Power over Ethernet
For power over Ethernet, a class 3 PoE switch is required. In this configuration,
minimum Category 5 cable is also required and the maximum distance between
the FlexZone processor and the PoE switch is 100 m. Each processor receiving
PoE requires an earth ground connection.
Caution: The PoE NIC is intended to supply power only to the processor on
which it is mounted. Do not attempt to power an auxiliary device with the PoE
NIC.
Auxiliary device power output
Processors that are receiving power via the sensor cables can be setup (via the
UCM) to supply power (2 W) to an auxiliary device. In this case the power
connector T4 is used to make the auxiliary device power connection. The output
voltage at T4 is equal to the input voltage over the sensor cables. The auxiliary
device can communicate its alarm status through the FlexZone processor’s Aux
inputs (in Remote control mode).
The UltraWave microwave sensor can receive power from a FlexZone processor,
as well as communicate alarm status via the Silver Network or through the
FlexZone processor’s Aux inputs. The recommended method is via the Silver
Network which requires network interface cards on both the FlexZone processor
and the UltraWave receiver. Figure 63 below illustrates connection diagrams for
the UltraWave microwave sensor in both Local and Remote control modes.

Backup power
It is recommended to power the FlexZone sensor system from an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS). Connect AC mains to the UPS and the UPS to the DC
power source. In this way, if AC power is interrupted, the FlexZone sensor
system can operate on battery power while AC power is being restored.
