Keyscan Inc. A Member of the Kaba Group – CA150 Rev. B Installation Guide (07.15)
Power-up & Test Voltages
The CA150 can be powered via the following sources:
Ethernet connector using PoE (Class 0)
TB6 with a +12V DC, UL approved, power supply
Keyscan recommends the CA150 power is supplemented with an appropriate backup battery ensuring
continued operation in the event of a power failure.
PoE
The CA150 has a built-in PoE power supply which provides power to the control board and the connected
hardware. The PoE power supply has the following maximum current rating:
680mA @ 12V (approximately 8 Watts)
The CA150 operates as a Class 0 PoE Powered Device (PD). As such, the CA150 requires the allocation of 15.4
Watts from the PoE switch or injector. Of the 15.4 Watts, the CA150 provides 680mA at 12 volts -
approximately 8 Watts - to power connected peripheral devices such as readers, door strikes, PIR sensors, etc.
When using the CA150’s on-board PoE power supply, the total number of connected hardware devices
including the door strike cannot exceed the 680 mA threshold; otherwise, a separate +12V DC power supply
with a sufficient current rating is required. See PTC resetting fuses for maximum port currents.
PTC Resetting Fuses
The power sourcing ports on the CA150 are current limited with PTC resetting fuses with the following ratings:
Reader 1 port – 500 mA
Reader 2 port – 500 mA
Door output – 500 mA
Aux/Accessibility output – 500 mA
RTE port – 300 mA
System Power-up
Depending how the CA150 is connected for power – PoE (Class 0) or a +12V DC separate supply – refer to the
relevant power up instructions.
Important
After the control board has been powered up for the first time, be sure to reset the factory defaults by
performing a clear memory procedure outlined on page 49. After the control board has been installed,
powered and tested, return to a PC/server with the Keyscan Client software and perform a full panel
upload to populate the control board with the Keyscan database.
PoE
Ensure the right cover on the CA150 control board has been removed.
