Veracity CAMSWITCH QUAD VCS-CSQ User manual

Where to use CAMSWITCH QUAD
CAMSWITCH QUAD is a network switch designed especially for
security and I video network installations.
CAMSWITCH QUAD integrates the following features into a
single, compact device:
–10/100 unmanaged network switch
–Four auto-configuring network ports with ower Over
Ethernet ( OE)
–Fifth auto-configuring port for “downlink” connection
–Safe OE power management
–Unique, auto-configuring DC or AC power input
–Rugged, wall-mountable enclosure
In the example shown above, CAMSWITCH QUAD provides all
four remote cameras with both their OE power supply and an
Ethernet connection. ower for all cameras and the
CAMSWITCH QUAD is sourced from a single low voltage AC or
DC supply.

This devi e omplies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subje t to the following two onditions: (1)
this devi e may not ause harmful interferen e, and (2) this
devi e must a ept any interferen e re eived, in luding
interferen e that may ause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to omply with the limits
for a Class A digital devi e, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable prote tion against harmful
interferen e when the equipment is operated in a ommer ial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and an radiate radio frequen y energy
and, if not installed and used in a ordan e with the instru tion manual,
may ause harmful interferen e to radio ommuni ations. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to ause harmful interferen e in
whi h ase the user will be required to orre t the interferen e at his own
expense.

Installation
Mounting holes
CAMSWITCH QUAD is fitted with two repositionable mounting
lugs to allow the unit to be secured to a wall. The
recommended mounting hole locations are shown above.
The enclosed rubber feet may be fitted if the unit is to be
located on a shelf.
Earth connection
The case should be connected to earth before any data or
power cables are connected.
The earth connection can be made via the mounting lugs.
Power suppl connection
CAMSWITCH QUAD has a detatchable screw terminal connector
and will automatically configure for DC or AC supplies in the
range 10 to 40V (DC) or 20 to 28V (AC).
A Class II isolated power supply with the “double
insulated” logo (shown right) should be used.
The power supply used should be rated at 40 Watts or greater
to guarantee power availablility for all combinations of
connected devices.
art no VQ-24V-xx (xx=country code) is a 24V DC power supply
and is recommended for use with CAMSWITCH QUAD.
The Green LED on network port 5 will light when power is
connected.
Long power cables
If the CAMSWITCH QUAD is to be located remotely from its
power supply, care should be taken to select the right cable.
Veracity can provide a spreadsheet tool for calculating the
required cable guage for given distances and loads.
Thermal considerations for high loads
CAMSWITCH QUAD can become hot in operation and adequate
space should be provided around the unit for ventilation.
Heating increases with higher loads from OE devices, and also
with lower supply voltage.
A 24 Volt supply such as VQ-24V-xx will give best performance
and should be used when the total OE load is greater than 20
Watts or when the ambient temperature exceeds 35°C (95°F).
Ethernet connection
CAMSWITCH QUAD will automatically configure its network
ports for 10Base-T or 100Base-T, half or full-duplex operation,
and either patch or crossover cables may be used.
The yellow network connector LEDs indicate network connection
status per port as follows:
LED Pattern Ethernet status
Off No link
Flashing Link good, network activity
On Link good
POE Power Management
The green network connector LEDs on ports 1 to 4 indicate
ower Over Ethernet status per port as follows:
LED Pattern POE status
Off No OE requested
4 flashes / second OE disabled: port error
1 flash / second OE disabled: power budget exceeded
On OE enabled to port
If a port error is indicated, check the network cable for open
connections or short circuits, and ensure the OE equipment is
IEEE 802.3af compliant and functioning correctly.
If the power budget has been exceeded then there is not
enough power available to safely enable all connected OE
devices.
CAMSWITCH QUAD has an available power budget of 30 Watts,
which it can allocate to OE devices according to their ower
Class. OE devices can indicate their required power as follows:
Power Class Max Device Power (approx)
0 (unclassified) 15 Watts
1 4 Watts
2 7 Watts
3 15 Watts
For example, an I camera which draws 5 Watts will usually be
a Class 2 device, so it would “use” 7 Watts of the CAMSWITCH
QUAD's power budget when connected.
Some devices do not display a power class however, and must
be allocated the maximum 15 Watts, so only two such devices
could be enabled. The manufacturer's information for each OE
device should therefore be checked when planning an installation.
On power-up, CAMSWITCH QUAD will enable OE to ports 1,2,3
and 4 in that order, and thereafter as devices are connected.
Operating a CAMSWITCH QUAD with any OE devices disabled
is not recommended, as a different combination of devices may
be re-enabled following a power outage or device fault. If extra
budget is required, an alternative OE supply such as Veracity's
OUTSOURCE may be used to upgrade one or more ports.
