Table 4:Device types: Twisted-pair ports and PoE support
The PoE ports allow the connection and remote supply of, for example, IP
telephones (Voice over IP), webcams, sensors, printer servers and WLAN
access points. With PoE, power is supplied to these terminal devices via the
twisted-pair cable.
The devices are supplied with PoE voltage (53 V DC safety low voltage) via
the internal voltage supply. The PoE voltage to the twisted-pair cables is
supplied via the wire pairs transmitting the signal (phantom voltage).
The total PoE power output is limited to 61.6 W.

To protect the exposed uninstalled contacts of the components from dirt,
connect the individual system components in a dry and clean working area.
When you are selecting the installation location, make sure you observe
the climatic threshold values specified in the technical data.
Prevent heat from the surroundings from affecting the device.
Applies to devices featuring supply voltage with the characteristic value F:
Take care that the temperature of the device base plate remains under
194 °F (90 °C) during operation.
You achieve this, for example, by means of one of the following
measures:
You make sure that the operating voltage of the device is at least 20 V.
You limit the total PoE output to a maximum of 47 W.
You limit the ambient temperature to a maximum of 149 °F (65 °C).
You install the device on a 1.62 ft2 (0.15 m2) metal plate to which you
will connect no other heat sources.
Prepare the drill holes at the installation point.
Mount the device on a level surface with four M5 screws.
2.3.1Grounding the device
The device is grounded via the separate ground screw.
See “Device view” on page 14.

Use the M4 screw for the protective ground.
Use toothed washers to ensure good electrical conductivity at the
connection.
2.4Connecting the ferrite
Applies to devices featuring supply voltage with the characteristic value F:
To adhere to EMC conformity, you connect the ferrite supplied to the voltage
input via the power supply cable.
Installation OCTOPUS OS20/OS24 Unmanaged

Release 08 07/2015
Insert the power supply cable through the ferrite 3 times.
Position the ferrite as close as possible to the voltage input (max. distance
19.7 inches (50 cm)).
Lock the ferrite.
Note: To open the ferrite use the key supplied.
2.5Connecting the supply voltage
Use a back-up fuse suitable for the supply network.
See “General technical data” on page 31.
Do not use connectors as electrical isolating devices.
Make sure that the disconnecting device is easily accessible for
disconnecting the device from the mains voltage.
Connect the power supply connector to the power supply socket of the
device.
2.6Operating the device
When you connect the supply voltage, you start up the device.

2.7Connecting data cables
You have the ability to connect end devices or other segments to the ports of
the device via twisted-pair cables.
Note the following general recommendations for data cable connections in
environments with high electrical interference levels:
Keep the length of the data cables as short as possible.
Use optical data cables for the data transmission between the buildings.
When using copper cables, provide a sufficient separation between the
power supply cables and the data cables. Ideally, install the cables in
separate cable channels.
Verify that power supply cables and data cables do not run parallel over
longer distances, and that ideally they are installed in separate cable
channels. If reducing the inductive coupling is necessary, verify that the
power supply cables and data cables cross at a 90° angle.
Use shielded cables (SF/UTP cables as per ISO/IEC 11801:2002).
Use a shielded CAT5 cable or better.
Use a shielded 4-pin M12 plug.
Connect only PoE-supplier devices whose data connections are located
in the interior of the building and are specified as SELV circuits.
There is no galvanic separation between the PoE ports of an OCTOPUS
OS24 device. If you are using these devices in ring structures, wire a PoE
port with a non-PoE port to avoid a potential difference.
Proceed as follows:
Connect the data cables according to your requirements.
Seal all unused connections and ports with protection screws.
See “Accessories” on page 36.

3Monitoring the ambient air temperature
Operate the device below the specified maximum ambient air temperature
exclusively.
The ambient air temperature is the temperature of the air at a distance of 2 in
(5 cm) from the device. It depends on the installation conditions of the device,
e.g. the distance from other devices or other objects, and the output of
neighboring devices.
The temperature displayed in the CLI and the GUI is the internal temperature
of the device. It is higher than the ambient air temperature. The maximum
internal temperature of the device named in the technical data is a guideline
that indicates to you that the maximum ambient air temperature has possibly
been exceeded.
Therefore, the temperature value displayed in the CLI and the GUI differs
from the ambient air temperature.
To determine the actual permitted maximum value for operating the device,
you perform a reference measurement:
Install the device at the planned location.
Switch the device on and wait until it has reached its maximum operating
temperature.
Measure the ambient air temperature at a distance of 5 cm from the
device.
Read the temperature value displayed in the CLI or the GUI.
Calculate the temperature difference.
Add the difference to the maximum ambient air temperature specified in
the manual.
This calculated value corresponds to the actual maximum permitted ambient
air temperature, up to which you can operate the device.

4Maintenance and service
When designing this device, Hirschmann largely avoided using high-wear
parts. The parts subject to wear and tear are dimensioned to last longer than
the lifetime of the product when it is operated normally. Operate this device
according to the specifications.
Relays are subject to natural wear. This wear depends on the frequency of
the switching operations. Check the resistance of the closed relay contacts
and the switching function depending on the frequency of the switching
operations.
Hirschmann is continually working on improving and developing their
software. Check regularly whether there is an updated version of the
software that provides you with additional benefits. You find information and
software downloads on the Hirschmann product pages on the Internet
(www.hirschmann.com).
Note: You will find information about the complaints and returns procedures
on the Internet under
Note: Connector ELWIKA 5012 PG7 (933 175-100)
supports a temperature range from −25°C to +70°C. Thus it
can restrict the operation location for the overall system.
You can obtain special connectors with protection class
IP54 and an extended temperature range on request.
Some products recommended as accessories do not support the entire
temperature range specified for the device and can thus restrict the
possible range of usage for the overall system.
Unsealed accessory parts are not suitable for use within an IP54 area.
