earth must be linked together. Before the connection of input or output terminal, please make
sure this product is correctly grounded;
◆Immediately remove all other things after the wiring installation. Please cover the terminals of
the products cover before electrification so as to avoid cause electric shock.
Matters needing attention during operation and maintenance:
◆Please do not touch terminals in a current state, or it may cause a shock, incorrect

operation;
◆Please do cleaning and terminal tighten work after turning off the power supply. These
operations can lead to electric shock in a current
state;
◆Please do the connection or dismantle work of the communication signal cable , the expansion
module cable or control unit cable after turning
off the power supply, or it may cause damage to the equipment, incorrect operation;
◆Please do not dismantle the equipment, avoid damaging the internal electrical component;
◆Should be sure to read the manual, fully confirm the safety, only after that can do program
changes, commissioning, start and stop operation.
Matters needing attention in discarding product:
◆Electrolytic explosion: the burning of electrolytic capacitor on circuit boards may lead to
explosion;

■Straight wire connection
Connect the VS-C200 to router or switch by using Cat5/5e straight link wire.
■Wire line order
In this system, the CAT5/5e cable is used to connect the VS-C200 to network control
equipment, each end of the line is fixed with the RJ-45 connector (commonly known as the
crystal head). The standard line order is not random, the purpose is to ensure the symmetry of
the cable connector layout, so that the interference between the cable and the cable can be
offset. Generally, Cat5/5e cable has four twisted pairs which are marked by different colors.
