2.7.5 Variable PoE
The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any periph-
eral devices connected (see table). PoE classes 2 or 3 may be selected in the browser-based
user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system design (PoE switch in
use, emergency power concept, etc.).

only without dual core usage and without peripheral
devices.

ple, MX-GPS-Box and MX-232-IO-Box on MxBus), max. 4 W for
peripheral devices to MxBus and USB interface.
Caution
If the total power consumption of the camera and peripheral devices exceeds the
powerprovidedbythePoEswitchforthespeciedclass,theswitchcandisconnect
the camera from the power supply. In this case, the camera will only be accessible
again once the peripheral devices have been disconnected from the camera and
the camera has been restarted.
Thedefaultsettingisusuallyne,andnothingneedstobechanged.However,thePoEpower
class must be changed in the browser if a higher or a lower power class is required for your
application:
1. SelectAdminMenu>NetworkSetup>
Ethernet Interface.
2. Click on Change under Power Supply.
3. Follow the instructions in the Power
overEthernet(PoE)dialog, which will
guideyouthroughthePoEcongura -
tion steps.
4. Next, restart the camera: Disconnect
the camera from the power supply.
Then reconnect it, for example, by
disconnecting and then reconnecting
the Ethernet cable at the PoE switch.
