CONNECTING POWER
The NET5301T-I video encoder is designed to operate from either a 12 VDC or a 24 VAC power supply. It automatically senses power type and polarity (DC).
The NET5301T-I can be powered from many sources:
•NET5301PS power supply connects directly to the 4-pin connector on the NET5301T-I rear panel.
•The RK5100PS-5U rack mount kit supplies power through the 4-pin connector on the NET5301T-I rear panel as soon as the unit slides into place.
•The Pelco MCS (B model), WCS (B model), and TF Series power supplies provide power through a 2-pin terminal block (supplied) that plugs into the 2-pin connector on the NET5301T-I rear panel.
•Other UL Listed direct plug-in power units marked “Class 2” and rated for 12 VDC ±10% or 24 VAC ±10% provide power through a 2-pin terminal block (supplied) that plugs into the 2-pin connector on the NET5301T-I rear panel.
The power consumption of the NET5301T-I is 14.5 W (24.2 VA).
Use Table D to help identify the necessary wire gauge and maximum cable distance. This table applies to 2-conductor solid copper wire. (Reduce distance by 10 percent for stranded copper wire.) These maximum distances are based on a maximum allowable voltage drop of 10 percent.
