How to Install the ISONAS IP-Enabled Reader-controller 11
2: WIRING AT THE DOOR AND READER-CONTROLLER
2.1: POWERING THE READER-CONTROLLERS
All ISONAS Reader-controller models require a direct connection to a power source.
The PowerNet reader-controllers can be powered with 12 volts DC, 24 volts DC, or
PoE (IEEE 802.3af) power and the supply must be regulated. Many brands of
power sources work well with ISONAS equipment. For the PowerNet reader-
controller, the desired input power selection is made thru the use of the jumper pins.
See previous section (1.4) for the description of the usage of these jumper pins.
2.1.1: POWER OVER ETHERNET (PoE) OPTION
If you are installing ISONAS PowerNet readers, then you can use the Power Over
Ethernet (PoE) option. PoE allows
one cable to supply data and power
to both the Reader-controller and an
Electronic lock. The obvious savings
here is that you only need to run a
single CAT5 cable to the door which
will provide enough power to run
both the ISONAS Reader-controller
and an electronic lock. If you are
not familiar with PoE, please take a
moment to read the PoE document
located on the ISONAS web site.
If your network switch is equipped
to provide PoE power, then the
separate PoE Injector is not
required.
If used, the PoE Injector is normally
located right next to your existing
network hub/switch, and the
Injector itself is plugged directly into
a standard AC outlet, or for extra
security, a UPS battery backup.
Figure 3 is an overview of how to
use PoE to power both the ISONAS
PowerNet Reader-controller and an
electronic locking mechanism.
