by the equipment may be impaired.
WARNING: Do not perform any services on the unit unless qualified to do so. Do not substitute
unauthorized parts or make unauthorized modifications to the unit.
WARNING: Do not operate the unit with the end plates removed, as this could create a shock or fire
hazard.
WARNING: Properly ground the unit before connecting anything else to the unit. Units not properly grounded
may result in a safety risk and could be hazardous and may void the warranty. See the grounding technique
section of this user manual for proper ways to ground the unit.
WARNING: Do not operate the equipment in a manner not specified by this manual.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY WARNINGS

Functional Overview
The 100-POE4 industrial 4-port Mid-Span POE PSE is designed to provide power over Ethernet for POE
capable devices where running a power line is either not possible or not cost effective. This feature allows
an end user to power a POE camera, wireless access point, or any other POE capable device without the
need for running separate wires for power. This also allows the ability for a centralized battery backup for
all these devices.
Key Features
Compact, space saving package
IEEE 802.3af Compliant
Four 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 Ports (DATA IN)
Four 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 POE Ports (DATA & POWER OUT)
Unmanaged operation
Extended Environmental Specifications
-40°C to 85°C Operating and Storage Temperature
Operating Humidity: 10% to 90% (Non Condensing)
Full Wire Speed Communications
LED POE Status Indication
Power Fault Status LEDs
Up to 0.8 Gb/s Maximum Throughput
Industry Standard 35mm DIN Rail Mounted Enclosure
Redundant power inputs (46-49 VDC)
Supports up to 15.4Watts per channel (13 Watts at the Powered Device (PD ))
Hardened metal DIN Rail Enclosure

DIN-Rail Mounting
Install the unit in a standard DIN rail. Recess the unit to allow at least 2” of horizontal clearance for CAT5e
cable bend radius.
To install the unit to 35mm industrial DIN rail,
place the top edge of the included mounting
bracket on the back of the unit against the DIN
rail at a 15° angle as shown. Rotate the bottom of
the unit to the back (away from you) until it
snaps into place.
To remove the unit from the 35mm industrial
DIN rail, place a flat head screwdriver into the
release clip found at the bottom of the unit, and
apply downward force on the clip until it
disengages from the bottom of the unit from the
DIN rail. Rotate the bottom of the unit towards
you and up at an approximate 15° upward angle
to completely remove the unit.
Most N-Tron™ products are
designed to be mounted on industry
standard 35mm DIN rail. However,
DIN rail mounting may not be
suitable for all applications. Our
Universal Rack Mount Kit (P/N:
URMK) may be used to mount the
100-POE4 enclosures to standard 19"
racks as an option.

FRONT PANEL
From Top to Bottom:
Power LED
V1 POE POE is being applied on the respective port with V1 as a valid source of power.
V2 POE is being applied on the respective port with V2 as a valid source of power.
LEDs: The table below describes the operating modes (Port LEDs are for power supply status only and
do NOT indicate link or activity):
Note: Redundant power inputs will not balance the power load. Only load from one power supply is used
at a time.

APPLYING POWER (Top View)
Unscrew & Remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from the top header.
Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug (observing polarity on unit).
Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the top header.
Tightening torque for the terminal block power plug is 0.22 Nm/0.162 Pound Foot.
Turn the power on the wire.
Note: It is only safe to turn the power on the wires after the wires have been secured to the
100-POE4.
WARNING: Inserting the input plug while the 48VDC is applied may cause arcing, and damage
the input connector permanently.
Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN).
Note: Either V1or V2can be connected to power for minimal operation. For redundant power
operation, V1and V2plugs must be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. Use wire sizes of 20-10
gauge. The power cord should be limited to less than 10 meters in order to ensure optimum
performance.
Recommended 48V DC Power Supplies, similar to:
100-240VAC:
N-Tron NTPS-48-5, DC 48V/5A or N-Tron NTPS-48-2, DC 48V/2A
