Installation Guide
10/21/21
Pathport configuration is done with
Pathscape
software or through
the front panel user interface on some models. Please refer to the
Pathscape manual, or the individual model’s manual, for instructions
on device configuration.
The AC socket outlet (if applicable) shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
This equipment relies on building installation primary overcurrent
protection.
Except for the IEC chassis plug marked for AC input on the
PWPP RM P8, all ports on all Pathport gateways are to receive
low voltages only.
All ports intended for DMX512 or other EIA485 signals shall not
be connected to anything other than low voltage signal sources
or receivers.
Attaching anything other than low voltage sources to the data
ports may result in severe equipment damage, and personal injury
or death.
CONFIGURATION
WARNING
All Pathport Gateways are designed for indoor use in a dry location.
To maximize equipment life and minimize unreliability and sudden
failure, the following environment should be maintained:
•
Ambient Operating temperature: 14°F to 113°F (-10°C to
+45°C) [DIN models]
•
Ambient Operating temperature: 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to
+50°C) [All other models]
•
Relative humidity: 5 – 95%, non-condensing
•
General conditions: clean, dust-free
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
All PWPP WM P1, PWPP WM P2, PWPP RM P4 and PWPP DIN
models may be connected to an external power supply when Power-
over- Ethernet is not available. Each Pathport will require a supply
between 18 and 50VDC and consume no more than 8 watts of
power.
For PWPP WM P1, PWPP WM P2 and PWPP RM P4 in portable
applications, we suggest power supply catalog number PWPWR
WW BARL 24W 24VDC.
For PWPP DIN we suggest catalog number PWPWR DIN TERM
50W 24VDC for use in North America.
With the power supply turned off, connect the bare wire ends to the
2-wire terminal block (included). Slip the block over the pins marked
+ and -, observing polarity.
Check all wiring, then connect the power supply to the mains power.
The AC connection required should be provided in accordance with
local regulations.
