The GC31-E outdoor cellular gateway has three power input options, making it compatible with a variety of power sources such as AC outlets, solar panels/batteries, or streetlights. This article covers some of the common installation scenarios.
Required. Always hire a licensed electrician for installations that involve electrical wiring.
Outdoor AC outlet or junction box
Customers can use the Verkada 90W Outdoor PoE++ Injector, which takes in 100-240VAC and sends power through the GC31-E's PoE input. The injector is weatherized (IP66) and can be plugged into an AC outlet or connected directly to bare wires from a conduit or junction box. For a cleaner installation, the GC31-E can be mounted on the surface of the injector.
Indoor AC outlet
GC31-Eが建物内から電力を使用できる状況では、 Verkada 90W屋内PoE++インジェクター または Verkada AC/DC電源アダプターを使用できます。 これらのアクセサリは、100〜240V ACコンセントに差し込み、それぞれPoE入力とバレルジャック入力を介してGC31-Eに電力を送ります。
Streetlight pole
On the top of most street lights or parking lot lights is a round photocontrol receptacle, which can be used to power auxiliary devices such as the GC31-E. Verkada recommends the FP 7-Pin AC/DC Power Tap, which is compatible with 105-240VAC light poles and has an optional photocontrol passthrough. The power tap outputs DC power via PoE, allowing it to be connected directly to the GC31-E's PoE input.
Required. Always hire a licensed electrician for light pole installations, and obtain permission from the entity that owns the pole. A meter may also need to be installed in some cases.
For 277V and 480V street lights, hire a licensed electrician to step down the voltage to 120V and use the Verkada 90W Outdoor PoE++ Injector to power the GC31-E. For streetlights that only have power at night, we recommend adding a backup battery that can discharge during the day.
Solar/battery power
The GC31-E has a DC terminal block input that allows for direct wiring to a solar panel and/or battery. A 12V or 24V battery is recommended, as the GC31-E accepts 12-36VDC.
For vehicle installations, we recommend wiring to a 12V accessory or using a power timer off-relay to avoid draining the battery when the ignition is off.
GC31-Eの予想消費電力は、通常の状況で10W、ヒーターオンの状態で15Wです。
GC31-Eは、60Wのフル出力を得るために90Wを必要とします。
