Question: How much current is supplied to the LQ-2W2 unit 3-pin XLRs to external Clear-Com 2W Party-line devices like beltpacks / remote stations / wall mount stations?
Answer:
Using the local power supply unit (PSU) with the sleeve-locking power connector.
Note: When connecting the sleeve-locking power cable, be sure to push until the connector locks into the device.
When powered in this way the LQ-2W2 supplies approximately 150 mA of power to the 2-wire interface (~5 beltpacks).
Using power over Ethernet (PoE)
The unit will receive power from the LAN1/PoE connector.
When using PoE the LQ-2W2 supplies approximately 70 mA of power to the 2-wire interface (~1 beltpack).
Note: If you are powering more than two devices from one PoE switch, please consult the power output of the PoE switch, as you may reach the limits of its power capacity with more than two boxes.
If this happens, the device(s) will show a persistent flashing green light, and not move beyond the Clear-Com splash screen. This indicates that the device is continually booting and needs more power than the PoE switch or network is providing. In this case, consider using the local psu module with the sleeve-locking power connector cable to power the device.
