EX5210R Exciter Installation & Configuration Guide

Direct Power Supply
To connect to the power supply, connect a 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC power
Adaptor to the Exciter’s power jack.

Note
The EX5210R requires approximately 6W of power. When connecting an
Exciter to a direct power source, verify that the power level is sufficient.
When using a direct power source for chaining, you can only power up to
two Exciters sequentially, even if the power source is sufficient for more.
Exciters must only be powered by a limited (marked LPS or NEC class 2)
power supply.
PoE Switch
If your network has a Power-over-Ethernet infrastructure, you can connect a
CAT-5/6 Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the Exciter’s LAN connector. This
supplies both the power and the network connection.
Note
PoE standard 802.3af class 0 allows power for a single EX5210R Exciter.
When using PoE with the other Chained Exciters, a PoE connection must be
made to every second Exciter in the chain. In addition, the LAN connectivity
that the PoE supplies is not used for Chained Exciters in a chain. Chained
Exciters receive data from the Primary Exciter via the Chaining IN connection.
