Wiring
The illuminator is supplied with a terminated CAT 5 cable with a waterproof Ethernet connector
(supplied loose i.e. not fitted) and an auxiliary multi-core cable.
Option 1 – Power via PoE
Connect an Ethernet cable (category 5 or better) using the T-568B wiring standard between the
Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and the illuminator. Ensure that the PSE is sufficiently rated
to power the Vario2 IPPOE Hybrid device as follows:
Model
PoE Requirement
VAR2-IPPOE-hy4-1, hy4-1-C, hy6-1
IEEE 802.3at (HP PoE) ≥25.5W
VAR2-IPPOE-hy8-1, hy8-1-C
4-pair PoE ≥51W
The CAT5 cable is both the power and data connection for the illuminator. The maximum
Ethernet cable length is 100m (328 ft) without boosting the signal.
Ensure you make a waterproof connection to the RJ45 as shown below. Ensure the connector
is waterproof and sealed after the connection is made.

Option 2 – Power from 24V DC
If using low voltage power, connect 24V DC to the red (+ve) and black (-ve) cables of the
auxiliary cable. In this case the Ethernet cable is a data connection only.
For either Option 1 or Option 2 above, connect external input trigger and external output as
required – see table below:

WARNING: To maintain the IP rating of the product the multi-core auxiliary cable must be
waterproofed and terminated appropriately even if it is not in use.
