2. Identify the desired location for installation of the
fan control and run the remainder of the CAT-5e
control cable to this location.
3. Secure the CAT-5e control cable to the building
structure to ensure it does not interfere with fan
performance. To prevent communication issues, do
not coil excess control cable or route control cable
with power wiring.
4. If provided, mount the optional fan control in the
desired location and plug the CAT-5e cable into
the RJ45 port on the control. Otherwise, install
and wire the control source according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
5. If one control source will be used to operate
multiple fans, the fans can be daisy-chained
together to create a network using the following
instructions.
CONTROL
FAN 1
a. Wire the first fan in the chain to the control
source using steps 1-4 above.
b. Plug an additional CAT-5e control cable into the
2-way RJ45 splitter located at the top of the
downtube on the first fan. Connect the other
end of this CAT-5e cable into the 2-way splitter
on the next fan.
c. Repeat step 5b. for subsequent fans until all
fans in the chain are connected in series.
d. Follow the "Fan Networking" instructions on
page 11 to complete network setup for the fans.
With Optional 1,000 ft. Bulk Spool of CAT-5e Cable
Included Component:
• 1,000 ft. Bulk Spool of CAT-5e Control Cable (1)
• Shielded, Pass-Through RJ45 Connectors (25)
Hardware/Tools Needed (Not Included):
• Fan Control (1, optional)
• CAT-5e Termination Tool
1. Determine required length of CAT-5e cable run.
Unspool appropriate amount of cable and cut to
length.
®
IMPORTANT: Individual CAT-5e cable lengths must
not exceed 200 ft. in order to prevent network
communication issues.
2. Strip and remove 2 inches of CAT-5e cable jacket
leaving the foil shield intact.
3. Fold foil shield back over cable jacket and trim foil
so that ¼ inch remains.
4. Untwist conductor pairs, straighten and align wires
according to EIA/TIA T568B wiring pinout.
5. Trim conductor ends flush leaving 1 inch exposed.
FAN 2
6. Fully insert cable into shielded, pass-through RJ45
connectors until foil enters back end of connector.
Use only the provided RJ45 connectors.
7. Verify that conductors are in the correct wiring
scheme order.
8. Crimp RJ45 connector with CAT-5e termination tool
(not included).
9. Repeat on opposite end of CAT-5e cable to
complete cable construction.
10. Follow the "With Pre-Built CAT-5e Cable"
instructions on page 18 to complete
communication wiring and fan control installation.
