To remove Moxa EDS-205 from the
DIN-Rail, insert a flat-blade screw
driver horizontally into the DIN-Rail
kit under the EDS-205, and then pull
it upwards and release EDS towards
you away from the DIN-Rail.

Wiring Requirements

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing
and/or wiring your Moxa EtherDevice Switch.

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power
wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire
size.

If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the
wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.

You should also pay attention to the following points:

y

Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring
and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular
at the intersection point.

y

NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in
the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal
characteristics should be routed separately.

y

You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine
which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that
shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

y

Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.

y

It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when
necessary.
