3. Installation Principles
● Each RAK-STAR punch-down connector can accept a single CAT5 or CAT6 cable,
using more than one cable will result in intermittent operation of the wired network,
if required, add an additional RAK-STAR (see wiring diagrams in Appendix 1)
● There should only be one power source per RAK-STAR; if there are multiple
RAK-LINK's connected to the RAK-STAR, the power jumpers must be removed
● If multiple RAK-STAR units are required, legs 1 and 18 should be reserved for
connections between each RAK-STAR unit.
● The RAK-STAR punchdown connections require eight cores. Four-core systems with
more than two home-run cables require the WA-NEX module.
● Cables should be point-to-point tested and identified before being connected to
the RAK-STAR
● Do not connect the RAK8-MB to the RAK-STAR; they use two separate
communication protocols and may result in damage to both units
RAK-STAR
Controls the data on the leg of the RAK-STAR;
unused legs should be set in the off position.
When data is being used, set the data switch to
the up position.
Enables voltage to flow through the connected
leg; if there is no jumper connected, there will be
no power on the leg.
A Rako wired accessory may be connected to the
RAK-STAR via the RJ11 port if desired.
