AeroScout EX5100 Exciter
Chaining Exciters 12
Direct Power Supply
Directly connect a 48VDC power source to the Exciter’s power jack (connector 2 in
Error! Reference source not found.).
Note
An Exciter requires approximately 10W of power. When connecting an
Exciter to a direct power source with one of the above voltage levels,
verify that the current level is sufficient.
When using a direct power source for chained Exciters, you can drive
power to no more than three Exciters sequentially even if the source
power is sufficient for more.
Unit shall be powered only by limited power source (marked LPS or NEC
class 2) power supply.
PoE Switch
If your network has a Power-over-Ethernet infrastructure, you can connect a CAT-5
Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the Exciter’s LAN connector (connector 1 in
Error! Reference source not found.). This supplies both the power and the network
connection.
Note
PoE standard 802.3af class 0 allows power for not more than one
Exciter. When using PoE with chained Exciters, a PoE connection must
be made to every single Exciter in the chain. In addition, the LAN
connectivity that the PoE supplies will not be utilized for slave Exciters
in a chain.
110/220 VAC to 48VDC PoE Single-Port Injector
The PoE Single Port Injector converts 110/220VAC to 48VDC. In addition, it can
receive a network connection and enable the installer to run a single cable to the
Exciter’s LAN connector, thus supplying both power and network connectivity.
