Try to avoid maintaining the wireless controller that is powered-on alone.
Be sure to make a careful check before you shut down the power supply.
Do not place the equipment in a damp location. Do not let any liquid enter the chassis.
Any nonstandard and inaccurate electric operation may cause an accident such as fire or electrical shock, thus
causing severe even fatal damages to human bodies and equipment.
Direct or indirect touch through a wet object on high-voltage and mains supply may bring a fatal danger.
RG-WS6024 wireless controller has more than one power cords, make sure to cut off all before shut down the
system.
2.1.4 Static Discharge Damage Prevention
To prevent damage from static electricity, pay attention to the following:

Proper grounding of grounding screws on the back panel of the device. Use of a three-wire single-phase socket with
protective earth wire (PE) as the AC power socket.
Indoor dust prevention
Proper humidity conditions
2.1.5 Laser
The RG-WS6024 series wireless controller supports varying models of optical modules sold on the market which are
Class I laser products. Improper use of optical modules may cause damage. Therefore, pay attention to the following
when you use them:
When a fiber transceiver works, ensure that the port has been connected with an optical fiber or is covered with a
dust cap, to keep out dust and avoid burning your eyes.
When the optical module is working, do not pull out the fiber cable and stare into the transceiver interface or you may
hurt your eyes.
Do not stare into any optical port under any circumstances, as this may cause permanent damage to your eyes.
2.2 Installation Site Requirements
To ensure the normal working and a prolonged durable life of the equipment, the installation site must meet the following
requirements.
2.2.1 Ventilation
For the RG-WS6024, a sufficient space (at least 10 cm distances from both sides and the back plane of the cabinet)
should be reserved at the ventilation openings to ensure the normal ventilation. After various cables have been connected,
they should be arranged into bundles or placed on the cabling rack to avoid blocking the air inlets. It is recommended to
clean the wireless controller at regular intervals (like once every 3 months). Especially, avoid dust from blocking the
screen mesh on the back of the cabinet.
2.2.2 Temperature and Humidity
To ensure the normal operation and prolong the service life of RG-WS6024 series wireless controller, you should keep
proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
If the equipment room has temperature and humidity that do not meet the requirements for a long time, the equipment
may be damaged.
In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have bad insulation or even leak electricity.
Sometimes the materials may suffer from mechanical performance change and metallic parts may get rusted.
In an environment with low relative humidity, however, the insulating strip may dry and shrink. Static electricity may
occur easily and endanger the circuit on the equipment.
In an environment with high temperature, the equipment is subject to even greater harm, as its performance may
degrade significantly and various hardware faults may occur.
Therefore, the ambient temperature and humidity of the RG-WS6024 series must meet the requirements listed in Table
2-1:
Table 2-1 Temperature and Humidity Requirements of the RG-WS6024 Series Wireless controller

Temperature
Relative Humidity
0ºC to 45ºC (32ºF to 113ºF)
5% to 95%
The requirements for the sampling site of the temperature and humidity in the operating environment of the device
are as follows:
There is no protective plate at the front or back of the equipment rack.
The vertical height is 1.5 m above the floor.
The distance from the front panel of the equipment is 0.4 m.
2.2.3 Cleanness
Dust poses a severe threat to the running of the equipment. The indoor dust falling on the equipment may be adhered by
the static electricity, causing bad contact of the metallic joint. Such electrostatic adherence may occur more easily when
the relative humidity is low, not only affecting the useful life of the equipment, but also causing communication faults.
Table 2-2 shows the requirements for the dust content and granularity in the equipment room.

Both average and maximum value are measured for a week. The wireless controller cannot be placed in the
environment with the maximum density for over 30 minutes every day.
2.2.4 Grounding
A good grounding system is the basis for the stable and reliable operation of the RG-WS6024 series wireless controller. It
is the chief condition to prevent lightning stroke and resist interference. Please carefully check the grounding conditions
on the installation site according to the grounding requirements, and perform grounding operations properly as required.

Effective grounding of the wireless controller is an important guarantee for lightning protection and interference
resistance. Therefore, connect the grounding line of the wireless controller properly.
Safety Grounding
The equipment using AC power supply must be grounded by using the yellow/green safety grounding cable. Otherwise,
when the insulating resistance decreases the power supply and the enclosure in the equipment, electric shock may occur.
The building must provide protective grounding connection to ensure that the device is connected to the protection
location.
The installation and maintenance personnel must check whether the A.C. socket is well connected to the protection
location of the building, if not, they should use a protective grounding wire to connect the grounding end of the A.C.
socket to the building's protection location.
The power supply socket must be installed in a place that is near to the device and where users can operate the
device easily.
Before the installation of the device, make sure that ground connection is connected at first and disconnected finally.
The sectional area of the protective grounding wire should be at least 0.75 mm2(18 AWG).
Use the 3-core power supply line. The sectional area of each pin should be at least 0.75 mm2or 18 AWG.
Lightning Grounding
The lightning protection system of a facility is an independent system that consists of the lightning rod, download
conductor and the connector to the grounding system, which usually shares the power reference ground and yellow/green
safety cable ground. The lightning discharge ground is for the facility only, irrelevant to the equipment.
EMC Grounding
The grounding required for EMC design includes shielding ground, filter ground, noise and interference suppression, and
level reference. All the above constitute the comprehensive grounding requirements. The resistance of earth wires should
be less than 1 ohm. The back plane of RG-WS6024 series wireless controller is reserved with one grounding pole, as
shown in Figure 2-5.
Figure 2-5 Grounding of RG-WS6024
2.2.5 Lightning Resistance
When the AC power cable is imported outdoors and directly connected to the power port of the RG-WS6024 series
wireless controller, lightning line bank should be adopted to prevent the wireless controller from being hit by lightning
shocks. Usage of the lightning line bank: Connect the mains supply AC cable to the lightning line bank. Then, connect the

wireless controller to the lightning line bank. This can help to prevent the current of high-voltage lightning from passing the
wireless controller directly through the mains supply cable to a certain extent.
The lightning line banks are not provided and should be purchased by users as required.
For the usage of lightning line banks, refer to their related manuals.
2.2.6 EMI
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), from either outside or inside the equipment or application system, affects the system
in the conductive ways such as capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, and electromagnetic radiation.
There are two types of electromagnetic interference: radiated interference and conducted interference, depending on the
type of the transmission path.
When the energy, often RF energy, from a component arrives at a sensitive component via the space, the energy is
known as radiated interference. The interference source can be either a part of the interfered system or a completely
electrically isolated unit. Conducted interference results from the electromagnetic wire or signal cable connection between
the source and the sensitive component, along which cable the interference conducts from one unit to another. Conducted
interference often affects the power supply of the equipment, but can be controlled by a filter. Radiated interference may
affect any signal path in the equipment and is difficult to shield.
For the AC power supply system TN, single-phase three-core power socket with protective earthing conductors (PE)
should be adopted to effectively filter out interference from the power grid through the filtering circuit.
The grounding device of the wireless controller must not be used as the grounding device of the electrical equipment
or anti-lightning grounding device. In addition, the grounding device of the wireless controller must be deployed far
away from the grounding device of the electrical equipment and anti-lightning grounding device.
Keep the equipment away from high-power radio transmitter, radar transmitting station, and high-frequency
large-current device.
Measures must be taken to shield static electricity.
