Connecting the Switch to the Power Converter
Installing the Power Converter on a DIN Rail, Wall, or Rack Adapter
You install the power converter on a DIN rail, wall, or rack as you would a switch module. You should
first attach the power converter to the switch and then install the entire switch assembly on the DIN rail,
wall, or rack adapter. For more information, see the
“Attaching the Power Converter to the Switch”
, the
“Installing the Switch on a DIN Rail” section on page B-30
, the
Switch on a Wall” section on page B-34
, or the
“Installing the Switch in a Rack” section on page B-36
Warning
This equipment is supplied as “open type” equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure that is
suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately
designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The interior of the
enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool.
The enclosure must meet IP 54 or NEMA type 4 minimum enclosure rating standards. Statement 1063
Caution
To prevent the switch assemble from overheating, there must be a minimum of 3 inches (76.19 mm)
between any other device and the top, bottom, or sides of the switch assembly.
Connecting the DC Power Clip
The DC power clip is a prewired cable that connects DC power from the power converter to the switch
module. Because the power clip uses the Pwr A connector, you cannot use the alarm connections on that
connector.
Follow these steps to connect DC power from the power converter to the switch module.
Step 1
Locate the DC power clip in the power converter accessory kit.
Step 2
Position the power clip so that the two-pin connector is over the power converter and the four-pin
connector is over the switch Pwr A connector, and then slide the power clip into these two connectors.
