PoE Detection:
There is a switch on the VAR2-PoE-w8-1, i8-1 and i8-1-C illuminators which
can be used to change the PoE detection resistance of the illuminator
(24.9KΩ is the factory default setting).
The majority of PSE equipment requires a detection resistance of 24.9KΩ to
establish a PoE link. Some models of PSE equipment require12.5KΩ.
For 24.9 KΩ, slide switch to the LEFT (factory default – as shown). For 12.5 KΩ,
slide switch to the RIGHT.

accessory.
For Cat5 wiring –use T568-B wiring standard.
Premium Versions only:
Red = +ve, black = -ve
White & Yellow wires = Photocell following contact, Volt free output, Non polarity
sensitive
Orange and Purple Wires = Telemetry input Volt free / dry contact or TTL input
Lens Selection:
Select different beam angle –if required
VARIO is factory set and delivered with a 35˚ beam width angle.
To alter to 10˚, simply remove interchangeable lens (ILS).
To alter to 60˚, replace with other ILS lens supplied.
Other angle ILS lenses are available to order: 80˚ and 120˚.

The illuminator has two modes; (1) Programming Mode when the remote control
can be used and (2) Operating Mode when most of the remote control functions
are disabled (see Remote Control Instructions for more details)
Manual Buttons are always available in programming mode or if they have been
disabled, they can be enabled in programming mode.
Manual Buttons are available in operating mode, provided they have not already
been disabled.
The number of button pushes indicated above are based on the user starting with
the illuminator in either programming or operating mode.
If the user has already started to program the units, then the number of button
pushes on the left hand will take them to the next function as per the sequence in
the table.
If no buttons are pressed within 2 minutes then the illuminator will automatically
default back into the previous mode it was in –programming or operating mode.

LED Status Indicators:
Programming Mode and Operating Mode
On first power up (Factory Default) the illuminator automatically enters
Programming Mode. It will then time out automatically after 7 Days to Operating
Mode unless the user actively changes the lamp settings or uses the manual
buttons. The LED Indicators feedback the mode you are in. (They are also used for
PIN or Manual Button Control Modes –please see tables / FULL Instruction Manual)
During Programming Mode and Operating Mode the two LED’s indicate the
following status :
LHS SOLID GREEN: Power Applied
LHS FLASHING GREEN: Remote control IR received problem
RHS FLASHING AMBER: Indicates unit is in programming mode
(Programming Mode Only)
RHS SOLID AMBER: Indicates that a valid command is being received
(Programming Mode Only)
LHS FLASHING RED: Voltage supply problem detected
LHS SOLID RED: Illuminator LED fault detected
All functions of the remote control and buttons are available in Programming
Mode.
The only function of the Remote Control available during Operating Mode is LED
Status Indicators Enable/Disable, entering a PIN or disabling manual buttons (if
done at the same time as disabling the remote –see FULL Instruction Manual
RESET:
Settings Re-set : Pressing and holding the RESET BUTTON on the remote control
or using the manual buttons to complete a RESET will restore the factory settings
to the illuminator. Note : It will not remove a PIN if one is present.
Full Re-set : Re-cycling the power whilst pressing both manual buttons will
restore factory settings and remove a PIN if one is present.
Both indicator LEDs flash amber for both above re-sets when complete.

Ensure all tests are undertaken by a qualified, trained engineer. Ensure safe
working practices are followed at all times.
•Check rating of PoE power source is suitably rated or 24V dc (Premium only)
•Check PoE resistance detection switch is correctly rated
•Check LED status indicators for relevant information
•Check camera and illuminator alignment and angles
See FULL Instruction Guide for more details of toubleshooting
