Installation and Setup Guidance
Mount the switch on a DIN rail inside a protective enclosure, as it has an open-style rating. Ensure at least 2 inches of clearance around the unit for airflow. Use Category 5e or better shielded Ethernet cables for optimal noise immunity. Connect the power supply (12-24 VDC, Class 2/SELV) to the dual inputs for redundancy.
Maintenance and Reliability
Inspect the switch periodically for dust accumulation and verify that ambient temperature stays within -40 to 60°C (-40 to 140°F). Check alarm relay connections and SFP module seating. No internal user-serviceable parts; contact AutoDCSTech for replacement units if needed.
