4. Connect the green wire to ground.
5. The blue wire is a low-voltage tap to connect up to seven PHAST PLL-3WAY switches (see
Figures 2 and 3).
6. Make sure the RJ-45 connectors have been correctly installed on the PHASTLink cables and
insert the RJ-45 connectors in the RJ-45 jacks on the back of the PLL-SD10 (see Figure 3).
Make sure the connectors are fully seated in the jacks.
Note: The PLL-3WAY switch also has RJ-45 jacks, but these have no connection to any
internal circuitry in the PLL-3WAY. The RJ-45 jacks on the PLL-3WAY are only
provided as a convenient means of continuing a PHASTLink line through a junction
box that contains a PLL-3WAY. Refer to the PLL-3WAY documentation for details.
7. For optimum performance, we recommend the installation of a double 120-ohm terminator in
one of the RJ-45 jacks of the last device (or the only device) in a chain of PHASTLink
devices.
To build a double 120-ohm terminator:
a. Install a 120-ohm resistor between pins 1 and 2 of an RJ-45 connector. See Figure 4 for
RJ-45 pin numbers.
b. Install a 120-ohm resistor between pins 7 and 8 of the same RJ-45 connector.
Note: Use ¼-watt or larger resistors.
8. Make sure there is a minimum 0.25-inch gap between all high- and low-voltage components.
9. Remove the plastic face plate and mount the PLL-SD10 in the junction box.
10. Screw the PLL-SD10 to the junction box through the mounting slots.
Note: For multi-gang installations, break off the metal corner tabs on the metal heat sink.
The outer tabs on the end devices may be left intact. Up to five PLL-SD10 units can
be mounted in a single multi-gang junction box without de-rating the load capacity.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging this device and voiding the warranty:
•
DO NOT connect the ground wire (green) or the 3-way control wire (blue) to the hot, load,
or neutral wires.
•
DO NOT short the load wire (red) to the ground, common, or 3-way control wires.
