2.11 Connecting the supply voltage
For redundant and outfall-resistant power, you can connect multiple power 
sources in any combination at the same time. The device automatically 
selects the power supply.  
Note: Switch over to a redundant power supply may not be seamless. If the 
power supply currently active is interrupted and another power supply takes 
over, the device may reboot to activate the redundant power supply.
2.11.1 5-pin M12 connector (BAT-F)
A 5-pin M12 connector (A coding, supplied) is used to connect the power 
supply.
On delivery, the connectors are sealed with cover caps.
The housing of the M12 frame connector is electrically connected to the 
functional ground (FE)  ( ) and to the metal housing of the device. The 
supply voltage is electrically isolated from the housing.
Note: For the BAT54-F, the voltage supply is exclusively via PoE (see on 
page 45 “Power over Ethernet (PoE) - power supply via the LAN cable”). 
2.11.2 4-pin terminal block (BAT-Rail)
The supply voltage is connected via a 4-pin terminal block which is locked 
with screws.
Redundant power supplies can be used. Both inputs are uncoupled. There is 
no distributed load. With redundant supply, the power supply unit supplies 
the device only with the higher output voltage. The supply voltage is 
electrically isolated from the housing.
Warning
For safety reasons the devices have been designed to operate at 
low voltages. Thus, they may only be connected to the supply 
voltage connections and to the signal contact with SELV circuits 
with the voltage restrictions in accordance with IEC/EN 60950-1.
