(30 meters) of the Controller.
Note: Place the RAD as close as possible to the distribution block.
Make sure that the combined length of the RAD TCM cable
and the TCM lines between the distribution block and the
Controller is less than 100 feet (30 meters).
3. Connect the loose wires on the other end of the RAD TCM cable
to an allowable free port (one of the first five TCM ports) at the
distribution block.
Note: Although any of the first five TCM ports are allowable for the
purposes of CDS, if you also intend to use the backup/restore
feature in Companion Manager, you should use the first TCM
port.
Ensure that the RAD TCM cable is free of bridge-taps and loading
coils.
