  • Page 2 Rules for installing the By-me system Introduction This guide groups ten basic rules for creating a home automation system with the By-me home automation system: from choosing the cables for wiring the devices to correctly sizing the system and making provision for a sufficient number of power supply units (taking account of the absorption of each device in the field);...
  • Page 3 Rules for installing the By-me system 1. Choosing the wiring cables Use cables of different colours to distinguish between the different lines of By-me devices during installation. The cable for Vimar Bus systems (2x0.5 mm ) is insulated for 400 V nominal voltage to earth and can be routed along the same ducts as are used to carry category I power cables.

    7. Resetting the devices when first switching on the control unit After first switching on the By-me control unit, always manually reset all the automation and speaker system devices in the system. This will avoid potential issues related to the same addresses being present in the devices in the field.

  • Page 12: Speaker System

    Typical use in systems where there are many automation devices and it is necessary to add audio devices. In this case, the speaker system devices are configured in a different line to the other By-me devices. The second power supply and the dedicated decoupler are optional and must only be included when necessary for reasons of consumption.
