Example of use

1. Technical description

1.1. General description.

The RS98 is a 9-port switch in a RACK 19” metal housing with integrated power supply.

Automatic detection of any devices powered in the PoE standard is enabled at the 1 – 8 ports of the switch. The UPLINK port is
used for connection of another network device. The LEDs at the front panel indicate the operation status (description in the table
below).
The PoE technology ensures a network connection and reduces installation costs by eliminating the need to supply a separate
power cable for each device. This method allows supplying other network devices, such as IP phone, wireless access point or
router.

1.4. Technical parameters (Table 3.)

Table 3.

* The given value of 15.4W per port is the maximum value. The total power consumption should not exceed 96W when all PoE ports are being used.

2. Installation

2.1. Installation procedure

1. The unit should be mounted by a qualified installer, holding relevant permits and licenses (applicable and
required for a given country) for 230V/AC interference and low-voltage installations.

2. The unit should be mounted in confined spaces, in accordance with the 2nd environmental class, with normal
relative humidity (RH=90% maximum, without condensation) and temperature from -10°C to +45°C.

3. The switch shall operate in a horizontal position in order to ensure free air convection in the RACK cabinet. The
switch load balance should be done prior to installation.
The given value of 15,4W per port is the maximum value referring to a single output. The total power
consumption should not exceed 96W when all PoE ports are being used.
The increased demand for power is particularly evident in the case of cameras with heaters or infrared
illuminators - when launching these features, the power consumption increases rapidly, which may adversely
affect the operation of the switch.
The device is designed for a continuous operation and is not equipped with a power-switch. Therefore, an
appropriate overload protection in the power supply circuit should be provided. Moreover, the user should be
informed how to disconnect the power supply unit from the mains supply (usually by assigning an appropriate
fuse in the fuse box). The electrical system shall be made in accordance with applicable standards and
regulations.

2.2. Installation procedure

1. Mount the switch in a RACK 19 ” cabinet

2. Connect the plug of the power supply switch to the AC 230V socket.
Make sure that the device is installed in such a manner and place, that the free flow of air around the device
is ensured.

3. Connect the power (~230V).

4. Connect the camera wires to the RJ45 connectors (PoE connectors).

5. Check the optical indication of the switch operation.
