1.3 Connection in applications
Power lines: An outdoor system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines, electrical lights, or power
circuits, or where it may contact such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outdoor system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching power lines or circuits, as this
contact may be fatal.
U.S.A. models only - refer to the National Electrical Code Article
820 regarding installation of CATV systems.
12 VDC / 24 VAC power source: This unit is intended to
operate with a limited power source. The unit is intended to
operate at either 12 VDC or 24 VAC (if PoE is not available).
User supplied wiring must be in compliance with electrical
codes (Class 2 power levels). If 24 VAC is used, do not ground
the 24 VAC supply at the terminals or at the unit's power supply
terminals.
PoE: Use only approved PoE devices. Power-over-Ethernet can
be connected at the same time as a 12 VDC or 24 VAC power
supply.
Earth connection: The unit must be connected to earth.
Connection: The unit has connection terminals on flying leads.
In wet or outdoor installations make use of a field wiring box
and cable conduit with Nema3 or IP55 protection level or
better. Make the connections inside the water tight
compartment. After connections are made ensure that the
watertight compartment is tightly closed and cables and
conduits are properly sealed to prevent ingress of water.
CAUTION!
The Low Voltage power supply unit must comply with EN/UL
60950. The power supply must be a SELV-LPS unit or a SELV -
Class 2 unit (Safety Extra Low Voltage - Limited Power Source).
