Wiring Requirements

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or

wiring your Moxa

Industrial Media Converter.

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 rating, 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

in 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.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.

• It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system

when necessary.

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects

of noise due to electromagnetic interference

(EMI). Run the ground connection from the right

connector of the 3-

contact terminal block to

the grounding surface prior to connec

ting

devices.
