Wiring
Route CAT-5e cable between the keypad locations and the controller. Terminate
all CAT-5e cables with an RJ-45 connector using the T568A wiring standard
configuration. Utilize a UL/CSA approved electrical box at the keypad (double-
gang at least 32 cu. in.) and controller locations. Using connector specific wall
plates at the controller location will better organize all of the incoming cables.
Route CAT-5e wire from the electrical box to each keypad location, with runs not to
exceed 250 feet. Label the wires at both ends with the zone and location.
Route standard 4 conductor speaker wire to each speaker location. Each
speaker connection requires a minimum 8 ohm load. Standard 16-gauge
4-conductor stranded speaker wire can be run up to 125 feet; 14-gauge wire
can be run up to 250 feet.
