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.
