2.3 ACT365-VCUPoE
This unit must be fed from a compliant PoE (power over Ethernet) power source (PoE 802.3bt for 3A
power output).
2.3.1 Mounting
1. Mount the boxed module securely using the enclosure mounting points in the correct orientation,
allowing 100mm clearance around the enclosure – see diagram.
2. Route cables via knockouts and/or rear cable enclosure entry holes.
2.3.2 Power Up
1. Attach correctly rated load cable to load equipment and fasten using cable ties.
Note polarity.
2. Attach suitable Ethernet cable from PoE++ source to POE IN RJ45 connector (100m max from
PSE).
3. Attach suitable Ethernet cable between IP device and DATA RJ45 connector (if required).
4. Connect charged 12V battery 7Ah to the other end of battery cable.
Note:
Ensure correct polarity of battery connections: + use Red lead, - use Black lead.
5. Observe Green LED is ON when PoE is present.
6. Observe Load equipment indicates power is present.
7. Remove POE IN cable and observe load equipment continues to indicate power is present.
8. Reconnect PoE INPUT cable.
2.3.3 Troubleshooting
In the event of loss of PoE++ to the ACT365-VCUPoE, the PoE Fault signal contact will open and the
Green LED will turn off, the ACT365-VCUPoE will continue to deliver up to 13.8V 3A of power to the
load until the battery reaches its Deep Discharge protection limit.
If the output of the ACT365-VCUPoE fails, the cause of the failure should be investigated, for example,
a short circuit load, or connection of a deeply discharged battery. The fault should be rectified before
restoring power to the ACT365-VCUPoE. If any of the fuses require replacing, ensure the correct fuse
rating and type is used. A spare fuse is supplied with the controller.
