Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch Installation and User Guide 05/07)

The actual connection procedure is very straightforward. Simply connect the leads to the Magnum unit, beginning with ground. Ensure that each lead is securely tightened.

Note: The GND should be hooked up first. The 6K32T & 6K32TRC unit has a floating ground, so the user may elect to Ground either + or - terminal to suit the customer’s use.

Before connecting hot lines to the Terminal Block of –48VDC, 24VDC or 125VDC, always use a digital voltmeter to measure the output voltage of the power supply and determine the lead which is more “+ve potential”. The more “+ve” voltage lead from 48V or –48V supply must be connected to the post labeled “+”.

An ON-OFF manual switch is optional for DC power. This can be used to cut off power connections and as a RESET for the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch.

B4.1 UL Requirements for DC-powered units

1.Minimum 18AWG cable for connection to a Centralized DC power source.

2.Minimum 14AWG cable for connection to a earthing wiring.

3.Use only with Listed 10 A circuit breaker provided in building installation.

4.“Complies with FDA radiation performance standards, 21 CFR subchapter J.” or equivalent.

5.Fastening torque of the lugs on the terminal block: 9 inch-pound max.

6.Centralized DC Power Source cable securement, use at least Minimum 14AWG four cable ties to secure the cable to the rac,k at least 4 inches apart, with the first one located within 6 inches of the terminal block.

B5.0 OPERATION

Operation of Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches with the optional - 48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC power supply is identical to that of the standard AC- powered models.

B6.0 ORDERING INFORMATION

To order the optional -48VDC power supply factory installed, add a suffix of “- -48VDC” after the product’s standard model # Example: Magnum 6K32R & 6K32T &

6K32TRC -48VDC.

Similarly to order the optional 24VDC or 125VDC industrial specific power supply factory installed, add a suffix of “ 24VDC” or “125VDC” after the product ‘s standard model #. Example: Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC- 24VDC, Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC-125VDC.
