CHAPTE R 3: INSTALL ATION
3.1 PREPARING THE INSTALLATION SITE
Before you install the device, be sure your operating environment meets the operating environment requirements listed below.
Power source:
Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location. Power specifications for the Hardened Unmanaged
Switch are shown in Chapter 1, Specifications.
Environment:
Install the Hardened Unmanaged Switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between -14 and +140º F (-10 and +60° C).
The installation location should have a maximum relative humidity of 95%, non-condensing.
Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing the top and side panels of the Hardened Unmanaged Switch. Keep at least 2 inches
(5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling.
3.2 INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 1: Install the unit on the DIN rail. Place the switch on the DIN rail from above using the slot. Push the front of the switch
toward the mounting surface until it audibly snaps into place.

STEP 5: Grounding the Unit
CAUTION: This equipment is designed to permit the connection of the grounded conductor of the DC supply circuit to the grounding
conductor at the equipment.
For power connection, the following conditions must be met:
• This equipment must be connected directly to the DC supply system grounding electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from a
grounding terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system grounding electrode conductor is connected.
• This equipment must be located in the same immediate area (such as, adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment that has a
connection between the grounded conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor, and also the point of
grounding of the DC system. The DC system should not be
grounded elsewhere.
• The DC supply source must be located within
the same premises as the equipment.
• Switching or disconnecting devices will not be in the grounded circuit conductor between the DC source and the point of
connection of the grounding electrode conductor.

FIGURE 3-4. GROUNDING THE UNIT
Before you apply power:
1. Inspect the equipment thoroughly.
2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
3. Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or create a safety hazard.
4. Be sure that all equipment is mounted properly and securely.
STEP 5: Apply power.
Connect the 12–48 VDC power supply voltage to start up the switch via the terminal block.
