CONNECTIONS

TERMINATING FOUR-PAIR TWISTED CABLE

The Select™ and Solo™ Master Keypad Modules, the Expander, and the ZR-8630AV unit’s system-expansion con- nections require a four-pair twisted cable with a one-to-one wiring configuration. To maintain consistency throughout all IntelliPad® Ci installations, we recommend the color-coding pattern described in Figure 31, but you may adopt a different color-coding pattern if you use it consistently throughout the system. IMPORTANT: use VW-1 rated wire for connection to KEYPADS and 12V OUT terminals.

CONNECTING THE MASTER KEYPADS TO THE HOME RUN OF FOUR-PAIR TWISTED CABLE

Terminate the home run of four-pair twisted cable with a male RJ-45 connector. Plug it into the rear-panel SYSTEM jack on the Select™, Select™ IR, Solo™, or Solo™ IR Master Keypad Module (see Figure 32).
