6.3
PoE power supply of the PE408PoE
Notes on the PoE power supply
Incorrect power supply
The power of all connected power supply units must total the equivalent of a power source with
limited power (LPS limited power source).
If the device is connected to a redundant power supply (two separate power supplies), both
must meet these requirements.
Never operate the device with AC voltage or DC voltage higher than 60 V DC.
Information on the PoE power supply
• You can connect a different PoE power supply to each of the two connectors, see e.g. section
"Accessories (Page 24)".
• Devices capable of PoE can be supplied with power via the ports, see section "Power over
Ethernet (PoE) (Page 28)".
• For the PE408PoE to be able to supply a powered device, the connected PoE power supply
must provide an output voltage of 54 V.
• The power supply is connected using two 2-pin plug-in terminal blocks (spring-loaded
terminal). The terminal blocks ship with the device.
• The terminal block L1+/M1 provides the PoE power supply of ports P1 to P4. The terminal
block L2+/M2 provides the PoE power supply of ports P5 to P8.
• To wire up the power connector, use a copper cable of category 18-12 AWG or cable with a
cross-section of 0.75 to 2.5 mm².
• The cable for connecting the power source to the connectors L1+/M1 or L2+/M2 can be a
maximum of 3 m long.
