10 Terminating Power and Data Cabling Inside the Back Box
Power and data cabling must be routed to the right side (wall-side) of the back
box. Cut all cables with sufficient slack to reach the connector terminals in the
back box but not long enough to be pinched or obstruct the arm installation.
1. Connecting Power:
The IQeye Sentinel can be powered via Ethernet using an IEEE 802.3af power
source, or powered directly.
- Powered via PoE: Input from conforming IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
power injector or switch.
- Powered Directly: Input voltage is 12-24V DC or 24V AC. IQeye Sentinel camera/
housing modules include built-in bridge rectifier circuitry, so power wiring polarity
can be installed with the + or - on either terminal without risk of damaging the camera
or affecting performance.
NOTE: Using a power source with specifications other than those defined herein may result in errant
functionality or damage to the camera, and will void the product warranty.
2. Connecting Data (Ethernet) Cable:
Route and connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connections (RJ-45 - Figure 6
or Punch Terminal - Figure 7) labeled wall-side in the back box.
The two most common schemes for wiring CAT5 cables are 568A & 568B. The
568B wiring scheme is widely used in the US, and for off the shelf CAT5 cables.
New installations should use the 568A CAT5 wiring scheme. It is important that the
standard selected matches the building wiring.
