Power
TIP: Most technical calls received are due to installers using CAT5 or alarm cable to power the unit. Neither are rated to carry enough power (2 amp peak). Please use following cable…
- Up to 2 metres (6 feet) – Use minimum 0.5mm2 (18 gauge)
- Up to 4 metres (12 feet) – Use minimum 0.75mm2 (16 gauge)
- Up to 8 metres (24 feet) – Use minimum 1mm2 (14 gauge)
Using insufficient power cable thickness will cause excessive stress on electronic components, and therefore void the manufacturer’s warranty. To avoid such problems, it is recommended (and is good practice) to locate the power supply as close to the transmitter as possible. This avoids power cable noise and interference and enhances the lifetime of the product.
