5. CABLE INSTALLATION
This section contains tips to aid in the installation of cables. When installing sensor and network wiring, normal
telephone installation techniques should be employed. Sensor wire runs should allow sufficient length to
move ceiling tiles and perhaps to move sensors if needed. The paragraphs are in order of component type
(for ease of identification and discussion of related topics) and are followed by the procedural steps.
5.1 Cable Installation
It is the responsibility of the installer to run all cables as indicated on the provided floor plan schematic
diagram. Each cable must be labeled at both ends with the identification of the end device to which it is run
(e.g., sensor, collector, or intercom unit). Collector cables should be labeled with the identification of the
collector that it runs to down the collector chain, away from the concentrator.
CAUTION:
Note that specific pin-color relationships have been defined in this section. Cables using RJ-
series plugs may appear to be usable, when in fact, they may not be correctly wired. Use only
cables pre-wired by the manufacturer or wired as described in this section.
