Upper Panel
The upper panel of the BSP-360 consists of one terminal block connector with PV and battery power inputs.

The input voltage range of each interface is shown as follows:

PV In Connector
24~45V DC

Battery In/Out
24V DC

The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range from 16 to 20 AWG.

Fault Alarm Connectors
The fault alarm contacts are in the middle (3 & 4) of the terminal block connector as the picture shows below. Inserting the wires, the Renewable Energy Switch will detect the fault status of the power failure.

• When the system is “ON”, the fault alarm is “off”.
• When the system is “OFF”, the fault alarm will “trigger”.

Hardware Installation

The following section describes the hardware installation of the BSP-360. Before connecting any network device to the BSP-360, read this chapter carefully.

Please follow the following steps to install the system:

Step 1. Installing BSP-360
Place the BSP-360 in a desired location using the wall-mount or Din-rail fixtures.

• Please install the BSP-360 in a proper enclosure or shelter.
• The BSP-360 must be grounded.

Step 2. Installing battery

1. Connect the negative electrode of the battery to the terminal for the nega-tive electrode of the battery on the BSP-360. By default, the lithium battery is in use.
2. Connect the positive electrode of the battery to the terminal for the positive electrode of the battery on the BSP-360.
3. After the battery is well connected to the BSP-360, the PWR LED will be ON and System LED will slowly blink, and Alarm LED will slowly blink.

The BSP-360 accepts the 24V DC battery system. Please pay attention to the battery characteristics and also refer to the section — Recommended Settings for Different Batteries in the Quick Installation Guide.

• Be noted for the thickness of electric wire and please refer to the section — Recommended Use of the Connected Wires in the Quick Installation Guide.
• Before the first installation
  • The lead-acid battery default LVD (Low Voltage Disconnec-tion) is set at 22.2V DC; we suggest charging the voltage of battery to 23.5V DC or above for the BSP-360.
  • The lithium battery default LVD (Low Voltage Disconnec-tion) is set at 21.3V DC; we suggest charging the voltage of battery to 24V DC or above for the BSP-360.
• Check the total power consumption of your connected network device before installation. Improper battery capacity could shorten the battery life or make your network device lack of power supply.
• Please link to PLANET Download Center and download BSP360-PV&BAT_calculation. The calculation list can help you to select solar panel and battery. Refer to Section 6 for customer support.

Step 3. Installing PV Panel

1. Connect the negative electrode of the PV panel to the terminal for the negative electrode of the PV panel on the BSP-360.
2. Connect the positive electrode of the PV panel to the terminal for the posi-tive electrode of the PV panel on the BSP-360.
3. After the PV is well connected to the BSP-360 and providing 24V or above voltage, the System LED will blink fast for battery charge if the battery is not full.

• Be noted for the thickness of electric wire and please refer to the section — Recommended Use of the Connected Wires in the Quick Installation Guide.
• Check the total power consumption of your device and the sunshine duration of your area from the weather bureau for a proper PV. Improper PV could shorten the battery life or provide insufficient power to the BSP-360.
  • The BSP-360 supports a maximum of 45V 8.8A DC input.

Step 4. Connecting 802.3af/802.3at PoE Device

1. Connect the PoE devices to ports 1~4 on the BSP-360.
2. Check the PoE-in-Use LED. If the network devices such as PoE camera and PoE wireless AP are powered, the PoE-in-use LED will turn ON and Link/Act LED will blink for a successful connection or data receiving.
   • Please use Cat5/5e or above cable and the maximum distance should within 100 meters.
   • If the Network devices are installed outdoors, please consider to install a well-grounded lightning arrestor (such as PLANET ELA-100) to protect the network device and the BSP-360.

Step 5. Wiring the DC Outputs
Please follow the steps below to insert the power wires for DC power required equipment.

1. Please find the terminal block connector with two DC power outputs shown below:
2. Insert the Positive and Negative DC wires into the V+ and V- terminals, respectively; Terminals 1 and 3 for Power 1, and Terminals 2 and 4 for Power 2.
3. Connect the other points of DC power wires to the power devices. Tighten the wire-clamp screws for preventing the wires from loosening.
4. Install the terminal block on the BSP-360.
   • The voltage of DC out is based on the battery voltage and the maximum DC out from the BSP-360 is 24VDC, 2A.
   • The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range from 16 to 20 AWG.
   • The external device should also be grounded properly.

Please ensure the output voltage is correct for remote device. Otherwise, it will damage your remote device.

Step 6. Connecting to PC or your remote Ethernet network.

After completing the above 6 steps, the BSP-360 is ready for service.

Web Management

• The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the BSP-360. Note the BSP-360 is configured through an Ethernet connection. Please make sure the manager PC must be set to the same IP subnet address.
• For example, the default IP address of the BSP-360 is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Logging in to the BSP-360

• Step 1. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 or above for Web browser and enter IP address http://192.168.0.100 (the factory-default IP address) to access the Web interface.
• Step 2. When the following dialog box appears, please enter the default user name “admin” and password “admin” (or the password you have changed before).
  • Default IP Address: 192.168.0.100
  • Default User Name: admin
  • Default Password: admin
• Step 3. After entering the password, the main screen appears. The above banner shows the information of Green Power, Total Power Usage, PoE Usage and Battery Capacity.
• Step 4. The Function Menu on the left of the Web page lets you access all the functions and status the BSP-360 provides.

Now, you can use the Web management interface to continue the BSP-360 management. Please refer to the user manual for more details.

• For security reason, please change and memorize the new pass-word after this first setup.

Deployed Devices Monitored via NMS-360 Controller

[OPTIONAL] Deployed Devices Monitored via NMS-360 Controller
If you also have an NMS-360 controller, please refer to the following steps to set up the central management.

The NMS-360 is used to centrally manage a large number of BSP-360. Therefore, you need to upgrade the BSP-360 firmware before using NMS-360. Please download and use the latest BSP-360 firmware from the website so that setting can be completed smoothly. The NMS-360 incorporated in a workstation can monitor the BSP-360s compliant with the MQTT Protocol, SNMP Protocol, ONVIF Protocol and PLANET Smart Discovery utility. Follow the steps below to set up the NMS-360 and BSP-360 accordingly.

• Step 1. Connect the devices, NMS-360 Controller and your computer to the same network.
• Step 2. BSP-360: Log in to the BSP-360 Web User Interface and enable both the SNMP and NMS controller functions.

If you want to use central management, and ONVIF monitoring functions, please refer to the user manual or NMS-360 series related profile.
