System Design, Installation and
Connections
Planning
Before installing the Olé-SF, it is
essential to have a detailed and ac-
curate system design. An authorized
Sunfire installer should be con-
tracted for proper installation and
programming of your touchpad. The
first step to a good design is to map
the system. It is advisable to mark
up a copy of the house floor plan
with speaker, keypad, touch panel,
volume control, and equipment
locations etc. Make sure that all
locations are decided upon before
pre-wiring commences, so that all
necessary wiring and installation
hardware is in place.
It is essential that ALL system
components are accounted for prior
to the pre-wire stage. After estab-
lishing design goals, make a de-
tailed list of all components. Include
source equipment, keypads, touch
panels, volume controls, amplifiers,
communications gear, etc. Gather
up any IR remote controls that may
be necessary for final programming,
or ensure that the IR codes for all
equipment to be installed are avail-
able in the SunTools IR Library.

Installation
The Olé-2SF is designed to fit into
a standard 3 cu. in. double-gang
electrical box. Consult local building
codes for specifics in your geo-
graphic area. Note that the Olé-SF
is not designed for outdoor use.
Pre-Wire
The Olé-SF requires power,
control, and status to function cor-
rectly. Each touchpad has an RJ-4
jack on the back to allow for easy
connection. Run Cat- wire from the
receiver/processor location (head-
end) to the location where each
touchpad will be installed.
Note: Use of wire other than Cat-
may produce undesired results (IR
bandwidth may be narrowed or
interference may occur).
Warning: Never connect
the Olé-SF Cat- cable to
computer Ethernet or LAN
systems, DSL routers etc.
Make sure that Cat- cable
used with the Olé-SF is clearly
marked to avoid any confusion.
Note: Maximum wire run is 00
feet.
