Overview
The EDS-G2008-EL/ELP Series has an 8-port combination to simplify
network expansion. There are two housing types available for the user
to select depending on the requirements of their application. The ELP
has a plastic housing and the EL has a metal housing. The compact
switches provide a cost-effective solution for your industrial Ethernet
connection requirements.
The EDS-G2008-EL/ELP Series provides 12/24/48 VDC power input,
and the switches are available with a standard operating temperature
range from -10 to 60°C, or with a wide operating temperature range
from -40 to 75°C (only available for the –T models in the EL Series).
The switches are rugged enough to operate reliably in harsh industrial
environments.
To provide greater versatility for use with applications from different
industries, the EDS-G2008-EL/ELP Series also allows users to enable or
disable broadcast storm protection (BSP), Quality of Service (QoS)
function via the DIP switches on the top panel.
The EDS-G2008-EL/ELP switches can be easily installed with DIN-rail
mounting as well as distribution boxes. The DIN-rail mounting
capability with LED indicators ensure that the plug-and-play EDS-
G2008-EL/ELP switches are reliable and easy to use.

DIN-rail Mounting
When shipped, the DIN-rail mounting kit is fixed to the back panel of
the EDS. Mount the EDS on the corrosion-free mounting rail that
adheres to the EN 60715 standard.
Suggested Installation Method
STEP 1:
Insert the upper lip of the DIN
-
rail kit into the mounting rail.
S
TEP 2:
Pres
s the device towards the
mounting rail until it snaps into
place.
Alternatively, you can use
a screwdriver to attach to the
bottom of the DIN
-
rail kit and pull
down.
Suggested Removal Method
STEP 1:
Pull down the latch on the DIN
-
rail kit wit
h a flat-head
screwdriver.
STEP 2:
Slightly pull the device forward
and lift up to remove it from the
mounting rail.

ATTENTION
When installing or removing the devices, please insert a flat
-
head screwdriver into the
latch of the holding clamp and pull
the latch downward rather than pushing it to
wards the DIN rail
side,
when removing the module from the rail.
If you want to change the position of the device on the DIN rail,
please follow the steps shown in the image
s above. First,
remove the device using a flat
-head screwdriver and then re-
install the device in the desired position. Please DO NOT directly
move the device on the DIN rail, without uninstalling it first.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified b
y the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired.
Please use a flat
-head screwdriver
with a head size of between 4 and 6
mm for proper installation or
removal.
WARNING
1.
The installation and the safety of any system incorporating
the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of the
system.
2.
This is an open type module and should be installed in a
safety enclosure with mechanical rigidity and an
appropriate IP rating

Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount EDS on the
wall, as illustrated below.
There are two options for installation: The first option
is to h
ook the EDS DIN-rail latch on the opening of
the
wall mount kit (see picture above) and then
mount the wall
-mount kit on the wall with screws.
(The other option is to perform these two steps in
the other order.)
The heads of the screws should be
less than
6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should
be less than 3.5 mm i
n diameter, as shown in the
figure at the right.
NOTE
Before tightening screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shank size are suitable by inserting th
e screw into
one of the keyhole
-shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting
Plates.
Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave about 2 mm to allow
room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the screws.
Once the screws are fixed in the
wall, insert the
two screw heads
through the large parts of the
keyhole
-shaped apertures, and
then slide EDS downwards, as
indicated. Tighten the
two
screws for added stability.
WARNING
External parts are hot. Take necessary precautions if it is
necessary to touch.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless the power supply
has been switched off or the area is known to be non
-
hazardous.
The devices may only be connected to the supply
voltage shown on the type
plate.
The devices are designed for operation with a
Safety Extra-L
ow
V
oltage. Thus, they may only be connected to the supply
voltage connections and to the signal contact with the
Safety
E
xtra-Low Voltages (SELV) in compliance with
IEC950/EN60950/VDE0805/UL 61010-1/UL 61010-2-201.
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your
Moxa EtherDevice Switch.
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 items:
•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 Moxa EtherDevice Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from
the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
A 4 mm2conductor must be used when a connection to the external
grounding screw is utilized.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well
-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
NOTE
When using shielded cables to connect two Ethernet devices, a
ground loop may occur if the shielding on the cables generates
an additional grounding connection path. This can cause ground
current to flow through to the Ethernet ports and damage the
devices. Therefore
, STP cables must only be connected to the
ground at one end.
Wiring the Power Input
The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 2 or 3 contact
terminal block connector on the EDS’s top panel are used for the EDS’s
two DC inputs. Top and front views of one of the terminal block
connectors are shown here.
STEP 1:
Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals.
STEP 2:
To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade
screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the
terminal block connector.
STEP 3:
Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the terminal
block receptor, which is located on the EDS’s top panel.
NOTE
The power source comes from secondary circuits. These circuits
are separated from mains circuits by a transformer in which the
primary windings are separated from the secondary windings
by reinforced installation, double installation, or a screen
connected to the protective conductor terminal.
