WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Wire Length

To determine the amount of CAT-5 wire required for the system installation, first decide how many keypads will be used, then determine the distance between each intended keypad location to the intended CAM6.6 location. The maximum recommended wire run length is 250 feet for each UNO keypad.

•Make sure that the entire wire path between keypads and CAM6.6 is clear and not obstructed by a floor ceiling joist, or masonry wall which can’t be drilled through.

•Confirm ahead of time that you can drill an outlet hole easily and in an unobtrusive spot to connect wires with the CAM6.6.

•Label wires with keypad and room location. This simplifies CAM6.6 hook-up once the key- pads and speakers are installed.

RJ-45 Connections

The CAT-5 T568A wiring standard shown below is used for the RJ-45 terminations.

Speaker Wiring

Standard 16-gauge 4-conductor stranded speak- er wire can be run up to to 125 feet; 14-gauge wire can be run up to 250 feet.

When running wire, pay particular attention to the following areas:

•Avoid locations concealing pipes, heating ducts and AC wiring in the general vicinity.

•Avoid running wires close to house electri- cal wiring for any distance. If you have to run them parallel, make sure to space the wires at least two feet from the AC line.

Keypad Wiring

For the UNO keypad or touchscreen, the follow- ing connections are used to terminate the CAT-5 wire to the 110 punchdown on the keypad:

CAT-5 110 Punchdown Connection

The UNO keypad 110-punchdown terminal requires the use of a punchdown tool. Attach the CAT-5 cable to the 110 punchdown terminal on the UNO keypad, matching the conductor colors to the connection color guide. The keypad will not operate properly if the terminations deviate from the required connection order.

Caution

Take care when using an impact 110 punchdown tool, as this may overspread the contact points. Use of the impact tool may propel stray bits of wire and jacket into the keypad’s chassis and possibly cause a short in the circuitry. Gently shake or blow air through the keypad chassis to remove stray wire before the keypad is installed into the junction box.
