No, it's not confusing the way it is now. I just had a blonde moment.
>>Obviously if you put all pins to the -48 no leds will come on.
See, now that's confusing. I removed all jumpers and put positive to the
+, negative to - as you have them marked and the green LED still lights
up. Reverse them and the red LED comes on instead. Perhaps that's where
some of my confusion is coming from. It looks like the LEDs are just
wired to the input block and are independent of the POE circuit. Am I wrong?
Don't get me wrong, the LED is nice to have to know there's power
present, but it's not essential. Meaning I could live without them.

If I can make it less confusing please let me know how. Obviously if
you put all pins to the -48 no leds will come on.

Oh, I see. Chuck made things easy by marking + and - on the input block
so you know what's what on the jumper diagram on the back of the card. I
know he's explained this before. Apparently I'm just a little slow this
week.

Yep. That's why I'm going to have a RSD to separate all "-48" loads
at the sites.
I think I'm working on too many things at once and confusing myself
and forgetting things, because I've done this before. :(

The Trango bonds their return to chassis, regardless of what the POE
does. So you need to check what else is on that power feed, and if
any of those devices also bond to chassis. If one or more is bonding
+ to chassis (that's Trango), then any other that bonds - to chassis
is gonna blow a fuse or let the smoke out.

Chuck, can you verify for me again.. the earth side of this thing
isn't tied to the negative side of the input block? I'd say no,
because obviously the green LED is on when wired as you have them
marked. And the red LCD when it's backwards. So the LEDs are just a
polarity indicator and has no bearing on what's what.
Just trying to wrap my mind around any potential issues when using
these for powering the old Trango radios (-48 on all four pairs,
return on shield) which I'm about to do. I'm out of Trango's -48
POE boxes and ain't buyin no more.
I suppose sometimes I over-think things.
