FITTING
IDRANet is a 'free topology' network, so a user can design a layout most
 
suitable for their property. Wiring is then daisy chained as required
IDRATEK modules are low power devices, allowing several to be
    connected to the same bus spur. It is quite common to provide power at
some 'central' location with spurs radiating from this point to other areas.
 
Modules are designed to fit standard UK electrical pattresses. All the
small modules fit a single 35mm deep pattress (47mm preferable for
    ease of fitting), whereas the multifunction panel uses a double pattress
CAT5 (or equivalent twisted pair such as Belden 9504) is recommended
 
for use. The cable should be screened and earthed at a central point.
  Either multi-stranded or single core can be used and experience has
    shown that the former is sometimes easier to fit
 
A pluggable terminal block is used such that wiring can be pre-installed
 
(first fit electrical) in readiness for modules to be plugged later.
     
 
COMMISSIONING
 
IDRATEK modules are pre-configured with default parameters, but can be set at any time which requires a
   
PC with Cortex and suitable interface module (PCA/PCD-001). Cortex is designed to make this process
   
extremely simple and guides a user through each stage.
 
For larger scale projects, e.g. housing developments, IDRATEK can provide a preprogramming service
   
which will deliver modules that have their initial operational settings preprogrammed.
