NOTE: Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduits. Conduits must be UL approved for low and high
voltage. Refer to the NEC for additional wiring requirements.
INTRODUCTION
Category 5e cabling is the minimum performance category recommended.
Wiring shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70), local codes and authorities having jurisdiction.
Always provide power from a dedicated source. Plug provided transformer into an outlet wired to its own 10 Amp minimum circuit
breaker. This will prevent two problems:
• Other equipment cannot introduce spikes, noise, surges or dips into the power circuit that will affect the system.
• The system's operation will not be affected if any other equipment develops a short circuit across the power line.
* CAT 5/6 NETWORK CABLE NOTES:
• For outdoor distances exceeding 140 feet (42.7 m), a UL497 compliant primary surge protector MUST be installed at the CAPXM.
• Distances exceeding 328 feet (100 m) may be accommodated with additional hardware (available through third-party sources).
