Wiring Requirements
SAFETY FIRST
•
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa VPort 36-1MP.
•
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 the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.
You should also pay attention to the following:
• 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 in 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.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
• We strongly advise labeling the wiring to all devices in the system.
