Smart Switch CCCCCCCCCC Installation 2222 Package Contents Make sure that the package contains the following items. If any of the listed items is damaged or missing, please contact your distributor. One Switch One Power Cord One Resource CD Two mounting brackets and the fittings This Installation Guide 2222 Safety Precautions To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, please observe the following rules. ■■ Safety Precautions ■■ Keep the power off during the installation.
Smart Switch ■■ Site Requirements To ensure normal operation and long service life of the device, please install it in an environment that meets the requirements described in the following subsection. Temperature/Humidity ȭ ȭ Please keep a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high/low humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes and corrosions.
Smart Switch ■■ ■■ 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 current is strong enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be taken.
Smart Switch 2222 Installation Tools ■■ Phillips screwdriver ■■ ESD-preventive wrist wrap ■■ Cables Note: These tools are not provided with our product. If needed, please self purchase them. 2222 Product Installation ■■ Desktop Installation To install the device on the desktop, please follow the steps: 111Set the device on a flat surface strong enough to support the entire weight of the device with all fittings. 222Remove the adhesive backing papers from the rubber feet.

Rack FFFFFFFFFFF Rack Installation Caution: Please set 5~10cm gaps around the device for air circulation. Please avoid any heavy thing placed on the device.
Smart Switch CCCCCCCCCC Lightning Protection 3333 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 cabling 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.
Smart Switch ■■ 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.

Smart Switch 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 figure. FFFFFFFFFFF Connecting to the Ground Note: The figure is to illustrate the application and principle.
Smart Switch Grounding Terminal Equipotential Bonding Cable Ground Cable Grounding Bar FFFFFFFFFFF Equipotential Bonding When equipotential bonding, please note that the cable should be copper wrapped 2 Kelly with its area being 6mm at least. The shorter cable the better, and use a grounding bar to establish an equipotential bonding point. Note: The equipotential bonding cable is not provided with our product. If needed, please self purchase it.
Smart Switch ■■ ■■ The port rate of the signal lightning arrester should match the rate of the desired port on the device. If it is not matched, this signal lighting arrester will not work. Purchase a standard lightning arrester. Install signal lightning arrester near the protected device and connect it to the ground via a shorter ground cable.
