QUICK START GUIDE PoE Adapter

Power over Ethernet

The PoE adapter provides the Omnidots SWARM with both Ethernet and power, using one cable. When using the PoE adapter, you can install your SWARM in places with no 3G / 4G / LTE or WiFi connection, or in places where you cannot use an Omnidots Battery, Solar panel set or mains power. The PoE adapter is the ideal product for monitoring at for example very remote areas or in a basement or tunnel.

Requirements

To use Power over Ethernet for your SWARM, you will need the following:

• An Ethernet network with an active DHCP server which assigns local IP addresses. E.g. a PoE Ethernet switch or an Ethernet switch combined with a PoE power injector.
• An Ethernet cable, recommended Cat5e UTP (or higher), with a maximum length of 100 meters (328 ft).

Important notices

Omnidots' hardware product is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the date of original purchase, and only when used in accordance with Omnidots' user manuals and instructions. The IP65 connector and enclosure are IP rated as dustproof and protected against water projected from a nozzle.

Make sure to use the supplied IP65 connector sleeve on your Ethernet cable to ensure your PoE solution is IP65 protected. Not using the IP65 connector sleeve will void the warranty. The PoE adapter should never be opened. Only an Omnidots Certified facility can do so.
