Introduction

This quick guide is intended to assist installers with cable connections to the Vector 4D Time of Flight people counter.

Before running cables and fixing the Vector to the ceiling, make sure that it is being installed in a suitable location. This guide should be used in conjunction with the general installation guide: Irisys Vector 4D - Installation.

 

Vector Connections

To access the available connections, flip the Vector over:

       

 

If your Vector has a green power connector then it is not PoE compliant, and you should follow the instructions provided for non-PoE here.

 

Network Connections

All Vectors – whether PoE or non-PoE – need a CAT5 (or better, CAT6 preferred) network cable connection between the switch and the Vector.

                                   

 

Power for PoE Vector

When cabling for PoE enabled Vectors, only one network cable is required (as above), which will transmit both IP data and power. CAT5 can be used but we recommend CAT6 or better whenever possible, with gauge AWG 22 or 23.

As long as the switch is a PoE capable switch, and PoE is enabled on the port that you have used, the Vector will power up and is ready for use using this single cable.

If the switch is PoE capable but the Vector does not power on, check with the IT department that PoE output has not been disabled on the port used.
If the switch is not PoE enabled, then you will need to source an additional third party PoE Injector which complies with the PoE 802.3af specification and insert it between the switch and the Vector.
