The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and re-
sult in poor contact of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for
the device to prevent static electricity, but too strong static electricity can cause
deadly damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board. To avoid the
effect of static electricity on the operation of the Switch, please attach much im-
portance to the following items:
■Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
■Keep the device well grounded and ensure static electricity has been trans-
ferred.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be
affected by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance
coupling, inductance coupling, and impedance coupling. To decrease the interfer-
ences, please make sure to take the following measures:
■Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.

07
Smart PoE+ Switch
Installation
■Keep the device far from high-frequency, strong-current devices, such as radio
transmitting station.
■Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Lightening Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the
air in the electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000℃. As this instant cur-
rent is strong enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection
measures should be taken.
■Ensure the rack and device are well earthed.
■Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.
■Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.
■Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.

Chapter 3 Lightning Protection
3.1 Cabling Reasonably
In the actual network environment, you may need cable outdoors and indoors, and
the requirements for cabling outdoors and indoors are different. A reasonable ca-
bling system can decrease the damage of induced lightning to devices.
Note: It's not recommended using Ethernet cables outdoors. When cabling
outdoors, please use a signal lightning arrester.
■Requirements for Cabling Outdoors
■Aerial cabling without safeguard is not allowed.
■It’s not allowed cabling down the building to connect network devices in different
floors.
■Outdoor cables should be buried and paved to the indoor through basement. A
piece of steel wire should be paved underground along the pipe and connected
to the lightning protection terminal of the building for shielding. Before connect-
ing the cable to the device, install a signal lightning arrester on the correspond-
ing port.
■When an aerial cable is set up, the cable should be through a metal pipe (15m
long at least) before coming into the building. The two ends of this metal pipe
should be grounded. Before connecting the cable to the device, install a signal
lightning arrester on the corresponding port.
■It’s not necessary to pave STP cables through pipes. The shielded layer of STP
cable should be well grounded. Before connecting the cable to the device, install
a signal lightning arrester on the corresponding port.

11
Smart PoE+ Switch
Lightning Protection
■Requirements for Cabling Indoors
When cabling indoors, keep a certain distance away from the devices that may
cause high-frequency interferences, such as down-conductor cable, powerline,
power transformer and electromotor.
■The main cable should be paved in the metal raceway of the access shaft. When
cabling, keep the loop area formed by the cable itself as small as possible.
■Requirements for the distance between Ethernet cable and other pipelines are
shown in the table.

3.2 Connect to Ground
Connecting the device to ground is to quickly release the lightning over-voltage and
over-current of the device, which is also a necessary measure to protect the body
from electric shock.
In different environments, the device may be grounded differently. The following
will instruct you to connect the device to the ground in two ways, connecting to the
grounding bar or connecting to the ground via the power cord. Please connect the
device to ground in the optimum way according to your specific operation environ-
ment.
■Connecting to the Grounding Bar
If the device is installed in the Equipment Room, where a grounding bar is available,
you are recommended to connect the device to the grounding bar as shown in the
following figure.

Note: The grounding bar and the ground cable are not provided with our product. If
needed, please self purchase them.
■Connecting to the Ground via the Power Supply
If the device is installed in the normal environment, the device can be grounded via
the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of the AC power supply as shown in the following fig-
ure.
Figure 3-2 Connecting to the Ground
Note:
■The figure is to illustrate the application and principle. The power plug you get
from the package and the socket in your situation will comply with the regulation
in your country, so they may differ from the figure above.
■If you intend to connect the device to the ground via the PE (Protecting Earth)
cable of AC power cord, please make sure the PE (Protecting Earth) cable in the
electrical outlet is well grounded in advance.
3.3 Equipotential Bonding
Equipotential Bonding is the practice of intentionally electrically connecting all
earthed systems to the same grounding grid or connecting the grounding grids of
all the earthed systems together through the ground or overground metal so as to
create an earthed equipotential zone. When lightning occurs, the high voltage pro-
duced by lightning current in all systems will meanwhile exist in their ground cables,
and thus all ground cables have the same electrical potential and basically eliminate
the electric strikes between the systems.

14
Smart PoE+ Switch
Lightning Protection
The figure below illustrates how to practice equipotential bonding in a network.
Grounding Terminal Equipotential Bonding Cable
Grounding Bar
Ground Cable
Figure 3-3 Equipotential Bonding
When equipotential bonding, please note that the cable should be copper wrapped
Kelly with its area being 6mm2at least. The shorter cable the better, and use a
grounding bar to establish an equipotential bonding point.
Note: The equipotential bonding cable and ground cable are not provided with our
product. If needed, please self purchase it.
3.4 Use Lightning Arrester
Power lightning arrester and signal lightning arrester are used for lighting protec-
tion.
Power lightning arrester is used for limiting the voltage surge due to a lightning. If
an outdoor AC power cord should be directly connected to the device, please use a
power lightning arrester.
Note: Power lightning arrester is not provided with our product. If needed, please
self purchase it.
Signal lightning arrester is used to protect RJ45 ports of the device from lightning.
When cabling outdoors, please install a signal lightning arrester before connecting
the cable to the device.
