Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)

incorrect polarity connection, for example, will neither affect the Switch, its internal power supply, nor will it blow the fuse in the internal power supply.

The manual power “On-Off” Switch (optional) is used for powering the unit on and off when it is placed into or taken out of service.

B3.0 APPLICATIONS FOR DC POWERED ETHERNET SWITCHES

Magnum 6K16-Series Switches are easily installed in a variety of applications where -48VDC, 24, or 125VDC or 5VDC power is used as the primary power source. The DC power configuration capability provides an Ethernet networking solution utilizing a special power supply in switches with a proven track record.

The –48VDC solution is particularly useful in the telecommunication industry, where it is common for facilities to operate on -48VDC power. Such companies include regular and wireless telephone service providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and other communication companies. In addition, many high availability equipment services, such as broadcasters, publishers, newspaper operations, brokerage firms and other facilities often use a battery backup system to maintain operations in the event of a power failure. It is also frequently used for computer system backup, management and operations monitoring equipment.

The 24V and 125VDC options are particularly useful in the Industrial environment, where it is common for facilities to operate on 24VDC or 125VDC power. The 125VDC options are mainly used in power utilities, such as electrical substations, electrical generating plants, etc. The 24VDC applications are mainly in the Industrial environment, such as factory floor, HVAC equipment, military equipment, etc. The 5VDC options are mainly used for military or Industrial factory floor applications.

B4.0 6K16-SERIES, -48V, 24, 125 OR 5VDC INSTALLATION

This section describes the proper connection of the -48VDC leads (or 24VDC/125VDC/5VDC leads) to the DC power terminal block on the Magnum 6K16- Series Switch. The DC terminal block on the Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Switch is located on the left front of the unit and is equipped with three (3) screw-down lead posts. The power terminals are identified as positive (+) and negative (-), and they are floating inside the unit so that either may be grounded by the user if desired. The chassis is “earth” or ground (GND).

The connection procedure is straightforward. Simply insert the DC leads to the Switch’s power terminals, positive (+) and negative (-) screws. The use of Ground (GND) is optional; it connects to the Switch chassis. Ensure that each lead is securely tightened.

NOTE: Always use a voltmeter to measure the voltage of the incoming power supply and figure out the +ve potential lead or -ve potential lead. The more +ve potential lead will connect to the post labeled “+ve” and the rest to the “-ve”. The GND can be hooked up at the last.

When power is applied, the green PWR LED will illuminate.
