The RLX2 radios accept power from 802.3af Mode B or passive Power over Ethernet
sources supplying 48VDC, with an average power draw of less than 8 watts. ProSoft
offers the following passive PoE injectors for use with the RLX2 radios:
POE-48I-AC
Power over Ethernet Injector, AC input
POE-48I-DC-DC
Power over Ethernet Injector, 9 to 36 VDC input voltage
The radio shall be installed by trained personnel only, as outlined in the installation
instructions provided with each radio.
The equipment shall be installed by a qualified installer/electrician. The
installer/electrician is responsible for obtaining a secured ground connection between
the lug terminal on the surge protector to a verified common ground point using a
minimum 6 AWG gauge wire. This must be done when attaching power lines to the
radio during installation.
A solid ground connection should be verified using a meter prior to applying power to
the radio. Failing to secure a proper ground could result in serious injury or death as a
result of a lightning strike.
Using Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power remote devices has several advantages
including:
"Carrier Class" Power Over Ethernet System.
Power can be supplied over long distances, up to 300 feet.
