Installation and Service
ALL INSTALLATION AND SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or
included in the manual
CAUTION: Ensure that the power source is NOT powered when connecting it
to the SEPOE10xx-150 series media converter. Failure to observe this caution
could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the SEPOE10xx-150.
Required Grounding
Proper earthing (grounding) of the SEPOE10xx-150 is required. A grounding
terminal is provided on the SEPOE10xx-150 for proper grounding of the device
as per customer installation requirements and local electrical codes.
The DC-powered, SEPOE10xx-150 series media converter is intended to be used
in a restricted access location. It is recommended that the 18-72 VDC source is
to be reliably connected to earth (ground). Equipment grounding is vital to
ensure safe operation.
Prior to installation, use a voltmeter/ohmmeter to check the wiring for the
presence of earth ground.
Required Disconnect
A readily accessible disconnect device as part of the building installation shall be
incorporated into the fixed wiring for the SEPOE10xx-150 series media
converter. The disconnect device (a -48 VDC, 15 or 20A circuit breaker or
switch) must be included in the ungrounded supply conductor. Overcurrent
protection must be a -48 VDC, 15 or 20A fuse or circuit breaker.

Supplying Power to the SEPOE10xx-150
The SEPOE10xx-150 features under voltage lockout, which disables operation
and eliminates excessive power draw from the 48 volt external power source if
the source falls below approximately 44 VDC.
CAUTION: The power source MUST BE
POWERED OFF when connecting it to the
SEPOE10xx-150. Failure to observe this
caution could result in damage to, and
subsequent failure of, the power supply and
any attached device.
1. Ensure that external power source is
powered OFF.
2. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the power supply to the positive
terminal on the SEPOE10xx-150 (marked with a “1”).
3. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to the negative
terminal on the SEPOE10xx-150 (marked with a “3”).
4. Connect the ground terminal of the power supply (or an appropriate
‘earthing’ ground locaton) to the ground terminal on the SEPOE10xx-150
(marked with a “4”).
5. Turn on the power to the external power source.
6. Verify that the SEPOE10xx-150 is powered by observing the illuminated
power LED.
Disconnecting Power to the SEPOE10xx-150
CAUTION: The power source MUST BE POWERED OFF when disconnecting
it from the SEPOE10xx-150. Failure to observe this caution could result in
damage to, and subsequent failure of, the power supply and any attached
device.
1. Ensure that external power source is powered OFF.
2. Disconnect the positive (+) terminal of the power supply from the positive
terminal on the SEPOE10xx-150 (marked with a “1”).
3. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply from the
negative terminal on the SEPOE10xx-150 (marked with a “3”).
4. Disconnect the ground terminal of the power supply (or the ‘earth’
ground) from the ground terminal on the SEPOE10xx-150 (marked with a
“4”).

Replacing Power Supply Module Fuse
Catastrophic fault protection is provided by an internal 2 Amp fuse.
CAUTION: Failure to observe the following cautions could result in damage
to, and subsequent failure of, the SEPOE10xx-150 media converter, the
external power supply, and any attached device.
• Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions
when replacing the fuse in this device.
• Replace the fuse only with the same size and rating.
• Ensure that the power source is NOT powered when disconnecting power
from, or connecting power to, this device.
To replace the fuse in the SEPOE10xx-150:
1. Ensure that the external power source is not powered.
2. Disconnect the SEPOE10xx-150 from the external power source (see
page 5).
3. Remove and retain the screws that secure the cover to the SEPOE10xx-
150. Remove and retain the cover to the device.
4. Carefully remove the fuse from the fuse holder.
5. Install the same size and rating replacement fuse in the fuse holder.
6. Replace the cover to the SEPOE10xx-150 and install the screws.
7. Reconnect the SEPOE10xx-150 to the external power source (see page 4).

Operation
LED Indicators
After installation, the media converter should function without operator
intervention. Use the status LEDs to monitor media converter operation in the
network.
MDI Fault On (for 5-10 seconds) = the POE sources exceed approximately
0.4 A* of current on the MDI interface.
MDI ON On = the current to the MDI that is greater than approximately 10
mA or less than approximately 0.4 A*. Power to the MDI is
removed if the current is outside this range.
(*Including the in-rush current required to charge the PD (Powered
Device) load capacitance.)
POWER On = the input voltage is above approximately 44 VDC.
TP Link On = a link from the twisted-pair copper connection to the
Powered Device (PD).
Fiber Link On = a link from the fiber connection to the other media converter
or remote hub.
TP Act Flashing = activity on the Powered Device (PD).
Fiber Act Flashing = activity on the other media converter or remote hub.

Operation -- Continued
MDI Power
MDI power can be activated using the MDI PWR
switch on the front panel (see page 6).
MDI (Media Dependent Interface) power is
provided on the spare pins of the RJ-45 connector
as described by the IEEE802.3af™ standard (pin
numbers 4, 5, 7, and 8). The SEPOE10xx-150
power delivery capacity is approximately 0.25 A
at 48 VDC.
The SEPOE10xx-150 has a current sensing feature. If the load presented to the
MDI is less than approximately 10 mA or greater than approximately 0.4 A*,
MDI power is removed from the interface.
MDI power insertion is initiated when the impedance of the MDI power interface
falls below approximately 300 K ohms. MDI power is applied for approximately
1.1 seconds. If the current load does not remain above approximately 10 mA
within this time (or if the current load is above approximately 0.4 A* within this
time) the power is removed from the MDI. An over current condition of 0.4 A*
will illuminate the MDI Fault LED for a period of 5-10 seconds before the
SEPOE10xx-150 reapplies MDI power. The reapplication of MDI power requires
the impedance of the MDI power interface to be below approx. 300 K ohms.
(*Including the in-rush current required to charge the PD (Powered Device) load
capacitance.)

Link Pass-Through
The Link Pass-Through feature (see page 6) allows the media converter to
monitor both the fiber and copper RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In the
event of a loss of an RX signal on one media port, the media converter will
automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal of the other media port, thus,
“passing through” the link loss.
