How to Install the ISONAS PureIP 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 PureIP RCs can be powered with 12 volts DC or PoE (IEEE 802.3af) power and the supply
must be regulated. Many brands of power sources work well with ISONAS equipment.
2.1.1: POWER OVER ETHERNET (PoE) OPTION
If you are installing ISONAS PureIP RCs, 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 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 close
to your existing network hub/switch, and the PoE
Injector itself is plugged directly into a standard AC
outlet, or for extra reliability, a UPS with battery
backup.
Figure 3 is an overview of how to use PoE to
power both the ISONAS PureIP RC and an
electronic locking mechanism.
