veracity LONGSPAN MAX VLS-LSM-B Hi POE Ethernet Extender User Guide

Connecting Devices
Connect a LONGSPAN Max Base to a LONGSPAN Max Camera and then to a POE camera or other POE device using a CAT6 cable for increased POE delivery at a distance.

Power Over Ethernet
The LONGSPAN Max Base unit can output a maximum of 90W POE, depending on the optional PSU used.

Installation

Use standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable for setup.

Connect LONGSPAN Max Ethernet ports to 100Base-TX Ethernet-compatible equipment.
Use patch wiring (straight through) for LONGSPAN to LONGSPAN connection.

Always connect LONGSPAN extended network ports to other LONGSPAN extended network ports.

Surge Protection
Ensure the correct level of surge protection is in place for outdoor applications to avoid warranty invalidation due to electrical storm damage.

LONG-RANGE ETHERNET & HI-POE

Connect a LONGSPAN Max Base to a LONGSPAN Max Camera and then to a POE camera or other POE device.

CAT6 cable is recommended for increased POE delivery over distance.
In this configuration, the LONGSPAN Max Base device must be powered by a separate Veracity 56-57V DC power supply for maximum power.
(Veracity PSU options shown below)

The LONGSPAN Max Base unit can output a maximum of 90W POE, depending on the optional PSU.
LONGSPAN Max Base can be used to power a LONGSPAN Max Camera or a LONGSPAN Max Quad at the device end.

See LONGSPAN Max Base and Max Camera datasheet tables for distance versus power levels.

POWER SUPPLIES

COMPATIBILITY

LONGSPAN Max devices are compatible with all of the standard LONGSPAN Base 8, LONGSPAN Base, Camera, and Lite devices.
For full details of distances, available PO, E, and the recommended power supplies, please see the tables in the LONGSPAN Max Application Notes and Veracity Datasheets.

POE POWER BUDGET

The Veracity 56-57V DC power supplies provide maximum range and Hi-POE power budget at the camera end.
For maximum POE delivery, especially when used with a LONGSPAN Max Quad, the LONGSPAN Max Camera end device can be powered locally with a Veracity 56-57V PSU of up to 240W.

LARGER SYSTEMS

For multiple channels, up to 24 LONGSPAN Max Base devices may berack-mountedd in a VLS-1U fascia plate. Alternatively, LONGSPAN Base 8 may be used, giving up to 32 channels in 1U with four devices.
Veracity 56-57V DC rackmount power supplies are available for larger installations with multiple base devices.

INSTALLATION NOTES

Standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable should be used. Cat6 will enable maximum distance and power.
Patch or crossover cables may be used to connect devices to the LONGSPANs. However, patch wiring (straight through) is recommended for the LONGSPAN to LONGSPAN connection.

LONGSPAN Max extended network link set-up and configuration is fully automatic.
LONGSPAN Max Ethernet ports should be connected to 100Base-TX Ethernet-compatible equipment.
LONGSPAN extended network ports should only be connected to other LONGSPAN extended network ports. Devices are always used in pairs.
If the LONGSPAN Max device at the camera end is locally powered, then a LONGSPAN Lite could be used at the base end, instead of a LONGSPAN Max Base device.
When connecting LONGSPAN Max on cables over 600m or over cables with four or more joins (couplers, outlets, patch panels), on-site testing is recommended. Application Notes are available from www.veracityglobal.com

SURGE PROTECTION

Any LONGSPAN Max network design for outdoor applications must incorporate the appropriate level of surge protection to avoid invalidation of the warranty due to electrical storm damage. It is the responsibility of the system installer to ensure the correct level of surge protection is in place. See the surge protection statement below and LONGSPAN Max Application Notes.

This Device Complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference, and
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used according to the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

Surge Protection
All Veracity products have been independently tested to verify their resilience to the stringent immunity levels of international standards. Users should note that no electronic equipment can be guaranteed to be completely protected at levels beyond the defined standard; therefore, the product warranty cannot include damage to productthatch has been caused by surges exceeding those of the standards specified, for example, lightning strike activity. It is the user’s responsibility to implement relevant surge protection measures, as appropriate to the installation. This may include the fitting of additional surge protection devices where required.

ETHERNET AND LONGSPAN MAX LEDS

The tables below show the LED status for the Ethernet and LONGSPAN Max ports on the LONGSPAN Base device.
The green LONGSPAN Max LED may blink quickly while connecting.

For extremely long runs, it may take a few seconds to optimise the link.
For more detailed connection information, refer to the current LONGSPAN Max datasheet on www.veracityglobal.com

SAFEVIEW ™ LEDS

SAFEVIEW™ warning and error codes are very rarely displayed in typical installations.
However, they can assist you in quickly resolving any installation issues that may occasionally arise.
The maximum POE power available for connected devices is detected and displayed automatically.

SAFEVIEW™ LEDs display status and diagnostic information for both the Base and the Camera end LONGSPAN Max devices (i.e., the information is the same at each end).

SAFEVIEW ™ BLUE POE STATUS LEDS

Blue LEDs show the POE power available for the camera(s) or other POE-compliant device(s) in watts. The power level is displayed after the LONGSPAN Max Camera device has powered up.

In normal operation, the SAFEVIEW™ LEDs display power available in flashing or steady blue.

ON = POE enabled on the camera.
FLASH = POE available but not enabled, no compliant device detected.

If the power displayed is less than what your camera or cameras require, then consider using a local Veracity 56-57V DC PSU to power the LONGSPAN Max device at the camera end.
