Qwik Install Guide before assembly.
Recommended Tools: Phillips Screwdriver, 10mm wrench

Qwik Install
STEP 1: Install the POE switch into the housing leaving adequate room
for CAT5 cables. Velcro strips have been included for easy and secure
installation of the POE switch into the housing.
STEP 2: Install the switch housing to a pole using the included U-bolts
or your supplied hose clamps. You can also mount to a wall using your
supplied screws. Always mount with the CAT5 cables exiting the bottom
of the unit to maintain weatherproofing. Tighten securely but don’t overdo it and crack the housing.
STEP 3: The switch can be powered via POE into the uplink port or
with a DC source connected to the switch green wire terminal connector
or both. So the switch can be powered with a primary and backup power source if desired. Whatever voltage is used to power the switch, that
is the same voltage that appears on the POE output ports.
STEP 4: Route CAT5 cables thru the feedthroughs. Each feedthrough
can accommodate up to two CAT5 cables or DC Cable.
STEP 5: Power up the switch by applying power via POE or DC con-
nector. Observe the LEDS for proper operation.

STEP 6: Do not rely on the RJ45 connectors to support the CAT5 cable
by itself. Add some strain relief inside the enclosure and outside the
enclosure. Inside the enclosure can use a simple tie-wrap around each
wire or group of wires so the weight of the wires outside the enclosure
aren’t pulling on the switch connectors. This will lead to failure over
time. Outside the enclosure tie wrap the cable bundle and attach to the
pole or mount to support the cable weight.
STEP 7: Button it up by checking the rubber gasket is free from any
contamination then installing the cover and tightening the 4 screws.

Additional Information you may find useful
1. POE CAPACITY: The upload port of the POE Switch can handle up
to 2A current at the input. If powering via the POE Uplink port make
sure your total load does not exceed 2A or it will affect the proper operation of the switch.
2. WIRE TERMINAL: If DC power is supplied thru the green wire terminal connector, the current limit is 10A. If DC power is supplied through
the POE uplink port, the voltage will also be available on the wire terminal connector and can be used for other uses.

switch from one voltage to another, it can be easily retrofitted just by
using a different DC voltage source.
