Installation
Installation should follow all local codes and standard electrical practices.
The back box should be installed plum and square for best results. Ensure that
the back box is clean and free of obstructions and that all wiring is installed
correctly.
Inspire stations ship with a termination kit for use with Belden 8471 (or
equivalent wire) and contains a power pigtail a ground wire pigtail, spacers,
and all required wire termination connectors for installation.
Connect the Wiring
Step 1: Pull all required wiring (data+, data-) into the back box. As needed, pull
an additional ESD ground wire (required only when the station is not
installed in grounded metal conduit).
Step 2: Connect station ESD ground wire pigtail.
a: Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) of insulation from the ends of the station ground
wire pigtail, provided in the termination kit, and the incoming ground
or to the grounded metal back box.
b: Use one WAGO connector, provided in the termination kit, to connect
the station ESD ground pigtail and the incoming ground. For stations
using grounded metal conduit, connect the ground pigtail to the metal
backbox ground location.
c: Install the ESD ground wire pigtail Faston connector to the spade
terminal on the station electronics.
Step 3: Terminate and connect EchoConnect wires. EchoConnect is topology
free, you may install the wires in any combination of bus, star, loop, or
home-run.
a: Strip 3/8” (9-10mm) from the ends of each power pigtail wire, provided
in the termination kit, and the installed control wires.
N o t e : NEC Class 2 product to be wired in accordance to NEC
Article 725 and local jurisdiction requirements.
N o t e : When using Category5 (or equivalent) cable on the EchoConnect
communication bus, please note the following:
- Not all topologies are supported using Cat5; careful planning is
required to ensure the proper termination kits are available and
the wire is pulled appropriately.
- Cat5 wiring may be terminated using EchoConnect Cat5 Station
Termination Kit and must be installed using a bus topology. Refer
to the installation guide that is provided with the Cat5 Station
Termination Kit (7186A1207) for information to terminate Cat5
wiring.
