a device (switch, or hub for instance) 
that will provide power in a PoE setup. 
Maximum allowed continuous output 
power per such device in IEEE 802.3af 
is 15.4W, 30W in IEEE 802.3at. 
PD (Powered Device) is a PoE-enabled 
terminal by PSE and thus consumes 
energy, such as IP Phones, network 
cameras and Wireless access points, etc

over Ethernet Injector.
5-1 Before Installation
Before your installation, it is recommended to check 
your network environment. If there is any IEEE 
802.3at devices need higher power to power on and 
work normally, the 802.3at PoE Injector can provide 
you a way to supply power for this Ethernet device 
conveniently and easily. The 802.3at PoE Injector 
equips with an AC power cord with 100-240V AC 
input and injects DC 53V power into the pin of the 
twisted pair cable (pair 4, 5 [+] and pair 7, 8 [-] ).
If there is very difcult to nd a power socket for 
AC-DC Adapter of your non IEEE 802.3at networked 
device, the 802.3at PoE Injector and POE-162S 
can provide you a way to supply DC power for this 
Ethernet device conveniently and easily.
The 802.3at PoE Injector and POE-162S 
can be installed in pair. However, the 
use of third-party device is allowed if the 
device complied with IEEE 802.3at Power 
over Ethernet.

not providing 53V DC in-line power, once 802.3at 
PoE Injector detects the existence of an IEEE 802.3at 
/ 802.3af device, the ACTIVE LED indicator will be 
steady on to shows it is providing power.
1. Since the 802.3at PoE Injector PoE 
port supports 53V DC PoE power 
output, please check and assure the 
Powered Device (PD) acceptable DC 
power range is 53V DC. Otherwise, it 
will damage the Powered Device (PD).
2. If the connected device is not fully 
complying with IEEE 802.3at / 
802.3af Power over Ethernet or inline power device, the LED indicator 
of 802.3at PoE Injector will not be 
steady on.

1. According to IEEE 802.3at / 802.3af 
Power over Ethernet, the 802.3at 
PoE Injector will not inject power to 
the cable if not connecting to IEEE 
802.3at / 802.3af devices.
2. Please ensure the POE-162S output 
voltage is correct before applying 
power to remote device.
