Network Connections for ECY-VAV-PoE Model Controllers
The ECY-VAV-PoE controller is powered through the Ethernet network cable by using a
technique called Power over Ethernet (PoE). A single network cable provides both data and
power to the controller.
The ECY-VAV-PoE Controller must be used with an IEEE 802.3at type 2 certified network
switch that can supply 25.5 W at the powered device. Each of the switch’s ports must be
configured for static (hardware) power negotiation (that is, Data Link Layer Classification is
not supported).
Connect your PC’s network card to the network PoE switch using a Category 5e Ethernet
cable as shown in Figure 6-4 and then connect the controller to the network PoE switch.
