Rough-In Conduit and Wiring
The wall mount enclosure is provided with knockouts on top and bottom for conduit access into the unit.
All wiring terminations are accessible from the front of the unit with the cover removed.
Required terminations include -
• A single phase 115 VAC, 230 VAC, or 240 VAC power input (two wire) which terminates to the
power input terminal block, plus a ground wire which terminates to the ground bar screw terminal.
• LinkPower (Belden 8471 or approved equal) for the station communication bus. All stations must
be grounded by using grounded metal conduit or a 14 AWG ESD drain wire per run. Two
LinkPower wire runs are required including:
• One run from the associated Paradigm Station Power Module (P-SPM) which terminates
on the two pin header labeled J2 on the repeater I/O board.
• One LinkPower run (or more as desired) for station data and power out. These runs
terminate to the removable pluggable connector labeled LON on the repeater I/O board.
• 24Vdc auxiliary power to the control station(s). Auxiliary power requires two 16 AWG (1.5mm
2
)
stranded wires which terminate to the removable pluggable connector labeled “AUX” on the
repeater I/O board. Auxiliary wire are topology-free. A maximum auxiliary voltage run is
dependant by the wire gauge and the distribution of auxiliary load determined by installation. The
auxiliary supply is capable is of 36W (1.5A at 24Vdc).
Terminate Wiring
The Paradigm repeater and dual repeater is supplied with a voltage regulator for selection of either
115 VAC or 230/240 VAC operation; a single phase (2 wire plus ground) AC input terminal; a pluggable
connector for LinkPower data input from the associated Paradigm Station Power Module; and a
pluggable connector each for LinkPower data and Auxiliary power out to the Paradigm control stations.
N o t e : LinkPower includes one pair of wires (data+ and data -). The total combined length of
a LinkPower wire run cannot exceed 1,640 feet (500m), with a maximum distance of
1,313 feet (400m) between any two devices.
N o t e : All low voltage control cables must run in separate conduit from power wires.
