Step 2: Connect the power supply

You must connect a power supply to the Connect EZ and then plug it into a mains power supply. Each Connect EZ variant has different power supply requirements.

• Connect EZ 4: Connect EZ 4 is intended to be powered by a locking barrel output transformer rated 100-240 VAC to 12 VDC, and with a 3 A output.

  The power supply is included with the Connect EZ 4 device.

• Connect EZ 4i: Connect EZ 4i is intended to be powered by a certified extended temperature power supply pigtail DC cable with output rated at 100-240 VAC to 12 VDC 3 A, -40 C to +74 C.

  The power supply is included with the Connect EZ 4i device.

• Connect EZ 4 with PoE: Connect EZ 4 with PoE can be powered by a locking barrel output transformer rated 100-240 VAC to 12 VDC, and with a 3 A output.

  Connect EZ 4 with PoE does not come with a power supply. You can order the following: Connect EZ 2/4 Power Supply Accessory Kit: Digi PN 76002119.

  In addition, you can connect an 802.3af PoE PSE (power source) to the ETH2/POE port and use it as a remote power point. See Front panel and LEDs.

For more information about the power supplies, see Step 1: Verify product components.

1. Orient the device so the front of the device is facing you.

   

2. Connect the end of the power supply cord to the device.

   • Connect EZ 4 and Connect EZ 4 with PoE: Locking barrel connector

     1. Align the power cord connector flanges with the slot in the power connector.

        

     2. Fully insert the power cord connector.

        

     3. Twist 90 degrees to the right. The power cord connector locks securely into place.

   • Connect EZ 4i: Wired power connector

     1. Push the red stripped wire into the positive (+) port in the power connector.

     2. Push the black stripped wire into the negative (-) port in the power connector.

     3. Plug the power supply into the power cord.

3. Plug the other end of the power supply cord to a mains power supply.

4. As the device powers up, multiple LEDs may blink, including the Power LED. When complete, the Power LED is solid blue.
