Connecting Xanbus Cables

SHORT CIRCUIT OF NETWORK COMPONENTS

• This network is not an ethernet system. Only connect Xanbus-enabled devices to other Xanbus-enabled devices.

Do not attempt to connect Xanbus-enabled devices to other networks or systems.

• Ethernet crossover cables are not compatible with the Xanbus system. Use Category 5 (CAT 5 or CAT 5e) cables

to connect Xanbus-enabled devices.

• Do not install network terminators in an AC Sync port.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to equipment.

NOTICE

XANBUS SHOCK HAZARD

Xanbus cables in contact with DC or AC power can transmit an electric shock.

Do not route the Xanbus cables in the same conduit or panel as the AC and DC power cabling.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Xanbus cables are connected to the SCP at the time the SCP is mounted.

Connecting Xanbus cables to the SCP

1. Connect the Xanbus cable (or two Xanbus cables if the SCP is located between two

Xanbus-enabled devices) to a Xanbus network input in the SCP.

2. Route and connect the cable(s) to the nearest Xanbus-enabled device(s).

3. For additional devices, continue connecting cable as described above.

4. Ensure the factory-supplied male network terminators are inserted into the empty inputs

in the Xanbus-enabled devices at the beginning and end of the network. When the

network is completely connected, there should be no empty network inputs in any

Xanbus-enabled device.

IGNITION AND FIRE HAZARD

• This equipment is not ignition protected. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install this product in locations that

require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any confined space containing vented batteries, or flammable

chemicals such as, natural gas (NG), liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or gasoline (Benzine/Petrol).

• Do not install in a confined space with machinery powered by flammable chemicals, or storage tanks, fittings, or

other connections between components of fuel or flammable chemical systems.

• Do not install the SCP near readily flammable materials such as cloth, paper, straw, or plastic sheeting. Keep

flammable materials a minimum distance of 600 cm (24 in.) from the top surface and 30 cm (12 in.) from either

side surface and the front of the SCP.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

For detailed instructions on installing the Xanbus network, see the Conext System

Control Panel Owner’s Guide.

Wall Mounting the System Control Panel

Flush mount the SCP using the mounting plate

1. Using a jigsaw and the supplied template sticker as a

guide, cut out the hole for the mounting plate. The mount-

ing plate fastens to walls up to 19 mm thick.

2. Route the Xanbus cable(s) inside the wall and through the

opening.

4. Secure the mounting plate. Tighten the two screws to rotate

the tabs to the horizontal position and pull the tabs tight

against the inner surface of the wall. Be careful not to

overtighten the screws and damage the wall.

5. Connect the Xanbus cable(s) (and terminator if necessary) to either network input on the

back of the SCP. Connect a network terminator to the SCP if it is the last device at the end

of a daisy chain network layout.

Important: To ensure communication signal quality, the

network must be terminated at each end with a terminator.

6. Place the unit into the mounting plate

and secure it with four #6 screws.

7. Peel off the protective plastic coating

covering the screen and indicator light.

Flush mount the SCP with no mounting plate

Surface mount the SCP using the mounting bracket

1. Using the template sticker as a guide, mark the location for the area to be cut out.

2. Pilot-drill the mounting holes (if necessary), and use a jigsaw to cut out the hole in

which the SCP will be inserted.

3. Route the Xanbus cable(s) from other Xanbus-enabled devices inside the wall and

through the opening.

4. Connect the Xanbus cables to either network input on the back of the SCP. Connect a

network terminator to the SCP if it is the last device at the end of a daisy chain

network layout.

5. Place the unit in the opening and secure it with four #6 screws. Peel off the protective

plastic coating covering the screen and indicator light.

1. Using the supplied template sticker as a guide, mark the locations for two mounting

screws and the access hole for the Xanbus cables.

2. Using a hole saw, cut out the access hole for the Xanbus cable(s).

3. Route the Xanbus cable(s) from other Xanbus-enabled devices inside the wall and

through the access hole.

Important: To ensure communication signal

quality, the network must be terminated at

each end with a terminator.

3. Insert the mounting plate with the two tabs in a vertical

position into the hole.

4. Attach the mounting bracket with two #8

screws.

5. Connect the Xanbus cable(s) to either

network input on the back of the SCP.

Connect a network terminator to the SCP if it

is the last device at the end of a daisy chain

network layout.

7. Peel off the protective plastic coating

covering the screen and indicator light.

If network power is present, the SCP displays the Startup Screen briefly, and then

either the clock setup warning (the first time only), or the System Status screen.

Set the system clock to the correct time

If the SCP is the last device on the network, the open port on the SCP must be termi-

nated.
