Mounting the switch on a workbench
IMPORTANT:
•
Ensure good ventilation and 10 cm (3.9 in) of clearance around the chassis for heat dissipation.
•
Avoid placing heavy objects on the switch.
To mount the switch on a workbench:
1.
Verify that the workbench is sturdy and correctly grounded.
2.
Place the switch with bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with dry cloth.
3.
Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom.
4.
Place the switch with upside up on the workbench.
Grounding the switch
WARNING!
Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the
chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this
chassis ground to the earth so the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the
earth to minimize EMI susceptibility of the switch.
You can ground the switch in one of the following ways, depending on the grounding conditions
available at the installation site:
•
Grounding the switch with a grounding strip
•
Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground
