CHAPTER 3: Installation
3.5 Power Supply Connection
Connect the Dual-Port Network Power Switch to an appropriate power supply.
CAUTION
This device should only be operated with the type of power source
indicated on the instrument nameplate. If you are not sure of the type of
power service available, please contact your local power company.
Reliable earthing (grounding) of this unit must be maintained. Give
particular attention to supply connections when connecting to power
strips, rather than directly to the branch circuit.
Check nameplate ratings to ensure that there is no overloading of
supply circuits that could have an effect on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring.
3.6 Connection to Switched Outlets
The main power switch must be on in order for the Dual-Port Network Power
Switch to operate. When the unit is powered on, the two AC outlets will be
switched on or off, as specified by the user-defined power-up default (see
Section 4.5). On SWI081A models (115 VAC), each outlet can switch up to
15 amps AC (total for both outlets must not exceed 15 amps). On SWI081AE
models (230 VAC), each outlet can switch up to 10 amps AC (total for both outlets
must not exceed 10 amps).
3.7 Reset Unit to Defaults
If option switch settings are changed, the new settings will not be applied until the
unit is reset to default settings. There are two ways to reset the unit to defaults: via
default parameters or via the default button.
NOTE
When these reset procedures are performed, all user-selected
parameters, including passwords and port names, will be lost. Before
performing these reset procedures, we strongly recommend that you
save configuration parameters to an ASCII text file as described in
Chapter 6.
