DIN-Rail Mounting/Dismounting Instructions

ATTENTION: Switch models NGI-U05, NGI-U08 and NGI-U16 are open-type devices and shall be DINrail mounted. Model NGI-U05 may be wall mounted (optional) in cabinet or enclosure. The ambient temperature should not exceed 167°F (75°C).

Mounting the Switch
Place the NGI-Series switch on the DIN rail from above using the slot. Push the front of the switch toward the mounting surface until it snaps into place with the sound of a click.

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.

Wall-Mounted Mask (NGI-U05 Only)

Mount the switch by using mounting holes on the wall at the appropriate places.
The switch can be wall mounted either vertically or horizontally.
Note: Horizontal mounting is not evaluated by UL.

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. Observe 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 Power Input
NGI-U05 with 3-Pin Terminal Block
Check the polarity while connecting. Top view of the Terminal Block is shown in the ﬁgure below:

To insert power wire and connect the 9~48VDC at a maximum of 0.5A DC power 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 ( – / + ) terminals, respectively.
Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from loosening.

ATTENTION: Use a power supply from 9~48VDC. The device power shall be supplied by LPS (Limited Power Source) circuit.

NGI-U08 with 6-Pin Terminal Block
Use “PWR” for the primary power input and “RPS” for the redundant power input.

CAUTION:

Use copper conductors only.
Wiring cable temperature should support at least 220°F (105°C).
Tighten the wire to a torque value of 5 lb.-in.
The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 12 and 24 AWG.

To insert power wire and connect the 9~VDC at a maximum of 1A DC power to the NGI-U08 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 9~57VDC for NGI-U08. The device power shall be supplied by LPS (Limited Power Source) circuit.

Wiring the Relay Contact (ALM) – only for device with 6-pin terminal block
The NGI-U08 (device with 6-pin terminal block) has one set of relay alarm output. This relay contact uses two contacts of the terminal block on the NGI-U08 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.

DIP Switch Settings
The switch supports an “Alarm Relay Output” function. You can connect an alarm light or a buzzer. When events occur that enabled by the DIPs, the switch will operate the relay ON to enable the alarm light or a buzzer. The load can be an “alarm light” a “buzzer” or other equipment.

User conﬁgurable switches:

PWR or RPS “DIP ON”: when there is a power loss, the switch will operate the “Relay ON.” If connecting only to single power and a power loss occurs, the switch system will shut down and will not operate the “Relay ON.”
Port 1~ Port X “DIP ON”: when the port “Link is down,” the switch will operate the “Relay ON.” It can help to inform the link-down events that happened.
It is not required to connect alarm equipment to the Alarm Relay output port. The switch has an ALARM LED indicator on the front panel.
Default settings for the DIP switch are set to OFF positions.

NGI-U16 with 2-Pin Terminal Block

You can use “PWR” for power input.
Top view of the Terminal Block is shown in the figure at right.

CAUTION:

Use copper conductors only.
Wiring cable temperature should support at least 220°F (105°C).
Tighten the wire to a torque value 4.5 lb.-in.
The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 12 and 24 AWG.

To insert power wire and connect the 12~48VDC at a maximum of 1.5A DC power 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. The device power shall be supplied by LPS (Limited Power Source) circuit.

Cabling

Connect one end of an Ethernet/RJ45 cable into the Ethernet port of the NGI-U05, NGI-U08 or NGI-U16. Connect the other end to a network device. Ports 1 through 5, 8 or 16 on the switch support Fast Ethernet, as well as Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T ports).
All the RJ45 ports on the NGI-U05 and NGI-U08 support auto- negotiation and Auto MDI/MDI-X to eliminate the need for crossover cabling.

Note: Category 5e or above cable should be used.

Grounding the NGI Series Switch Models
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

ATTENTION: This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
