Installation

Informer15 Speaker (Model IS-I-P15X Series C)

Wiring the Network and Power Connections

PoE model (See Figure 2)

To wire the PoE models, connect the Ethernet field wiring to J1 on the PoE board to 

provide both the IP communications and the PoE from the switch. 
The Informer15 Speaker has an eight-pin Ethernet port for connecting to the network. 

Ethernet wire runs must be less than 328 feet (100 meters) from the nearest network 

switch. Do not install in a conduit carrying high voltage. The wired Ethernet port auto-

negotiates a 10/100, full or half-duplex connection and provides PoE to the Informer15 

Speaker. Do not remove the prewired Ethernet cable between the PoE supply PCB J2 and 

the controller PCB. The Ethernet field wiring must be connected to the J1 Ethernet input.
