1. Connect an Ethernet Cable from the Source Network Device (i.e., router, modem,
or non-PoE switch) to the Data Port(s) on the PoE Injector.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Corresponding PoE++ Port(s) on the PoE
Injector.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet Cable used in Step 2 to either a Powered
Device (PD), or to a PoE Splitter to separate Data and Power.
4. Plug the included Power Adapter to an AC Outlet and connect it into the DC
Power Port. Ensure the Power LED is illuminated.
DIN Rail Installation
1. Insert a Mounting Screw through the Mounting Plate and into the PoE Injector.
Using a Phillips Head Screwdriver, tighten the Mounting Screw just enough to
catch the thread. (Figure 1)
2. Re-align the Mounting Plate with the Mounting Holes and insert the second
Mounting Screw. Alternate between gently driving each Mounting Screw until
both are tight.
3. Select the desired PoE Operation Mode before mounting onto the DIN Rail.
4. Mount the PoE Injector by inserting the Mounting Plate at an angle starting from
the Top then Push against the DIN Rail. (Figure 2)

Installation
Warnings!
Force Mode: Prior to connecting the PSE to a PD, ensure the PD supports 60W PoE
through pin 1/2 ( - ), 3/6 ( +), pin 4/5 ( +), and 7/8 ( - ). Otherwise, the PD may be
damaged as power is injected without handshaking.
Prior to powering on the PSE, ensure that a Grounding Wire is connected to the PSE. A
Grounding Wire should typically be green or green with a yellow stripe and should be at
least 18 AWG.
Prior to connecting the PSE to a PD ensure that the PD supports the corresponding PoE
setting on the PoE Operation Mode Switch to prevent potential damage.
Power OFF the PoE Injector before adjusting the PoE Operation Mode Switch, and then
power it back ON.
The legacy detection feature identies the PDs that do not fully follow the
IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards and their unique electrical handshakes. This allows the
PoE Injector to provide power to those PDs.
