62
Step 1: Prepare the location
Determine the power source for your site
Before you start the installation, plan how the InTouch will connect to a power
source at your site.
Power options
• Install using a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or PoE Plus cable for power.
• Install near an AC outlet and use the wall transformer connection for power.
Important notes
• Select a location where the distance from the power cable hole at the bottom
of the InTouch is not more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the AC outlet. Install
an outlet if necessary.
• The AC line that supplies power to the InTouch must be equipped with an
appropriate disconnect device (20A maximum circuit breaker).
• Do not connect the InTouch power line to circuits that are being used for
electrical devices that draw large amounts of power, such as air conditioning
units, electrical motors, and compressors.
• Avoid running communications cable near devices that interfere with data
transmission.
