Wiring Requirements

SAFETY FIRST

•

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa VPort 36-1MP.

•

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 maximu

m ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your

equipment.

You should also pay attention to the following:

• 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.

• We strongly advise labeling the wiring to all devices in the system.
