Power
The Open Area sensor can be powered by either a 802.3af PoE switch or a PoE Injector Wall Plug
Cable requirements
The sensor requires a Cat5e or later ethernet cable (not included). Flat white cable recommended for optimal aesthetics.
Option 1 – PoE Switch
Connect one end of a Cat 5e or later ethernet cable to a 802.3af compliant network switch capable of providing 16W per port. Plug the other end of the ethernet cable into the Open Area sensor.
Option 2 – PoE Injector Using WiFi
Plug the PoEInjector into any standard 120v (US) wall outlet. Plug one end of a Cat 5e or later ethernet cable into the Data and Power Out port located on the bottom of the injector. Plug the other end of the ethernet cable into the sensor. Use the Unit Setup App to connect the sensor to a WiFi network.
Option 3 – PoE Injector Using Ethernet
Plug the PoE Injector into any standard 120v (US) wall outlet. Plug one end of a Cat 5e or later ethernet cable into a cradlepoint / router or non-PoE switch. Plug the other end of the cable into the Data In port located on the bottom of the Injector. Plug an additional ethernet cable into the Data and Power Out port also located on the bottom of the injector. Plug the other end of the ethernet cable into the sensor.
