Powering Options

The RUT500 router can be powered from power socket (1) or over Ethernet port (

applies only to the new hardware

revision*

). Depending on your network architecture you can use LAN 3 (2) or WAN (3) Ethernet port to power the

device.

RUT500 can be powered either from power socket or either over Ethernet.

Do not connect power supplies to both

power inputs simultaneously.

Also do not use LAN3 and WAN port for powering RUT500 simultaneously.

Use pin 5 of Ethernet port to supply positive voltage and connect pins 7 and 8 ground.

Even though only pin 5 is used in

router for positive voltage input, there is a posibility to connect power supplies that uses both pins 4 and 5 for positive

voltage.

To power

RUT500 using LAN3 or WAN ethernet ports, please make sure, that all jumpers from the pins

J4.1,J4.2, J3.1,J3.2 (show in a picture below) are removed, because there is a great risk of damaging a power supply!

To check if the jumpers were mounted, you need to remove front panel (the one with power socket).

Though the device can be powered over Ethernet port it is not compliant with IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard. Powering

RUT500 from IEEE 802.3af-2003 power supply

will damage the device

as it is not rated for input voltages of PoE

standard.

Using terminal block for power input

If you bought RUT500 with a 3.5mm contact pitch terminal block for power input instead of traditional 5.5x2.5mm

power socket, below there is an instruction on how to power up router.

1.

Loosen the screws on the top of the plug, so that the wires could fit into the plug holes. Use a screwdriver

with a flat tip.

2.

Strip the ends of the wires (strip length 5-6mm ), then place the positive and negative wires into the plug as

shown in the picture below. Make sure to use the same wire polarity like in the picture. Use wire size of 14-

18 AWG (1.02-1.63mm in diameter).

3.

After wire is inserted, tighten the screws on the plug.

4.

Insert the plug into the socket on the router:

18

5.

The other end of the wire needs to be connected to the power supply of your choise.

Recomended wattage of power supply:

≥9W

(for powering only RUT500)

≥24W

(for powering RUT500 and four MVC300 cameras connected to it )

In a RUT500+MVC300 solution, recomended power supply voltage is

≥12V

, especially when cameras are far

away from RUT500, connected with

long RJ45 cables.

Powering the device from higher voltage

Newer version of the device can accept input voltage up to 30 VDC (older version up to 18 VDC). If you decide not to use

our standard 9 VDC wall adapter and want to power the device from higher voltage (15

–

30 VDC) please make sure that

you choose power supply of high quality. Some power supplies can produce voltage peaks significantly higher than the

declared output voltage, especially during connecting and disconnecting them.

While the device is designed to accept input voltage of up to 30 VDC peaks from high voltage power supplies can harm

the device. If you want to use high voltage power supplies it is recommended to also use additional safety equipment to

suppress voltage peaks from

power supply. One of the options is to use Teltonika’s

PR1000 overvoltage protection

device conforming ISO 7637-2.

Powering MVC300 cameras

All RUT500 ethernet ports have the ability to supply power for the connected MVC300 cameras using ethernet port pins

4 and 5 (4 is connected to ground, 5-positive voltage).To supply power for the connected MVC300 camera(s) from

RUT500, first you need to remove the front and back panels, then take the PCB out of the metal enclosure. Now place a

jumper on the contact pins associated with the LAN port that you connect your camera to. By default, all the jumpers

are removed.

Port 1

- place jumper on contacts J1

Port 2

- place jumper on contacts J2

Port 3

- place jumpers on J3.1 and J3.2

20

Port 4

- place jumpers on J4.1 and J4.2

If all router LAN

ports are to be used to connect MVC300 cameras, mount all 6 jumpers.

When a jumper is mounted, the associated LAN port is dedicated only for connecting MVC300 camera.

Do not connect a PC or any other device, as there is a great risk for damaging them.

If you wish to connect PC, first please make sure that all of the jumpers associated to that port are

removed.
