UNO-TS2 Touchscreen Connections

CAT-5 Connection

The UNO-TS2 Touchscreen uses a 110-punchdown terminal to provide a simple installation and strong connection for CAT-5 cable’s eight conductors.

Punchdown terminals require the use of a punchdown tool. Attach the CAT-5 cable to the 110-punchdown terminal on the UNO-TS2 touchscreen as shown, 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.

RJ-45 Connections

The CAT-5 T568A wiring standard is used for RJ-45 ter- minations.

Keypad Wiring

For the UNO touchscreen, the following connections are used to terminate the CAT-5 wire to the RNET 110 punchdown on the touchscreen:

CAT-5 WIRE COLOR	TYPE
Brown	+12V
Brown/White	+12V
Green	Ground
Green/White	Status In
Orange	Ground
Orange/White	IR Out
Blue	COM A
Blue/White	COM B

Installation Considerations

The best infrared remote performance is achieved with the touchscreen away from any direct sunlight, plasma TV, and low voltage lighting controls. Also consider con- venience when choosing a location.

•The maximum recommended wire run length is 250 feet for each UNO touchscreen.

•Make sure that the entire wire path between key- pads and the controller 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 controller.

•Label wires with keypad and room location. This simplifies connections once the keypads and speak- ers are installed.

OS Update Port
