WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Wire Length
To determine the amount of CAT-5 wire required
for the system installation, first decide how
many keypads will be used, then determine the
distance between each intended keypad location
to the intended CAM6.6 location. The maximum
recommended wire run length is 250 feet for
each UNO keypad.
• Make sure that the entire wire path
between keypads and CAM6.6 is clear and
not obstructed by a floor ceiling joist, or
masonry wall which can't be drilled through.
• Confirm ahead of time that you can drill an
outlet hole easily and in an unobtrusive spot
to connect wires with the CAM6.6.
• Label wires with keypad and room location.
This simplifies CAM6.6 hook-up once the key-
pads and speakers are installed.
RJ-45 Connections
The CAT-5 T568A wiring standard shown below
is used for the RJ-45 terminations.

Speaker Wiring

Standard 16-gauge 4-conductor stranded speak-
er wire can be run up to to 125 feet; 14-gauge
wire can be run up to 250 feet.
When running wire, pay particular attention to
the following areas:
30
• Avoid locations concealing pipes, heating
ducts and AC wiring in the general vicinity.
• Avoid running wires close to house electri-
cal wiring for any distance. If you have to run
them parallel, make sure to space the wires
at least two feet from the AC line.

Keypad Wiring

For the UNO keypad or touchscreen, the follow-
ing connections are used to terminate the CAT-5
wire to the 110 punchdown on the keypad:

CAT-5 110 Punchdown Connection
The UNO keypad 110-punchdown terminal
requires the use of a punchdown tool. Attach the
CAT-5 cable to the 110 punchdown terminal on
the UNO keypad, matching the conductor colors
to the connection color guide. The keypad will
not operate properly if the terminations deviate
from the required connection order.
Caution
Take care when using an impact 110 punchdown
tool, as this may overspread the contact points.
Use of the impact tool may propel stray bits of wire
and jacket into the keypad's chassis and possibly
cause a short in the circuitry. Gently shake or blow
air through the keypad chassis to remove stray wire
before the keypad is installed into the junction box.
