Safety Warnings ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNING: Explosion hazard, do not disconnect while circuits is live unless area is known to be nonhazardous. WARNING: Disconnect the power cable before removing the enclosure top. WARNING: Do not operate the unit with the top cover removed. WARNING: Do not work on equipment or cables during periods of lightning activity. WARNING: Do not perform any services on the unit unless qualified to do so. WARNING: Do not block the air vents.
Hazardous Location Installation Requirements 1. WARNING: Do not disconnect while circuit is live, unless area is known to be non-hazardous. 2. WARNING: Install only in accordance with Local & National Codes of Authorities Having Jurisdiction. 3. Class I, Div 2 Installations require that power connections must be current limited at the power source with an in-line fuse rated at 0.5A. 4.
300 Series Industrial Ethernet Switches The 300 Series Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switches support high speed layer 2 switching between ports. All N-TRON 300 Series switches are housed in a ruggedized steel enclosure, and provide Category-5 compliant 10/100-BaseT connections for high performance network design, and hub/repeater upgrades. The 302MC/MCE is a 2 port unmanaged media converter that converts 10/100BaseTX copper to 100BaseFX full duplex fiber.
PACKAGE CONTENTS Please make sure the Ethernet Switch package contains the following items: 1. 2. 300 Series Unit N-Tron Product CD Contact your carrier if any items are damaged. INSTALLATION Read the following warning before beginning the installation: WARNING FXE units contain a class 1 laser. Do not stare into the laser beam (fiber optic connector) when installing or operating the product. Never install or work on electrical equipment or cabling during periods of lightning activity.
DIN-Rail Mounting Install the unit in a standard DIN-Rail. Recess the unit to allow at least 5” of horizontal clearance for fiber optic cable bend radius (2” for TX models). To install the unit to 35mm industrial DINRail, place the top edge of the included mounting bracket on the back of the unit against the DINRail at a 15° angle as shown. Rotate the bottom of the unit to the back (away from you) until it snaps into place.
FRONT PANEL LNK TX RX ACT RJ45 Ports Link LED for Fiber Optic Ports Fiber Optic Transmit Ports Fiber Optic Receive Ports Activity LED for Fiber Optic Ports Ports 1-4 Auto sensing 10/100BaseT Connections Green LED lights when Power is connected NOTE: Each RJ45 data port has two LED’s for each connector. The lower LED indicates LINK status, and the upper LED indicates ACTIVITY.
APPLYING POWER (Top View) Unscrew & Remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from the top header. Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug (observing polarity on unit). Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the top header. Tightening torque for the terminal block power plug is 0.22 Nm/0.162 Pound Foot. All LED’s will flash ON Momentarily Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN). Note: Either V1 or V2 can be connected to power for minimal operation.
N-TRON SWITCH GROUNDING TECHNIQUES The grounding philosophy of any control system is an integral part of the design. N-Tron switches are designed to be grounded, but the user has been given the flexibility to float the switch when required. The best noise immunity and emissions (i.e. CE) are obtained when the N-Tron switch chassis is connected to earth ground via a drain wire. Some N-Tron switches have metal din-rail brackets that can ground the switch if the din-rail is grounded.
RJ45 CONNECTOR CRIMP SPECIFICATIONS Please reference the illustration below for your Cat5 cable specifications: Rev 100807 12
CONNECTING THE UNIT For 300 Series fiber units, remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the fiber optic cables. For Fiber Optic ports, the TX port on the near station should be connected to the RX port of the far end station, and the RX port should be connected to the TX port of the far end station. For 10Base-T ports, plug a Category 3 (or greater) twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector.
