2.9 POWER DISTRIBUTION
VIGIL3 implements a propriety Power Over Ethernet (POE)
mechanism in order to simplify cabling during rack design and
build.
Power is carried on spare conductor
s of the Ethernet cable
meaning that not all modules require a separate power
connection.
Sources of Power In a VIGIL3 System
• A BVMBC connected to a BV3AOM8
• 24V DC connected to a BV3AIM2/4 A
udio Input Module
NOTE: If power consuming equipment i.e. Microphones are connected to
a BV3AIM2/4 module then Power must be connected to that BV3AIM2/
4 module. Site equipment cannot be powered via POE
NOTE: 24V DC can be as high as 32V when the system is connected to
AC Mains and tracks the battery voltage when running on batteries
