2. Product Overview

Key Features

• Extended Transmission Distance: Max 6560FT (2000m) over Cat5e/6/6e network cable; Max 3280FT (1000m) over RVV twisted pair cable.
• Wide Application: Ideal for security monitoring systems, elevator video network coverage, multimedia network systems, industrial automation control, and real-time advertising playback systems.
• Integrated Power Output: Each unit includes an additional terminal block providing 10-60V/1A power output to connected devices, reducing the need for separate power sources at remote locations.
• Robust Design: Exquisite and compact all-metal shell for efficient heat dissipation and stable operation.
• Non-PoE: Both transmitter and receiver units require separate DC power adapters for operation.

3. Setup and Installation

Before You Begin

• Ensure you have the necessary network cables (Cat5e/6/6e or RVV twisted pair) of appropriate length.
• Confirm that your network devices (e.g., IP cameras, NVRs, switches) are compatible with Ethernet connectivity.
• The product does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet). Both the transmitting and receiving ends require a DC power adapter for power supply.

Connection Steps

Follow these steps to set up your Ethernet Extender Repeater Kit:

1. Connect Power: Connect one DC 12V power adapter to the 'DC IN' port of the first WG502F unit (Transmitter). Connect the second DC 12V power adapter to the 'DC IN' port of the second WG502F unit (Receiver). The PWR indicator light should illuminate.
2. Connect Network Devices:
   • For the Transmitter unit: Connect your source network device (e.g., NVR, switch) to the 'LAN' port using a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable.
   • For the Receiver unit: Connect your remote network device (e.g., IP camera) to the 'LAN' port using a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable.
3. Connect Extender Units:
   • Using Cat5e/6/6e Cable: Connect the 'SLAN' port of the Transmitter unit to the 'SLAN' port of the Receiver unit using a Cat5e/6/6e RJ45 network cable.
   • Using RVV Twisted Pair Cable: Connect the 'PLC' terminal block of the Transmitter unit to the 'PLC' terminal block of the Receiver unit using a 2-core RVV twisted pair cable. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
4. Verify Connection: Once connected, the PLC or LAN indicator light (depending on the cable type used for extension) on both units should illuminate, indicating a successful link. The LAN indicator on each unit will also show activity when data is being transmitted.
5. Powering External Devices (Optional): If you need to power a remote device (e.g., an IP camera) from the extender, connect the device's power input to the '12V POWER' terminal block on the Receiver unit. The voltage provided will match the input voltage of the DC power adapter connected to the extender (e.g., 12V if using the default 12V adapter).

4. Operation

Basic Operation

Once properly installed and powered, the WG502F Ethernet Extender Repeater Kit operates automatically. It transparently extends your Ethernet network, allowing data transmission between your local network and remote devices over long distances.

• The PWR indicator light should be solid green when the unit is powered on.
• The PLC indicator light will be solid green when a stable connection is established over the RVV cable.
• The LAN indicator light will be solid green when an Ethernet link is established and will blink to indicate data activity.

Powering Network Devices (10-60V Output)

The WG502F units are equipped with a terminal block for providing power to external network devices. This feature is particularly useful for powering remote IP cameras or other low-power devices directly from the extender unit, simplifying wiring at the remote end.

• The voltage supplied by the '12V POWER' terminal block is equal to the input voltage of the DC power adapter connected to the extender unit. For example, if you use the default 12V power adapter, the output will be 12V.
• Ensure that the device you intend to power is compatible with the voltage and current (up to 1A) supplied by the extender. If your device requires a different voltage, you will need to use a power adapter with the corresponding specifications for the extender unit.

5. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ATNEDCVH WG502F Ethernet Extender Repeater Kit, please follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the units. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• Environment: Operate the devices in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.
• Connections: Periodically check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
• Heat Dissipation: Do not block the ventilation holes on the units. The all-metal shell is designed for efficient heat dissipation.
• Power Supply: Always use the provided DC 12V power adapters or compatible power supplies within the 10-60V range.
