Cascading chargers
You can cascade up to five CHG 70N-C chargers and operate them with a single power supply and a single network connection. This minimizes the cabling required for larger systems.
The power must be supplied via the NT 12-35 CS power supply unit. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not possible when cascading.
To cascade the chargers:
- Make sure that no chargers are connected to the power before you start.
-
Plug the chargers into each other as shown in the figure.
- Detach the connecting rail on the bottom of the charger.
-
Fasten the connecting rail beneath two chargers as shown in the figure.
The power and the network connection are passed on to all devices via the connecting rails.
- Connect the first charger in the cascade to the network (see Connecting a charger in a network).
-
Finally, connect the NT 12-35 CS power supply unit to the first charger in the cascade (see Connecting/disconnecting the charger to/from the power supply system).
