Regulatory Compliance Statements
This section provides the FCC compliance statement for Class B devices and
describes how to keep the system CE compliant.
Declaration of Conformity
FCC
This equipment has been tested and verified to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
(domestic environment) is likely to cause harmful interference, in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference (take adequate
measures) at their own expense.
CE

Safety Information
Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:
▪Read all instructions carefully.
▪Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
▪Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.
▪When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts
specified by the manufacturer.
▪Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating
device.
▪The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the
rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly
necessary in order to provide balance stability.
Installation Recommendations
Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get
into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small
components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally
damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow
require only a few simple tools, including the following:
• A Philips screwdriver
• A flat-tipped screwdriver
• A grounding strap
• An anti-static pad
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended
that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect connections as these
can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

Chapter 1: Product Introduction
Overview
VES30-8S and VES30-4S are mobile PoE switches with fanless enclosure
designed for telematics applications in harsh environments. The VES30-8S
and VES30-4S feature 9 and 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports respectively, including
up to 8 and 4 IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE ports to transfer large amounts
of video streams, voice and critical data across Ethernet networks smoothly
and quickly.
With PoE support, the PoE switches can power PoE-enabled IP camera
without the need for additional power lines, simplifying device integration
for surveillance applications in transportation. The mobile PoE switches also
support wide operating temperatures of -30°C to 70°C, wide voltage input
range of 9VDC to 36VDC and provide smart power management with low
battery voltage protection, power-on and power-off delay timer, and auto
ignition power on/off functions. These unique features can secure reliable
operation and prevent premature failure of both the PoE switches and
vehicle.
Key Features
• 1+ 4/8x 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE port (802.3af compliance)
• 15.4W at 48VDC for each PoE port
• Low battery voltage protection
• CE/FCC, E13 mark certification
• Wide power input range 9~36VDC
• -30 ~ 70°C operating temperature
• Ignition power On/Off support
