Wiring Guidelines - Direct Power

The MAX-CSE and MAX-CSD10 units require the use of either an external 12 VDC-compliant power supply or an 802.3af-compliant device to provide DC power. Power can be fed to the unit through either the rear 2-pin 3.5mm mini-Phoenix PWR connector or the rear Ethernet connector (PoE).

Use the power requirements from the Specifications table on page 2 to determine the unit’s power draw.

This unit should only have one source of incoming power. Although the unit can be connected to two separate power sources, the

12 VDC-compliant power input overrides the PoE. Refer to the Wiring Guidelines - Indirect Power (via PoE) section on page 10 for specific PoE wiring procedures and restrictions.
