For safe switch installation and operation, it is 
recommended that you:
• Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and 
adequate ventilation around the switch.
• Do not place heavy objects on the switch
Desktop or Shelf Installation
When  installing  the  switch  on  a  desktop  or  shelf,  the 
rubber  feet  included  with  the  device  must  be  attached 
on the bottom at each corner of the device’s base. Allow 
enough  ventilation  space  between  the  device  and  the 
objects around it.
Wall Mount Installation
The switch can also be mounted on a wall. Two mounting
slots are provided on the bottom of the switch for this
purpose.
• Mounting on a concrete wall

2. Drive the included screws into the nylon screw anchors.
3. Hook the switch with the mounting holes on the bottom
onto the screws.
• Mounting on a wooden wall
1.  Drive the included screws into the wooden wall.
2. Hook the switch with the mounting holes on the bottom
onto the screws.
 
Step 3. Power Connection 
Connect the power adapter to the power input on the rear
panel of the DGS-1100-08V2. Plug the other end of the
power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.
Grounding the Switch
This step must be completed before powering on 
the switch.
Required tools and equipment for grounding
•  Grounding screw (included) and one M4x6 
(metric) pan-head screw (not included).
•  Grounding cable (not included). The grounding 
cable should be sized according to local and 
national installation requirements. Depending 
on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG 
copper conductor is required for installation. 
Commercially available 6 AWG wire is 
recommended. The length of the cable depends 
on the proximity of the switch to proper 
grounding facilities.
•  A screwdriver (not included).
1. Verify that the system is powered off
2.  Remove the grounding screw from the back of 
the device and place the #8 terminal lug ring of 
the grounding cable on top of the grounding 
screw opening.
3.  Insert the grounding screw back into the screw 
opening and use a screwdriver to tighten the 
grounding screw.
4.  Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end 
of the grounding cable to an appropriate 
grounding source.
5.  Verify that the connection between the 
grounding connector on the switch and the 
grounding source is secure.
