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.

You should also pay attention to the following points:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power

wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are

perpendicular at the intersection point

NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring

through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with

different signal characteristics should be routed separately

• You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to

determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is

that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be

bundled together

• Separate input wiring and output wiring

• We advise that you label wiring to all devices in the system when

necessary.

Grounding the Moxa EDS-518A

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to

electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the

ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
