4Network In
Connect a network cable with an RJ-45 jack. The alarm box is capable of connecting to networks via an Ethernet
connector and also receives PoE power from the network cable.
5DC Out
Connect this to low power devices such as sensors.
DC out cannot connect more than 12V/300mA and 5V/400mA power.
6Power In
Power can be input separately if PoE power is not supported. Use either 12VDC or 24VAC power supply. Connect
the two wires of the power adapter to the terminal block (2 pin) provided with the alarm box. If DC12V is used,
separate the + and - (GND) wires.
Booting will commence once connected to a power supply.
Connect the wire or cable to the terminal blocks supplied with the alarm box and then connect it to the corresponding
terminal block on the product.
•Ground the power port’s ground terminal before use.
•Organize the power cable so that it will not cause people to trip over or become damaged from chairs, cabinets, desks, and
other objects in the vicinity. Do not run the power cable underneath a rug or carpet.
•Do not connect multiple devices to a single power outlet.
