Echo Cat5 Termination Box
Overview
The EchoConnect Cat5 Termination Box is intended for installation on a
wall or flat vertical surface, typically near or directly next to a
wall-mount Echo Station Power Supply.
This termination box facilitates termination of up to 16 runs of
Category 5 (or equivalent) cable on the EchoConnect communication
bus.
The following supplies are included for installation convenience:
1.8 m (6 ft) of Belden 8471 cable
•
Six-position screw terminal connector J3263-F (x1)
•
For use with ETC Echo Control Systems, powered by an Echo station
power supply.
Mount Box to Wall
This termination box is provided with four knockouts on each long side, sharing
the same conduit entry locations as the wall-mount Echo Station Power Supply.
All wiring terminations are accessible from the front with the cover removed. If
you are mounting this box directly next to the wall-mount Echo Station Power
Supply, use appropriate attaching hardware and wire protection hardware (not
provided).
1. Remove the six screws securing the front cover to the box.
2. Align the unit to the wall and mark the mounting keyholes. Alternatively, see
the dimensioned drawing at right.
3. Drill the mounting holes and install the mounting hardware (not provided).
Expose at least 19 mm (3/4 in) of threads for mounting the unit.
4. Attach the termination box to the mounting hardware, where the back side
of the unit is flush to the wall, and then tighten the mounting hardware.
