Installation Procedure
Installing in a Rack
Refer to the illustrations below; user can install the device in most standard
19-inch (48.3-cm) racks. For RS628/428 2 power series, user should use the 4
of supplied screws to attach a mounting bracket on each side of device first.
- Insert and tighten two screws through each of the mounting brackets.
Wiring the Digital Input
To wire the DI on the Terminal block, use a screwdriver to loosen the screws,
insert the positive and negative wires into the DI+ and DI- contact, and then
tighten the screws after the DI wire is connected. High: 11~30V, Low: 0~10V.
Wiring the Relay Output (Alarm)
The relay output of the 2-pin terminal block connector is used to detect user-
configured events. The two wires attached to the fault contacts form a close
circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If a user-configured event
does not occur, the fault circuit remains open. The spec. of DO is 0.5A/24VDC.
Wiring the Power Input
Connect the attached power to the AC or DC power input connector, the
available AC power input range is from 90-264 VAC while the DC power input
range is 18~72VDC.
Grounding Screw
For avoiding system damage by noise or electric shock, establish a direct
connection between the ground screw and the grounding surface prior to
connecting devices. At the AC power input, the 3 pins include V+, V-, and GND.
For the DC version, the grounding screw is on the right side of the DC power
connector. The GND pin must be connected to the earth’s ground.
USB Port
Use the USB port in order to save or restore the configuration and upload the
firmware upgrade file. For further configurations, please refer to User
Manual.
Combo Port Mode
The device supports 4 Combo ports and allows the user to configure 3 types of
port modes in the following path.
Ethernet Port - > Port Setting -> Port Mode
Select the Port Mode type and press “Submit”. After submitted, Reboot the
system to activate the new setting.
For further configurations, please refer to User Manual.
| Port Mode | COMBO Port 21-24 |
|---|---|
| 20GbE Copper + 8 GbE Fiber (Default) | 4 x Fiber |
| 24GbE Copper + 4 GbE Fiber | 4 x Copper |
| 22GbE Copper + 6 GbE Fiber | 2 x Copper+2 x Fiber |

Safety Precautions
- Keep DC power off before connecting to the terminal block connectors and ensure all connections are securely and established.
- Do make sure that models connect to the corresponding supply voltage. The device is to be supplied by Limited Power Supply. The relay contact supports 0.5 A current, DC24V.
- The DIN Rail should comply with the DIN EN50022 standard. Using the wrong DIN rail may cause unsafe installation.
- Do not touch the surface of the switch while it is performing in a high-temperature environment!
