2.7.5 Variable PoE
The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any
peripheral devices connected (see table). PoE classes 1, 2 or 3 may be selected in the
web-based user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system design
(PoE switch in use, emergency power concept, etc.).
PoE Power Level Classes (IEEE 802.3af standard)
Class Max. power consumption
Camera operating mode and peripheral devices
1
0.44 W–3.84 W
LowPower mode; no peripheral devices (available soon)
2
3.84 W–6.49 W
Normal mode; max. 1 W for MxBus peripheral devices
3
6.49 W–12.95 W
FullPower mode; max. 2.5 W for MxBus peripheral devices
(for example, MX-GPS-Box and MX-232-IO-Box to MxBus),
max. 4 W for peripheral devices to MxBus and USB inter-
face
Caution
If the total power consumption of the camera and peripheral devices exceeds the
power provided by the PoE switch for the specified class, the switch can disconnect
the camera from the power supply.
In this case, the camera will only be accessible
again once the peripheral devices have been disconnected from the camera and
the camera has been restarted.
The PoE class that has been set is usually fine and nothing needs to be changed. However,
if your application requires a lower or a higher power class, you must change this in the
browser:
1.
Select Admin Menu > Network
Setup > Ethernet Interface
.
2. Click on
Change
under
Power
Supply
.
3. A
Power Wizard
will appear to
guide you through the PoE con-
figuration steps.
4. Next, restart the camera:
Disconnect the camera from the
power supply. Then reconnect
it, for example, by disconnecting
and then reconnecting the Ethernet
cable at the PoE switch.
Variable PoE: Multiple
cameras can be oper-
ated simultaneously
from the same switch
