Product Overview

8-Port Unmanaged Industrial Gigabit 10/100/1000 Ethernet Switch with EIP QoS, DIN or Wall-Mountable

DIN-Rail Mounting and Dismounting Instructions

ATTENTION: The NGI-U08A is an open-type device and shall be DIN-rail mounted or wall mounted (optional) in a cabinet or rack enclosure. The ambient temperature should not exceed 75°C (167°F).

Mounting the Switch

Place the switch on the DIN rail from above using the built-in slot. Push the front of the switch toward the mounting surface until it snaps into place. You will hear a “click” to indicate it has successfully snapped into place.

Dismounting the Switch

Press the switch from the top, then pull out the lower edge of the switch to remove it from the DIN rail.

ATTENTION: A corrosion-free DIN mounting rail is advisable. When mounting the switch, be sure to allow enough space between devices to install the cabling and to ensure proper airflow.

Grounding the Switch

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of line noise caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface, then connect the ground connection from the terminal block to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

ATTENTION: This switch is intended for mounting on a well-grounded surface, such as a metal panel.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING: Safety measures should be taken before connecting the power cable. Turn off the power before connecting modules or wires. The correct power supply voltage is listed on the product label. Check the voltage of your power source to make sure you are using the correct voltage. DO NOT use a voltage greater than what is specified on the product label. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Confirm all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If current exceeds the maximum rating, the wiring can overheat causing serious damage to your equipment.

Please read and follow these guidelines:

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.
Note: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. Wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
You should separate input wiring from output wiring.
Be advised that you should label the wiring to all devices in the system.

Wiring Requirements

Wiring Power Input

You can use “PWR” for Primary Power input and “RPS” for Redundant Power Input. Check the polarity while connecting. The top view of the Terminal Block is shown in the figure below:

CAUTION:

Use copper conductors only.
Wiring cable temperature should support at least 105°C (221˚F).
Tighten the wire to a torque value 0.5 N•m (4.5 in•lb).

Note: The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 12 and 24 AWG.

To insert power wire and connect the specified voltage and maximum electric current to the power terminal block, follow these steps:

Use a flat-head screwdriver to loosen the wire-clamp screws.
Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the PWR-/PWR+ terminals, respectively.
Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from loosening.

ATTENTION: Use a power supply from 12~48VDC, 0.5A maximum. The device power shall be supplied by LPS circuit.

Wiring the Relay Contact (ALM)

The switch has one set of relay alarm output. This relay contact uses two contacts of the terminal block on the switch top panel. The two contacts of the 6-pin terminal block connector are used to detect user-configured events. The two wires attached to the fault contacts form an open circuit when a user- configured event is triggered. If a user-configured event does not occur, the fault circuit remains closed.

Wiring the Relay Contact

Cabling

Connect one end of an RJ45 Ethernet cable (see Optional Accessories ) into the switch’s RJ45 Ethernet port. Connect the other end to a network device. Cat5e cable or above is recommended.

Ports 1-8 of the switch support Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbp speeds)
All ports support auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X to eliminate the need for crossover cabling.

ATTENTION: If the switch is used in a manner not specified here, the protection provided by the switch may be impaired.
