Installation and Operation
Introduction
Product Description
The BitStream BTS500 series of multi-port PoE switches
are designed to provide PoE power with battery backup to
802.3bt compatible IP devices such as access control pan-
els, IP surveillance cameras, IP phones, locks, IR illumina-
tors and other PoE compatible access control edge devices.
The BTS500 series products provide up to 90W of power
per port and are compliant with the IEEE 802.3bt standard.
The chart below shows the models in the BTS500 product
family.

BTS500-8R 8 port / 90W per port
500 Watts

Battery backup,
SFI Mode, 802.3bt
compatible
The BTS500 series is compatible with the BX50 PoE split-
ter with Single-point Fire Interface (SFI) and the BX75 with
local fire alarm disconnect. Single-point Fire Interface (SFI)
mode is a proprietary mode compatible with the BX50 PoE
splitter. SFI mode allows a single FACP connection at the
BTS500 switch to drop lock power on all connected BX50
splitters, eliminating the need for an FACP connection at each
door.
All models are fully network managed and are capable of
charging battery sets from 4 to 18 amphours utilizing an in-
ternal float charger for central battery backup without exces-
sive loading of the rack UPS.
Specifications
Input voltage range 90 – 265 VAC
Input frequency 47 – 63 Hz
Power Factor / Current THD > 0.9 / <10%
Total Output Power 500W
Max Power per Port 90W
Network Speed 10/100/1000
Battery Voltage 48V

BTS500 Installation Manual

Installation and Operation
Use the following procedure when mounting a BTS500 se-
ries switch into a standard EIA 19" equipment rack.
1. If not already, securely mount the included ears to the
front of the enclosure sides using the eight included
countersunk screws (four per ear).
2. Locate the rack-mounting holes in the ears of the en-
closure. (Figure 1)
3. Slide the enclosure into an open 1U location in the rack
4. Center the enclosure in the rack and secure with the
four 10-32 x 3/4" screws provided.
NOTE: Use rails or other appropriate support for heavy
enclosures. Keep heavier components near the bottom of
the rack to reduce the risk of toppling of a top-heavy rack.

Installation and Operation
1SFP Ports
Two high speed SPF ports are available, typically used for a
fiber connection.
2Ethernet Connections / PoE Outputs (1 - 8)
These ports provide the connections between the LAN and
the connected network devices while also supplying PoE
power. These ports accept standard RJ45 cables.
3Reset Button (Reset)
Pressing the recessed reset button with a pin for a length of
time will reset the BTS500 as follows:
10 Seconds User Name & Password Only
20 Seconds User Name, Password, and IP Settings
NOTE - The user name and password will both reset to "ad-
min". If pressed for 20 seconds, the IP address will reset to
192.168.1.9 and the other IP settings will return to default.
4Power Meters (Power 1-4 & Power 5-9)
These meters display voltage and current for the labaled
groups of ports. The left side meter provides power informa-
tion for ports 1-4, while the center meter provides informa-
tion for ports 5-9.
5Power Meters (Battery)
This meter displays voltage and current for the connected
battery set. If no battery set is connected, this meter will
show no values.
6AC Line Input (AC Power)
This is the connector for the AC line cord. Plug the included
computer-style line cord into this connector. Connect the
other end of the cord to the power strip inside the rack or an-
other suitable AC power receptacle. The BTS500 series has a
universal input and accepts 90-265VAC input.
7Main AC Power Switch / Circuit Breaker (On/Off)
This is the main AC power switch for the BTS500. This switch
lights when power is on and also has a built-in circuit breaker
rated at 15A. If the circuit breaker trips, reset it by cycling the
switch to off then back to on.
8External DC Voltage Input (External DC +/-)
This input may be used to either power the BTS500 via an
external 50VDC supply or to provide battery backup to the
BTS500. The “External DC” input is reverse polarity protected.
See below for details:
To Use Battery Backup
Connect AC power to the BTS500 unit as normal. In addition,
connect a 48V nominal battery set to the “External DC” con-
nector, using the battery cable supplied.
To Use an External 50Vdc Supply
Connect a 50V power supply to the “External DC” connector
at the rear. The ratings requirements for the DC power supply
are given below:
Input voltage range 44 –57 VDC
Max input current (500W model) 14.0 A
Max input current (250W model) 7.0 A
Note that if both AC and DC power sources are connected to
the unit at the same time, the AC source will supply the power
to the output ports. The external DC source will not supply the
outputs unless the AC source is missing or the power switch is
turned off.
9Fire Alarm Input (For BX50 SFI Mode)
This input accepts an input from a Fire Alarm Control Panel
(FACP) to activate SFI mode when used with BX50 PoE split-
ters. See section 1.3 for more information on the Fire Alarm
Input and SFI mode.
bk RS485 Connection (B, A, GND)
This connector provides an RS485 connection between the
BTS500 and any connected LSP accessory boards with an
RS485 connection, such as a Generation 2 M8 or M8P.
The following are basic descriptions. Refer to the appropriate section for more detailed information. Note that the front
panel may appear different based on the configuration of your system.

Installation and Operation
1.3 Using the Fire Alarm Input for SFI Mode
The BTS500-8R contains a Fire Alarm Input which can be
used to activate Single-point Fire Interface mode (SFI) when
used with LifeSafety Power's BX50 PoE splitters. SFI mode
allows a single FACP connection at the BTS500 to con-
trol the lock output of one or more BX50 splitters through
the ethernet cable without additional wiring between the
BTS500 and BX50, or to the door.
NOTE: Only the BX50 is compatible with SFI mode. Activat-
ing SFI on other devices will result in improper operation.
Wiring the Fire Alarm Input
The Fire Alarm Input of the BTS500 consists of 6 terminals
for flexibility in connection method. See Figure 4 below for
typical wiring diagrams. Connections are as follows:
• I+ & I- Terminals These terminals are the input termi-
nals for the FAI input. The FAI input is activated when
a voltage between 9 and 28VDC is present on these ter-
minals in the proper polarity.
• V+ & V- Terminals These terminals are a low-current
auxiliary voltage which can be used for activating the I+
and I- terminals
• L Terminals When a NC contact is placed across the L
terminals, the FAI input will latch when activated until
the NC contact is momentarily opened. If latching is not
needed, these terminals should be left disconnected.

Installation and Operation
2.1 Preparing to configure the BTS500
In order to perform the initial configuration of the BTS500,
you will need the following:
• A computer (PC or Mac) set to a static IP address in
the subnet 192.168.1.xxx, where xxx is a subnet ad-
dress (0 to 255) not being used by any other device
on the network. Do not use 192.168.1.9 or the final IP
address you will be using for the BTS500. (See Figure
5.)
• A CAT5 or higher Ethernet cable long enough to reach
between the computer and one of the BTS500's ether-
net ports.
• The BTS500 must be powered. After powering, wait
approximately 2 minutes for the BTS500 to initialize.
After the BTS500 is powered and initialized, connect the
ethernet cable between the ethernet port of the BTS500 and
computer.
2.2 Logging into PowerCom PoE for the first time
From the factory, the BTS500 is preset with the following set-
tings:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.9
• Username: admin
• Password: admin
Open a browser on the computer and enter "192.168.1.9"
into the address bar. The login screen will appear (See Fig-
ure 6). Enter "admin" for both the user name and password.
iIf the wrong password is entered three consecutive
times, the user will be locked out of the device for 24 hours.
Enter the password carefully to avoid lockout.
On first login, the BTS500 will require a password change.
Enter a new password and submit. The BTS500 Home Page
should appear (See Figure 7).

Figure 6: PowerCom PoE user login screen
Section 2 – Initial Configuration
The PowerCom PoE management interface allows users to configure, monitor, and control each output port of the BTS500
series switch. PowerCom PoE is an embedded web browser based interface and does not require the installation of any dedi-
cated software on the user's PC. Any device with a network connection and a web browser may be used to access PowerCom
PoE.
