Opening the Housing
Tools required: Phillips head screwdriver
To open the housing, loosen the two cover screws while supporting the cover so it does
not fall. (The cover screws are retained in the housing.) Carefully remove the visual
indicator cable to allow the cover to be removed.
Wiring the Network and Power Connections
PoE model (See Figure 2)
To wire the PoE models, connect the Ethernet field wiring to J1 on the PoE board to
provide both the IP communications and the PoE from the switch.
The Informer15 Speaker has an eight-pin Ethernet port for connecting to the network.
Ethernet wire runs must be less than 328 feet (100 meters) from the nearest network
switch. Do not install in a conduit carrying high voltage. The wired Ethernet port auto-
negotiates a 10/100, full or half-duplex connection and provides PoE to the Informer15
Speaker. Do not remove the prewired Ethernet cable between the PoE supply PCB J2 and
the controller PCB. The Ethernet field wiring must be connected to the J1 Ethernet input.
