Planning
Before installing the Olé-2SF, it is essential to have a detailed and ac- curate system design. An authorized Sunfire installer should be con- tracted for proper installation and programming of your touchpad. The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house floor plan with speaker, keypad, touch panel, volume control, and equipment locations etc. Make sure that all locations are decided upon before pre-wiring commences, so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place.
It is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire stage. After estab- lishing design goals, make a de- tailed list of all components. Include source equipment, keypads, touch panels, volume controls, amplifiers, communications gear, etc. Gather up any IR remote controls that may be necessary for final programming, or ensure that the IR codes for all equipment to be installed are avail- able in the SunTools IR Library.
Installation
The Olé-2SF is designed to fit into a standard 32 cu. in. double-gang electrical box. Consult local building codes for specifics in your geo- graphic area. Note that the Olé-2SF is not designed for outdoor use.
Pre-Wire
The Olé-2SF requires power, control, and status to function cor- rectly. Each touchpad has an RJ-45 jack on the back to allow for easy connection. Run Cat-5 wire from the receiver/processor location (head- end) to the location where each touchpad will be installed.
Note: Use of wire other than Cat-5 may produce undesired results (IR bandwidth may be narrowed or interference may occur).
Warning: Never connect the Olé-2SF Cat-5 cable to computer Ethernet or LAN
systems, DSL routers etc. Make sure that Cat-5 cable
used with the Olé-2SF is clearly marked to avoid any confusion.
Note: Maximum wire run is 500 feet.
