OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches have the following environ-
mental and airflow requirements:

The installation site must maintain a temperature 
between 0° and 45° Celsius (32° and 113° Fahrenheit) 
and not exceed 95 percent maximum humidity (non-
condensing) at any time.

Be sure to allow adequate room for proper air 
ventilation and access at the front, back, and sides of 
the switch. No clearance is necessary at the top or 
bottom of the chassis. Refer to 

clearance requirements.

OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches have the following general 
electrical requirements:

Each switch requires one grounded AC power source.

Grounded AC power source must be 110V for North 
American installations (220V international). 

Each supplied AC power cord is approximately 2 
meters (6.5 feet) long. Do not use extension cords.

The following notes and warnings apply to all NEBS 
compliant platforms.

Grounding requirements: To ground the equipment prop-
erly, connect a Panduit Corporation UL listed Lug, P/N: 
LCD8-10AL to the two threaded holes located on the rear of 
each chassis and power supply module. All connections should 
be made using 8AWG copper conductors.

Use Panduit Corporation, P/N: CT-940CH for crimping. (Each 
Module must have its own grounding conductor.)

(GR-1089 requires treatment of ground connections and 
painted surfaces as needed during installation.)
