will continue flashing for a short time after the signal is turned off. This indicates the internal memory files are being deleted. If the
power is turned off while the LEDs are flashing, the internal memory files may be damaged and the product may no longer be able
to start properly. Always restart the product after the LEDs stop flashing.

- For PoE wire route only in the same building
Power Supply

Using the DC JACK

The power plug to be used must conform to EIAJ voltage classification 2.
CAUTION
When supplying power via the LAN connector, do not use a combination of power
supplied from the power connector and the AC adapter.

Using the Power connector

The power connector in Figure 1 can be used to
supply power from an external source. Use the
following power cable or its equivalent.
CAUTION
When supplying power from the power connector,
do not use a combination of power supplied via the
LAN connector and the AC adapter.
When supplying the LAN cable power
CAUTION
- Create the power cable correctly as specified. Using the power cable with the
housing pins assigned wrong numbers may result in device faults or accidents.
- The input voltage range of this product is from 5 to 24 VDC ±5%. Supply
power outside that range may result in device faults or accidents.
- Use the power supply whose supply voltage rises to at least 4.75VDC within the
input voltage range within 10ms. Using a power supply which does not satisfy
this condition may result in device faults or accidents.
- Input voltage range: 5 to 30 VDC ± 5%. Use a power supply that rises to 4.75
VDC or higher in the input voltage range within 10 ms. There is a risk of
damage to the device or accident if a power supply outside this range is used.

Installation

Read and understand the following precautions before installation :
- Leaving a metal object in the vicinity of 30mm from the antenna board affects the antenna characteristics.
Do not place metal objects near the antenna as possible.
- This product has a protrusion of up to 14mm on the front surface and a protrusion of up to 3mm on the rear surface. Allow
clearance around this product and use it within the range of ambient temperatures satisfying the environment conditions for
installation.
- Figure 2 shows the locations the mounting holes for installing this product and external dimensions.
- Use M3 screws for the mounting holes (φ2.3 mm).
- The lower right mounting hole is the FGND (grounding) hole. Connect it to FGND (ground).
* 1 Always reboot the product after the flashing stops. The flashing continues for a little while after the product is switched off during
initialization by switching on and off the INIT switch. This indicates internal memory files are being deleted. The internal
memory files may be damaged and the product may not start up properly if the power is switched off before the flashing stops.
