Common Installation Methods and Precautions of Industrial Switch

Industrial Switch is very powerful and its applications are very wide. It has its presence in electric power, rail transit, municipal administration, coal mine safety, factory automation, water treatment systems, urban security, etc. It is great help for the development of modern life intelligence. However, due to the usage environment, it is often necessary to use various methods when installing industrial switches, including rack-mounting, flat desktop, wall-mounted and DIN rail mounted. Next, I will introduce the common installation methods of industrial switches in detailand precautions so that you can better install or replace industrial switches!

How to install industrial switches

1. Installation method of the upper rack

The industrial switch box can be fixed on the rack through the bracket. Generally, two L-shaped chassis mounting ears have been installed before leaving the factory. The operation methods are as follows: In general, a standard chassis is used, that is, a standard installation cabinet is required;

2. Installation method that is flat on the desktop

The industrial switch can be placed directly on a smooth, flat and safe desktop. It is necessary to ensure that the working environment has enough space to ensure the ventilation and heat dissipation space of the equipment. But you need to pay attention to the following two points:

1) At least a space distance of 3cm-5cm should be ensured around the industrial switch, and heavy objects should not be placed on the switch; 2) Ensure that the physical surface of the industrial switch can withstand a weight of more than 3kg.

3. Wall-mounted installation

Industrial switches are very common in industrial field applications. The installation instructions are as follows:

1) First remove all the screws with a screwdriver. 2) Then rotate the removed wall-mounted ears 180°, align with the screw holes, and then fix them for a second time. Since the screws are loosened or the sliding wires may cause fatal damage to the device, please check whether the screws are fixed in place;3) Then fix it on the wall hanging holes reserved on the wall hanging ears.

4. DIN rail installation

General industrial switches are installed on standard DIN rails, which are very convenient in most industrial applications. The installation steps are as follows:1) First check whether there are DIN-Rail rail installation tool accessories to ensure that everything is normal; 2) Then adjust the product to the correct installation direction, that is to say, it is correct that the power terminals are upward; 3) Then put the upper half of the product guide rail card (the part with the circlip) into the guide rail first, and then clamp the lower half into the guide rail with a little force; 4) After inserting the DIN rail card into the card rail, check to make sure that the product is balanced and securely fixed on the DIN rail.

Installation Precautions for Industrial Switches

1. The industrial switch room should be dry, ventilated, free from corrosive gas and strong electromagnetic interference.

2. The humidity of the industrial switch room should be kept less than 80%, and the humidity should be constant at about 25 degrees Celsius. When conditions permit, corresponding facilities should be installed.

3. The grounding of the industrial switch should follow the grounding requirements described in this manual, and should be grounded separately and well.

4. The voltage of the industrial switch should be stable to prevent the abnormal operation of the switch caused by the sudden change and fluctuation of the power supply voltage.

5. A corresponding distance should be maintained between industrial switches and other equipment, and it is forbidden to stack other equipment and switches.

6. The connection cable between the industrial switch and the patch panel should be standardized and reasonable, and the patch panel (box) jumper should be concise and clear to prevent parallel lines and serial lines.

7. Security lightning protection devices should be installed on the inside and outside lead wires of the distribution frame.
