1. Introduction
Ethernet Switches from Weidmüller are designed with a very compact housing size and
are fitted with a robust housing. To ensure reliable, error-free operation, and to prevent
damage or injury, please read the operating instructions, all safety information provided in
this document and any other safety information that were supplied with the product.
2. Safety notice
Switch off the electrical power before removing the power connection!
The device heats up during operation. Allow the unit to cool down or use
protection gloves when carrying out any work.
The device may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on the
product label. Higher voltage than specified will destroy the device.
The device must be supplied by a SELV source as defined in the Low
Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and 2014/30/EU.
Installation, commissioning and maintenance may only be performed by
qualified electricians.
Observe the operating instructions.
Indoor use and pollution degree II, it must be wiped with a dry cloth for
clean up the device and label.
o Utilisation en intérieur et degré de pollution II, il faut l'essuyer avec un
chiffon sec pour nettoyer l'appareil et son étiquette.
Do not block air ventilation holes.
o Ne bouchez pas les orifices de ventilation.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
o Si l’appareil est utilise d’une maniere non specifiee par le fabricant, la
protection qu’il apporte peut se voir diminuee.
Shall be mounted in the Industrial Control Panel and ambient
temperature is not exceed 75 degrees C.
o Doit être monté dans le panneau de commande industriel et la
température ambiante ne doit pas dépasser 75 degrés C.
Intended use
The device is intended for the realization of communication networks within an industrial environment,
it is intended to be used in a restricted access location. The device may only be used within the scope
of the specified technical data. The device is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting
surface, such as a metal panel. Any other use may result in unintentional malfunction and damage.
Observing the documentation is part of the intended use.
Environmental conditions
This equipment is intended to be used in a restricted access location.
When planning the installation site make sure that the ambient temperature during operation will not
exceed the temperature given in the technical data.
Also make sure that the air flow will not be compromised by other devices.
Ensure that the mounted and wired device is not exposed to any mechanical stress.
FCC compliance
This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

IE-SW-EL08-6TX-2SC(S) (units = mm)
6. DIN-Rail Mounting
Slide the switch onto a DIN-rail and make sure that the switch’s Din-rail clip clicks into
the rail firmly.
STEP 1: Insert the top of the DIN-Rail
into the slot just below the stiff metal
spring.
STEP 2: The DIN-Rail attachment
unit will snap into place as shown
below.
To remove the DIN-rail from the Ethernet Switch, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2.
7. Grounding Ethernet Switch
ATTENTION
- Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding
surface prior to connecting devices.
- This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
- The shielding ground of the RJ45 ports are electrically connected
to the ground connection (screw).
