d) Set the reset switch on the transmitter unit to the “On” position. All the red LEDs
will light followed by an audible squawk tone.
e) Touch the TEST button on the transmitter. After a short delay, the transmit #1
LED will light with the corresponding #1 LED on the receiver scale.
f) Touch the TEST button again to light the transmit #2 LED with its corresponding
receiver #2 LED.
g) Repeat this process until all conductors in the cable have been verified for
continuity.
4. For each collector perform the following:
a) For the collectors identified on the contractual floor plan schematic diagram as
LAST, set the UNTERMINATED/TERMINATED switch to the
TERMINATED position. For all other collectors, set the switch to
UNTERMINATED.
b) Insert the RJ plug(s) into the collector receptacle(s) (either collector receptacle is
acceptable).
In case of interference problems with the collector cable over a long distance, it may be necessary
to ground the cable to an earth ground. You will need to use a shielded CAT 5 cable between the
interference points. Depending upon interference, the collector wire should be grounded to an
earth ground. This should only be done if there is known interference on the collector cable.
4.5.5 Network Wiring for Ethernet Concentrators
The computer should be equipped with an appropriate network card for connecting to the Ethernet
Concentrator(s).
The Ethernet Concentrator requires CAT 5 four-pair UTP cable runs between the network card in
the computer and the Ethernet Concentrator. For multiple concentrators, install a 10Base-T or
10x100Base-T network hub or connect it to an existing Ethernet network within a facility. The
Concentrator cannot be connected to a 100Base-T network hub. Like Collectors, Ethernet
Concentrators use a 24V power supply. For more information on the Ethernet Concentrator, refer
to the Badge Server and Database Server manual.
4.5.6 Concentrator Power-up Test
When the wiring has been examined and the power supply voltage has been found to be in range, a
power up of the concentrator may be performed to verify its operation. The Concentrator power
