NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to
avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on
the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends
of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.
Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining
screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
Hardware Hookup Refer to the following hookup diagram and, aside from attaching power last,
complete the connections in any order. Refer to "Network Wiring" on page 13 when
making network connections.
NOTE: To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds
the environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications.
Consideration must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly since
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the
room ambient. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all
sides of the unit.
NOTE: The maximum continuous current from equipment under any external load
conditions shall not exceed a current limit that is suitable for the minimum wire
gauge used in interconnecting cables. The ratings on the connecting unit's supply
input should be considered to prevent overloading the wiring.
