Overview
The EchoConnect Cat5 station termination kit facilitates termination of Category 5 (or equivalent) cable on the
EchoConnect communication bus. ETC recommends using Belden 1583A (or approved equal) wire. The total
combined length of an EchoConnect wire run using Cat5 may not exceed 1,000 feet (305m).
The included Cat5 termination board includes a Cat5 input and optionally a Cat5 through connection, as well as a
two pin screw terminal for connection between the Cat5 termination board and a Unison Echo
® control station.
Installation
Step 1: Refer to the provided Cat5 Cable Preparation for IDC Termination Setup Guide to prepare the Cat5
cable for termination to the Cat5 station termination board.
Step 2: Connect the ESD ground wire pigtail.
a: Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) of insulation from the bare end of the ground wire pigtail and the Echo
control station ground wire.
b: Use one WAGO connector, provided in the Echo station installation kit, to connect the station
ESD ground pigtail and the Cat5 termination board ESD ground pigtail. Open two terminal levers
on the WAGO connector and insert each ground wire into a terminal.
c: Close the levers onto the wires.
d: Install the Faston connector to the spade terminal on the Cat5 termination board.
Step 3: Connect EchoConnect wiring.
a: Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) of insulation from the bare end of the EchoConnect power pigtail (provided
with the station).
b: Loosen the two screw terminals on the Cat5 termination board.
c: Insert the white wire (typical) into terminal 1 (identified with a + symbol and an arrow on the
board) and the black wire the remaining terminal.
d: Secure the screws firmly onto each wire.
e: Connect the other end of the EchoConnect pigtail (two pin connector) to the two pin receptacle
on the Echo station.
Step 4: Connect the Cat5 input connector (and optionally the output connector) to the Cat5 termination
board.
a: Connect the IDC connector with prepared data input cable from the station to the Cat5
receptacle on the Cat5 termination board.
b: Connect the IDC connector with prepared output cable to the remaining Cat5 receptacle on the
Cat5 termination board.
Step 5: Remove the protective backing off the mounting tape and secure the termination board to the inside
of the station junction box.
N o t e : The connector referenced in Step 4 of the Cat5 Cable Preparation for IDC Termination Setup
Guide is the 8-position connector (J3409-F) provided in this termination kit.
This kit includes the following:
• Cat5 station termination board
• One ESD ground wire pigtail with a Faston connector attached
• 2 each 8 position female IDC connectors (J3409-F)
• 3 each cable ties
• Cat5 Cable Preparation for IDC Termination Setup Guide (4100M2202)
