Working Principle
The switch learns MAC addresses and forwards Ethernet frames at Layer 2. The management processor handles VLAN, QoS, SNMP, ring topology, and alarm logic. Fiber ports provide electrically isolated long-distance links.
Installation Requirements
Mount on 35 mm DIN rail or approved wall bracket.
Use isolated DC supply within 9.6 to 60 VDC.
Maintain ventilation space around the housing.
Ground the metal enclosure correctly.
Do not install in condensing or water-exposed areas unless the outer enclosure protects it.
Usage Notes
Configure Turbo Ring master/coupler/reserve before startup.
Do not mix multimode and single-mode optics.
Check fiber attenuation before commissioning.
Back up configuration before changes.
Monitor relay alarm output in the control system.
