Power source and wiring
The Senstar LM100 system can operate on a wide range of input voltages (12 to 48 VDC). A
12 VDC power supply is suitable for powering the gateway and the luminaire AP, or a single
luminaire. Outdoor rated low voltage power cable is available in 152 m (500 ft.) reels (P/N: 14/2
GW0337-14, 16/2 GW0337-16). The distance covered by a power supply can be extended by
running the power cables in both directions around the perimeter from a central location. The
following figure includes the number of luminaires that can be powered based on power supply
voltage, wire gauge and distance:

Auxiliary device output power
The gateway device can source up to 100 mA at the gateway’s input voltage via the onboard
outputs. The outputs can be used to energize high voltage relays or to activate auxiliary security
devices. The gateway’s outputs can also sink up to 100 mA from an auxiliary device.

Power over Ethernet
Silver Network based gateways using Ethernet communications have the option of using Power
over Ethernet. To use this powering option requires a PoE class 3 switch that is located within
100 m (328 ft.) of the gateway, and minimum Category 5 Ethernet cable. Power over Ethernet is
supplied to the gateway’s Network Interface card (NIC) and the power output on the NIC is
connected to the power input on the gateway. The PoE connection can also supply power to the
luminaire AP (but not to any other luminaires).

Note
In locations where AC power may not be stable or reliable, an
uninterruptable power supply (UPS) should be used for primary power.
