ports
for increased reliability.

ports. All 100 Mbps fiber ports are available with dual SC or ST style connectors. They are
also available with multimode, singlemode, long-haul (for connections up to 120+ km) or
special-application transceivers. Refer to the technical specifications for details.

All 1000 Mbps fiber ports are provided as mini-gbic SFP (small form pluggable). These
accept plug in fiber transceivers that typically have an LC style connector. They are
available with multimode, singlemode, long-haul (for connections up to 80+ km) or special­application transceivers. Refer to the technical specifications for details.

For each fiber port there is a transmit (TX) and receive (RX) signal. When making your
fiber optic connections, make sure that the transmit (TX) port of the switch connects to the
receive (RX) port of the other device, and the receive (RX) port of the switch connects to
the transmit (TX) port of the other device.

Use standard fiber optic wiring techniques (not covered by this manual) to make your
connections. The corresponding ACT/LNK LED will be ON solid or flashing when you have
made a proper connection.

*Use this special singlemode trans c ei ver with multimode fiber cable for a nominal maximum link dis tance of 2km. This transceiver offsets the
transmitted light (so no mode c ondit ioni ng pat c h c ord i s required) and is s pec i f ic ally fo r us e with multimode f i ber c able. I t is recommended that this
