CONNECTIONS
CHARGING
POINTSOURCE Plus should be charged before rst use and after
long periods of storage. If stored, it should be fully charged before
storage, and recharged every 6 months to maintain battery performance.
To charge the Battery Module, connect the supplied charger to the
socket on the top of the unit. The unit should sit on a horizontal
surface in a ventilated area (such as a shelf or bench in an oce or
workshop) during charging. The LED on the charger will light red
during charging, and green when charging is complete or if no charge
is required. Charge time is typically 4 - 8 hours.
The charger can be left connected once charging has completed,
however disconnection within 12 - 16 hours is recommended for
best performance.
| Ensure Power Switch is in the OFF position prior to removal or
insertion the Battery Module |
| Only the supplied charger should be used |
OPERATION
1. Connect your laptop or other network equipment to the Uplink port.
2. Connect your IP camera or other POE device to the POE port.
3. Switch on POINTSOURCE Plus - allow the camera to power-up.
4. Congure the camera using the laptop as normal.
Note: the laptop and camera are connected in exactly the same way as if they
had been directly connected with a network crossover cable. POINTSOURCE Plus
does not have any eect on the network data connection.
Therefore, if you are experiencing problems connecting to the camera, please
consult the camera manufacturer’s documentation or contact your camera
supplier for support. You can leave POINTSOURCE Plus switched on and
“hot-plug” network connections without damage, however it is recommended
to switch o the unit when not in use, even if it is fully discharged.

USING POINTSOURCE PLUS
POINTSOURCE PLUS is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor
use, suitable weather protection must be employed. If the product is
dropped or sustains physical damage, discontinue use immediately
and dispose of the product safely.
BATTERY INDICATOR
The four green LEDs provide an indication of remaining battery life,
though the level may dip under heavy load. If only one LED lights,
recharging is recommended.
If none of the battery LEDs light then the battery is fully discharged
and the unit will not operate, to prevent battery damage. In this case
leave POINTSOURCE Plus switched o until it has been charged.
The red POE LED lights when power is being delivered to a compatible
device connected to the DATA port. It will flash if an incompatible
(non-802.3at) device has been connected, or if the device has drawn
more power than it is permitted to.
USING THE 5V USB CHARGING PORT
The USB connection may be used for charging smart phones and
tablets and is iPad compatible. The USB port has no data connection
function.

OVERVIEW
Veracity’s POINTSOURCE Plus is a portable, rechargeable battery
powered Power over Ethernet (POE) injector. It is designed to be
compact and easy to handle, yet able to deliver enough power to
support a full day of IP camera installation.
POINTSOURCE Plus can be used with all POE-powered equipment,
such as IP cameras and 48V wireless access points, enabling
applications such as:
| On-site conguration
| Site surveys and pre-installation trials
| Customer demonstrations
| Mobile and temporary installations
It complies with the universal 802.3at POE standard, and can deliver
up to 30 watts of POE power, while simultaneously powering other
5 Volt accessories if required. Network crossover between ports is
integrated, to allow direct connection of a laptop PC, as shown in the
example below.
