CONTROL4 C4-DIN-8ESW-E (01) PDF MANUAL

C4-DIN-8ESW-E 8-Port Ethernet Switch (DIN Rail)

The Control4® 8-Port Ethernet Switch is part of the Control4 Panelized Lighting System. It installs in the Control4 5-Slot or 2-Slot Panel or in any standard DIN rail panel with 35mm rails. The Ethernet Switch is a standard 8-port 10/100 switch that allows a single Ethernet CAT5e cable to be pulled into the panel, and then distributed to up to seven (7) other Control4 panelized lighting devices in the panel.

WARNING! Improper use or installation can cause SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH or LOSS/DAMAGE OF PROPERTY.

WARNING! This device must be protected by a circuit breaker (20A max).

WARNING! Ensure that all circuit breakers feeding into the panel are OFF before installing or servicing the devices.

IMPORTANT! Using this product in a manner other than outlined in this document voids your warranty. Further, Control4 is NOT liable for any damage incurred with the misuse of this product.

IMPORTANT! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Control4 could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

IMPORTANT! The Ethernet Switch should be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

Prior to installing this product, ensure that the Control4 5-Slot or 2-Slot Panel or that the cabinet to house the switch has been installed.

1. Use Composer Pro to add the 8-Port Ethernet Switch to a project, define its location in a panel, and print the panel report. See the Composer Pro User Guide for details.

2. Install the panel following the instructions in the 5-Slot and 2-Slot Panel Installation Guide.

3. Install and wire the Terminal Block for the 8-Port Ethernet Switch following the instructions in the Terminal Block Installation Guide and in the location defined by the Composer Pro panel reports.

Install the third-party panel according to the third-party instructions.

1. The 8-Port Ethernet Switch should be installed in the panel next to the 8-Port Ethernet Switch Terminal Block.

2. With the green screw terminals on the left side of the 8-Port Ethernet Switch, hold the switch upright and angle it to the right so that the right side of the module fits onto the rail in the panel. NOTE: The 8-Port Ethernet Switch installs with the Line Voltage Connector on the left side and the Ethernet ports on the right side. While not required, the 8-Port Ethernet Switch should be installed in the bottom slot of the panel.

3. With the right side already in place, push forward on the left side of the 8-Port Ethernet Switch to snap it onto the rail.

4. On the left side of the 8-Port Ethernet Switch, connect the Line, Neutral and Ground wires from the Terminal Block to the screw terminals on the module. NOTE: To remove the module, push the module toward the left side, pull out from the left side, and remove it from the right side. IMPORTANT! All wires between the Terminal Block and the Ethernet Switch must use the same gauge wire as the field wiring connected to the Terminal Block. NOTE: Wiring between the Terminal Blocks and the module will be easiest when stranded wire is used. At the terminal block side, strip the wires 0.35 in. (9mm) and tighten to 7 in-lb (0.8Nm). At the module side, strip the wires 0.3 in. (7mm) and tighten to 5.3 in-lb (0.6Nm).

5. On the right side of the 8-Port Ethernet Switch, connect the incoming Ethernet CAT5 cable to an RJ-45 port.

6. Install the other modules in the panel as defined in the reports from Composer Pro.

7. Connect CAT5 patch cables from the Ethernet Switch to the other modules in the cabinet.

8. Turn the circuit breakers back ON and test the devices.

NOTE: Third-party panels do not require a Terminal Block.

1. With the green screw terminals pointing downward, hold the switch lengthwise and angle it up so that the top side of the module fits onto the rail in the panel. NOTE: The 8-Port Ethernet Switch installs with the Line Voltage Connector on the bottom and the Ethernet ports on the top.

2. With the top side seated in the rail, rotate the 8-Port Ethernet Switch down to snap it onto the rail.

3. Connect the Line, Neutral and Ground wires to the screw terminals on the module. Strip the wires 0.3 in. (7mm) and tighten to 5.3 in-lb (0.6Nm). NOTE: To remove the module, push the module toward the bottom, rotate the module up, and lift it off.

4. On the top of the 8-Port Ethernet Switch, connect the incoming Ethernet CAT5 cable to an RJ-45 port.

5. Install the other modules in the panel.

6. Connect the CAT5 patch cables from the 8-Port Ethernet Switch to the other modules in the panel.

7. Turn the circuit breakers back ON and test the devices.

The recessed Reset button on the front of the module can be used to reboot the Ethernet switch without removing power. Use a paper clip or similar device to access the Reset button.
