VELBUS INSTALLATION GUIDE
2 CABLING
Cabling for a Velbus system consists of electrical cabling (mains voltage) on the
one hand, and bus cable (low voltage) on the other hand.
ELECTRICAL CABLING
Each light circuit, socket circuit, blind, or other device that you wish to control
separately has to be directly connected by an uninterrupted electrical cable to
the electrical cabinet (radial circuit).
Attention: shutters cannot be wired in parallel and should therefore be
separately connected to the shutter modules. There are single and dual shutter
modules available.
Unlike a conventional installation, you do not need to include any switching in
the path of these cables. This detail alone saves you cabling costs and lets you
benefit from the ease with which electric cables are installed around the
property (no multiway or two way switching needed).
In larger installations you will save even more on the wiring by using one or
more electrical cabinets per zone. You can place these centrally to each floor
or zone, reducing the overall amount of mains voltage cabling.
If you want Velbus to control your heating, you will also need a cable from the
electrical cabinet to every heating valve (controlling the flow of hot water to
the various circuits). The type of cable will be determined by the devices, for
example low voltage or mains.
