4Installing Powerline MU

WARNING!

A qualified electrician is required to connect the Powerline MU Gateway to the electrical panels in the building.

NOTE:

Every effort has been made to use diagrams, symbols, wiring colors and

labels that are accepted universally across all countries. In cases where that is impossible, North American references are used in this documentation.

The following steps will guide you with your installation:

1. Gather information

You will need to gather information about the electrical system in the building in order to design your network.

∙Locate all distribution points and electrical panels on the electrical diagram. These areas provide optimal locations for Gateway placement.

∙Locate any electricity (power) meters or electricity (power) meter banks.

∙Identify which areas of the building are powered by each panel.

∙Identify all electrical closets and risers.

∙Determine potential connectivity from the panel locations to the main Internet access point, including telephone cable and conduit access.

2.Find or create an electrical diagram of the building.

Electrical diagrams, which provide details of the building’s electrical layout, are typically available from the property manager or electrician Perform a site survey to know where all the power panels are located and determine how you will connect the gateways to the Internet access point. Be sure you know who has to be involved from an electrical connectivity standpoint; utility, building owner, etc.

It is a requirement of the standard for electrical installations in buildings that a diagram chart or schedule is provided, giving details of the installation. Thus such a diagram should be available, and if any modifications are made when installing the Powerline MU, they must be recorded.

If no electrical diagram is available, however, create one. The following symbols are often used to denote various electrical devices and connections. Symbols may differ according to the country of local code where the Powerline MU is being installed. For example, “Ground” is called “Earth” in some countries. The symbols used in various countries can be found on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) website (www.iec.ch).
