Power Connector Ratings And Cable Trimming; Ethernet - Solid State Logic CapLite 64 Setup & Installation Manual

Power Connector ratings and cable trimming

The high quality power connectors are UL rated to 85A and will accept cables from 0.5-2.5mm2, 20-4
AWG. Cables must be stripped to 16mm, 0.6" if the cable is stripped shorter the clamping system will
not operate correctly and the organ may be unreliable. If the cable is stripped longer bare wires may be
visible.
The cable must be pushed all the way into the connector after loosening the screw to make a reliable
solid connection.

Ethernet

The module is fitted with a standard RJ45 Ethernet connection as is the CapLite processor. It uses
standard Cat5e or Cat6 cables for communication between modules and the CapLite Processor. We
strongly recommend you purchase ready-made cables where possible. They are cheaper and more
reliable than making your own.
Tips for successful installation with Cat5/6 cables
1. Never run more than 80 metres or 240 feet between devices
2. If you make your own cables strictly observe the colour code that comes with the connectors
3. Do not pinch the cable with tight fixing as it can reduce the data capacity.
4. Do not bend the cable tighter than what would wrap around a pencil.
5. Discard any cable with a broken clip.
6. Make sure the connectors don't have tension on them.
7. Consider using fibre optics for long runs.
8. Never split cables to connect to more places such as joining inputs. Every cable must go from
one device to another. The cable maybe spliced and also travel through suitable connectors.
