Hardware Installation
b. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from coming loose.
• PWR1 and PWR2 support power redundancy and reverse polarity protection.
• Accepts a positive or negative power source but PW1 and PW2 must apply to the same mode.
• If both power inputs are connected, the ES8510-XTE is powered from the highest connected
voltage.
• The ES8510-XTE can emit an alarm if PW1 or PW2 are no longer receiving power. See the Warning
discussion on Page 109 to configure an alarm.
2. Connect a ground wire between the chassis and earth ground using
12-24AWG wire to ensure that the ES8510-XTE is not damaged by
noise or electrical shock.
a. Loosen the chassis ground screw on the bottom of the
ES8510-XTE.
b. Insert the ground wire.
c. Tighten the ground screw after the earth ground wire is
connected.
Connect the Digital Input s and Relay Outputs
The ES8510-XTE provides two digital inputs and two digital outputs (dry relay output) on terminal block
connectors on the bottom of the unit. The fault conditions can be configured in the web user interface or
Command Line Interface (CLI) and include:
• DI State
• Power failure
• Ethernet port link break
• Dry output
• Ping failure
• Super Ring failure
You can configure events using one of the ES8510-XTE user interfaces ( Fault Relay on Page 109) or the
Command Line Interface ( Global Configuration Mode on Page 133).
The Digital Input pin can be pulled high
or low so that the connected equipment
can actively drive these pins. The web
user interface allows you to read and set
the value to the connected device. The
power input voltage of logic low is 0 to
10VDC and logic high is 11 to 30VDC.
Do not apply a higher voltage than the
specification; it may cause internal
circuit damage or a cause an incorrect
DI action.
