Wiring Requirements

SAFETY FIRST!

•

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

wiring your Moxa VPort 36-2L.

•

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:

• 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.

• 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.
