7. PUNCH-DOWN BLOCK INSTALLATION AND ORGANIZATION
The collector punch-down block is organized so that each two punch-down block rows, starting at the top, left
of the block are one sensor port. The last two rows are not used. Refer to the Punch-down Block Diagram
(page 21).
Bridge-clips are normally used to connect left-side pins to the right-side pins, which are wired to the collector
unit. If patching of sensor inputs is required, jumpers can be used from any sensor wire-pair on the left to any
collector wire-pair on the right.
The punch-down block is to be mounted on the wall at the designated site using appropriate wall-mount
hardware. The collector unit is mounted to the selected wall site, adjacent and connected to the associated
punch-down block, using the Velcro tape provided with the unit or other appropriate mounting bracket. When
using Velcro tape to secure a collector unit, it is important that the solid metal end clip is firmly secured to
prevent sagging of the collector to punch down block connection.
Install the punch-down block/collector unit(s) so as to allow for wiring access, neat wire routing and dress, and
connection of any sensor wire-pair to any collector input. Neat and orderly punch-down blocks are easier to
troubleshoot and maintain.
