2N® IP Vario is designed for connection in the Ethernet computer network (10/100BASE-T) using a UTP cable. Use a CAT 5e UTP cable at least for connection.

Caution

  • The device must be part of the electrical system of the building.


2N® IP Vario
 
is fed through the PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology. No additional cabling is therefore necessary. If your Ethernet is not equipped with the PoE technology, it is possible to use a PoE injector, Part No. 91378100. As an alternative, you can use a power adapter, Part No. 91341481E. 2N® IP Vario is configured over an integrated administration web server, which can be controlled from any web browser, e.g., Mozilla Firefox.

Description of Printed Circuit Board Connectors

In figure bellow you can see the location of the printed circuit board (PCB) connectors. Connectors to which the accessories can be connected and connectors that serve for configuring 2N® IP Vario are indicated on the board. The UTP cable for the Ethernet connection is to be connected to the terminal block X2 as shown in table below. The terminal block can be removed from the PCB. The connection of each of the connectors is described in the subsections below.

Terminal Block X2 Connection

Terminal block X2 includes 10 terminals whose functions are distinguished by colour. Terminals 5–10 are used for connecting 2N® IP Vario to the Ethernet. Terminals 3–4 are designed for connecting the electric lock and terminals 1–2 help connect an external 12 V / 2 A DC power supply if no PoE power supply is available.

  1. The terminal block is included in the package. To adjust an already installed 
    2N® IP Vario, disconnect it IP from the power supply. Then pull to remove the terminal block from the printed circuit board.
  2. Insert the wires under the respective terminals.
  3. Tighten the terminals using a flat screwdriver.
  4. Replace the terminal block to the printed circuit board.

Caution

  • Make sure that the cables leading through the 2N® IP Vario cover bottom groove are installed properly. For the correct installation of the cables refer to Figure 2.7.

Induction loop connection

The JST SHR-02V-S connector type is required to connect the induction loop output.

Ethernet Connection

For the connections and meanings of the wires see the table below. Join UTP cable wires 4 (blue) and 5 (white-blue) and attach them under terminal 6 on 2N® IP Vario in the same way. Join wires 7 and 8 and place them under terminal 5 of 2N® IP Vario.



Terminal Block Connections

Caution

  • We recommend the use of a LAN surge protection.
  • We recommend the use of a shielded SSTP Ethernet cable.


Electric Lock Connection

The electric lock can be connected to terminals 3 and 4 of terminal block X2.


Terminal Block Connection for Electric Lock

Terminals 3 and 4 are connected to a relay on the 2N® IP Vario board. The relay terminals may act as normally open or normally closed contacts. Configuration is performed through the configuration connector X1 as described in the

Configuration Connector Connection subsection. Set on the configuration connector whether the electric lock will be powered from an external or internal power supply.

Warning

When you connect a device containing a coil, such as a relay or an electromagnetic lock, it is necessary to protect the intercom against voltage peak while switching off the induction load. For this way of protection, we recommend a 1 A / 1000 V diode (e.g., 1N4007, 1N5407, 1N5408) connected antiparallel to the device.

External Power Supply Connection

If the Ethernet network is not equipped with the PoE technology, you have two alternative options how to supply power to 2N® IP Vario.

  1. Using a PoE injector, Part No. 91378100. 2N® IP Vario is then powered through an Ethernet cable as shown in Tab. 1 above.
  2. Using a power adapter, Part No. 91341481E.

The external power supply from a power adapter can be connected to terminals 1 and 2.
