Connect Power Supplies, Alarm Relay, and Ground Connection

Use the following sections to connect the power supplies, alarm relay, and ground connection.

Connect the Power Supplies to a Power Source

The power supplies connect to an AC power source and convert the AC current to DC current for the switch to use. The power supplies are redundant; two 240W power supplies do not provide 480W, they only provide 240W. The power supplies must be installed by qualified personnel such as licensed electricians, in accordance with local electrical codes, and connected to a well fused power source.

Warning

Warning

Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform installation procedures and field wiring to AC primary voltage source
Warning

Warning

Electrical Hazard: Risk of electrical shock and energy hazard. All failures should be examined by a qualified technician. Do not remove the case of the power supply by yourself
Warning

Warning

Electrical Hazard: Risk of electric arcs and electric shock (danger to life). Connecting both the primary and the secondary sides together is not allowed.
Warning

Warning

Do not install the unit in places with high moisture or near water.
Warning

Warning

The Frame Ground (FG) must be connected to PE (Protective Earth).
Warning

Warning

Before commencing any installation, maintenance, or modification work, disconnect your system from supply voltage. Make sure that inadvertent connection in circuit will be impossible!
Warning

Warning

Always enable good ventilation clearances: 5mm left and right, 40 mm above, and 20 mm below the unit in use to prevent it from overheating. Also a 10-15 cm clearance must be kept when the adjacent device is a heat source
Warning

Warning

The appropriate mounting orientation for the unit is vertical, the input terminals at the bottom and output on the top. Mounting orientations other than that, such as upside down, horizontal, or table-top mounting, is not allowed.
Warning

Warning

To reduce risk of accidental shock or burn, install PSU in a Restricted Access Location. A Restricted Access Location is a location for equipment where both of the following apply:
  • Access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS or by USERS who have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that shall be taken.
  • Access is through the use of a TOOL or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Warning

Warning

For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with same type and rating of fuse.

Pour ne pas compromettre la protection contre les risqué d‘incendie, remplacer par un fusible de même type et de memes caractéristiques nominales.

Installing Instructions
  1. Use copper wire only. The following table shows recommended wires.
    18 16 14 12 10
    Rated Current of Equipment (Amp) 6A 6-10A 13-16A 16-25A 25-32A
    Cross-section of Lead (mm2) .75 1.0 1.5 2.5 4
    Note

    Note

    • Current each wire carries should be de-rated to 80% of the current suggested abovewhen using 5 or more wires connected to the unit.
    • The maximum allowable wire cross-sectional area for the terminal of the SDR-75 is12AWG/2.5 mm2.
  2. Make sure that all strands of each stranded wire enter the terminal connection and the screwterminals are securely fixed to prevent poor contact.

    If the power supply possesses multi-output terminals, make sure each contact is connected to wiresto prevent too much current stress on a single contact.

  3. Use wires that can withstand temperatures of at least 80°C, such as UL1007.
  4. The recommended screwdriver is 4mm, slotted type. The recommended torque setting for terminals is shown in in the table below.
    Model I/P O/P
    SDR-240 / 480 5 kgf-cm (4.4 lb-in) 8 kgf-cm (7 lb-in)
  5. The suggested fuse and maximum number of the SDR PSUs that can be connected to a circuit breaker at 230V are shown in the following table.
    Model Fuse Circuit Breaker
    C16 D16
    SDR-240 T5A/L250V 4 8
    SDR-480 T8A/L250V 4 4
  6. Verify that the power source circuit is de-energized.
  7. Connect the power source to the AC input terminals on the power supplies. See Power Supply AC and DC inputs for the AC input terminal location on the power supply.

  8. Continue to Connect Power Supplies to the Switch.

Connect Power Supplies to the Switch

The following AC-DC power supplies (PSUs) are available for the ISW-Series switches:

240 W AC-DC PSU
Part number 16807 is compatible with all ISW-Series switch models.
480 W AC-DC PSU
Part number 16920 is compatible with all ISW-Series switch models.

The AC-DC power interface is a 6-pin terminal block with polarity signs on the top panel on most of the ISW-Series switches. The 6-pin terminal block contains an alarm contact in the middle of the terminal block. The power interface for the ISW 24GbP, 4-SFP model switch is a 4-pin terminal block with polarity signs on the rear panel.

Use the following steps to install the power supplies:

  1. Verify that the power source circuit is de-energized.
  2. Connect the DC output terminals on the power supply to the DC input terminals on the switch. Insert the positive and negative wires into V+ and V- contacts on the terminal block respectively and tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from being loosened.

    See Power Supply AC and DC inputs for the location of the DC output terminals on the power supply. See the following illustrations for the location of the DC terminal inputs on the switch.

  3. Energize the power source circuit.
  4. When power is connected, verify that the switch‘s PWR LED turns green. If the PWR LED does not turn green, refer to System Status LEDs for troubleshooting information.

Connect the Alarm Relay and Ground Connection

The alarm relay output contacts are in the middle of the DC terminal block connector as shown below.

The alarm relay out is “Normal Open,” and it closes when any predefined failure such as a power failure or an Ethernet link failure is detected.

The relay output with current carrying capacity of 0.5A @ 24 VDC.
