4. Wiring Requirements A ATTENTION Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and or wiring your Moxa VPort 451 Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size If the current goes above the maximum ratings the wiring could overheat causing serious damage to your equipment You should also pay attention to the following e Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point NOTE Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit To avoid interference wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately e You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together e Keep input wiring and output wiring separated e It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when necessary 2 14 VPort 451 User s Manual Getting Started Grounding the VPort 451 Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference EMI Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting device
