General wiring guidelines

• Check all ground connections. During the hardware installation they must be completed
before power and communication cabling
• Create drips loops where cable connects to product, to prevent water collecting on
device connectors
• All cables should be routed as directly as possible, consistent with consideration for other
equipment, in order to reduce electromagnetic interference effects and voltage drop
• Cables should not be installed close to high-power or high frequency conducting cables,
such as radar or radio-transmitter lines or large DC motor cables
• Where cables intersect, try to stay at right angles (90°) to minimize inductance of noise
• Only use suitable waterproof connectors when joining cables
• If a cable being pulled through a concealed area requires excessive force to finish pulling
through the remaining cable, consider rerouting cable via an alternative route – otherwise
cable conductors may get broken, the cable sheath & insulation may be damaged, or the
same damage may be done to adjacent cables, which may cause a fire
