Power Connection
Chapter 2: Installation
If you are planning to use Ethernet communication, the Maximus can receive its power
through a network that supports IEEE 802.3af power over Ethernet (PoE). The Maximus must
have the PoE option installed. PoE does away with the need for a separate power supply and
power wiring. The Maximus supports both end-span and mid-span PoE configurations.

Connecting the PoE Module to Powered Ethernet
Connecting the UPS Battery
Maximus terminals can be equipped with an optional UPS battery system that supplies power
to the terminal in the event of an electrical power outage.
ATS disconnects the UPS battery pack prior to shipping to prevent the battery pack from
discharging in case of extended storage periods.
The battery option includes a charger board, which is a circuit board that installs in the
terminal case and electrically connects the battery with the terminal’s main board. See the
documentation included with the charger board for installation instructions.
•
A ribbon cable attaches J2 on the charger board to J9 on the Global Series main
board.
•
A cable connects the battery to J3 on the charger board.
After providing power to the Maximus terminal you may connect the battery pack. Connect
the UPS Battery plug to the battery charger board as shown in
(If the power-over-
Ethernet (PoE) option is present, the battery backup connector is under the PoE board).
If the battery backup option is installed, the terminal operates for approximately 1.5 hours
after the primary voltage source is lost. After this, the terminal turns off. When the terminal
is in battery backup mode, the yellow low-power indicator LED is lit by default.
