Grounding the Industrial Rackmount 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.
Connecting the Power Inputs
The IKS-G6524A/G6824A series of switches supports dual redundant
power supplies: Power Supply 1 (PWR1) and Power Supply 2 (PWR2). The
connections for PWR1 and PWR2 are located on the rear side (shown
below). Be sure to use a standard power cord with an IEC C13 connector,
which is compatible with the AC power inlet.
Wiring the Relay Contact
Each IKS-G6524A/G6824A switch has one relay output.
FAULT:
The relay contact of the 4-pin terminal block connector is used to detect
user-configured events. The two wires attached to the fault contacts form
an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If a
user-configured event does not occur, the fault circuit remains closed.

USB Console Connection
The IKS-G6524A/G6824A series has one USB console port (type B
connector), located on the top panel. Use the USB cable (provided in the
product package) to connect the IKS-G6524A/G6824A’s console port to
your PC’s USB port and install the USB driver (available in the software CD)
on the PC. You may then use a console terminal program, such as Moxa
PComm Terminal Emulator, to access the IKS-G6524A/G6824A’s console
configuration utility.

The Reset Button
Press the Reset button for five continuous seconds to load the factory
default settings. Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or
toothpick, to press the Reset button. When you do so, the STATE LED will
start to blink about once per second. Continue to press the STATE LED
until it begins blinking more rapidly, indicating that the button has been
pressed continuously for five seconds. You can now release the Reset
button to load factory default settings.
NOTE
DO NOT power off the switch when loading default settings.

Rack Mounting Instructions
1. Elevated Operating Ambient:If installed in a closed or multi-unit
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
2. Reduced Air Flow:Installation of the equipment in a rack should be
such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical Loading:Mounting of the equipment in the rack should
be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
4. Circuit Overloading:Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable Earthing:Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.
use of power strips)."
Restricted Access Locations
•This equipment is intended to be used in Restricted
Access Locations, such as a computer room, with
access
limited to SERVICE PERSONAL
or USERS who have been
instructed on how to handle the metal chassis of
equipment that is so hot that special protection may be needed
before touching it. The location should only be accessible with a
key
or through a security identity system.
•External metal parts of this equipment are extremely hot!! Before
touching the equipment, you must take special precautions to protect
your hands and body from serious injury.

ATTENTION
1.
This device is only for indoor use and Pollution degree 2.
2.
Conductors rated to withstand at least 105
°C must be used
for the Power Supply Terminal.
3.
When wiring the relay contact, digital input and power inputs
,
we suggest using the cable type - AWG (American Wire
Gauge) 16-24 and the corresponding pin type cable
terminals. The connector must be able to withstand torque at
maximum 5 pound-inches.
4.
The equipment has a separate protective earthing terminal
on the chassis that must be permanently
connected to earth
ground to adequately ground the chassis and protect the
operator from electrical hazards. To avoid risks of electric
shock, do not replace or remove the protective conductor.
5.
The IP rating is not part of the safety certification.
6.
This device must be installed within a suitable enclosure.
7.
The cable that is connected to the field wiring terminals must
be able to withstand at least 75°C.
Responsible Risk
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. The
manufacture is not responsible for any accident caused by the scenario
mentioned above.
