PoE-Injector Safety Information

Caution: The PoE injector is to be connected only to PoE networks without routing to the outside plant.

• C Power Cord:

• The power cord must have regulatory agency approval for the specific country in which it is used (for example, UL, CSA, VDE, GS, etc.).

• The power cord must be a three-conductor type (two current carrying conductors; one ground conductor terminated on one end by an IEC 60320 appliance coupler (for connection to the PoE-Injector), and on the other end by a plug containing a ground (earthing) contact).

• The power cord must be razed for a minimum of 250 VAC RMS operation, with a minimum rated current capacity of 5 A (or a minimum wire gauge of 18 AWG (0.75 mm2)).
  Injector installed in Australia requires power cords with minimum wire gauge of 16 AWG (1.0 mm2).

• The PoE-Injector “Data In” and “Data & Power Out” ports are shielded RJ45 data sockets. They cannot be used as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) telephone sockets. Connect RJ45 data connectors only to those sockets. The AC wall socket-outlet must be near the PoE-Injector and easily accessible. You can remove AC power from the PoE-Injector by disconnecting the AC power cord from either the wall socket-outlet or the PoE-Injector appliance coupler. The PoE-

• Injector “Data In” and “Data & Power Out” interfaces are qualified as Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) circuits according to IEC 62368-1.
  Connect these interfaces only to SELV interfaces on other equipment.

Warnings

• Connect the PoE-Injector only to the IP device with which it was bought. Using the PoE-Injector with other IP devices can cause damage to the IP device.
  Read the installation instructions before connecting the PoE-Injector to its power source. Follow basic electricity safety measures whenever connecting the PoE-Injector to its power source. A voltage mismatch can cause equipment

• damage and may pose a fire hazard. If the voltage indicated on the label is different from the power outlet voltage, do not connect the PoE-Injector to that power outlet.
