Power Options
Most eSynC products can be powered using a standard USB Power supply, such as the one
provided with the tablet or mobile phone. The typical power supply provided with a mobile
device is rated at 5 volts nominal output voltage with a 2-ampere capacity.
Any 5-volt regulated power supply is permitted, provided at least 5 volts is present at the input to
the eSynC. The preferred voltage is 5.1 to 5.25 volts. The input voltage must never exceed 5.25
volts. Exceeding the maximum input voltage violates LAVA’s Manufacturer Warranty.
The eSynC-PE and eSynC-P2UE support Power over Ethernet (PoE) and therefore can operate
using power provided over the network cable. Using PoE can resolve the problem of getting
power to a device when an AC outlet is not accessible.
Using a PoE injector is a method of supplying power to an eSynC-PE or eSynC-P2UE-based
system, even when wired Ethernet is not required by the customer application.
The eSynC “vc” products are designed to operate from a 9 to 36 VDC unregulated power supply.
This power option is ideal in vehicle-based applications or any standalone unit running from a
storage battery. In a retail or business environment, this option permits the power brick to be
placed a considerable distance away from the eSynC when a wall outlet is not in a convenient
location.
Please see the “Connection Descriptions” section of this document for additional details on each
of the power options summarized here.
