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. |
