RS485 INSTALLATION
The main Traka network cable simply needs to run from the PC that controls the Traka network to each Traka in a
daisy chain configuration...
It is recommended that you install the RJ45 Wall ports behind the Traka Control Panels to prevent anyone from
tampering with the connections. The Cat 5 cable should not span more than 500 metres in length and should not run
alongside power cables.
Running the RS485 Cable
1.
Run the Cat 5 UTP cable from the PC to the first Traka system in the chain leaving approximately 1 metre
spare at each end.
2.
Run additional lengths of Cat 5 UTP between the first Traka system and the next and do this for all additional
Traka systems.
3.
Attach the Wall Port to the wall behind the Control Panel at any convenient height so that the RJ45 socket
faces upward, using the double-sided sticky pad or screws provided.
RJ45 Wall Port Connection
1.
Strip 50mm of outer insulation at each end of the Cat 5 cable.
2.
Untwist each pair and strip 5mm of each of the inner insulation.
3.
Using a screwdriver, bend each copper end of the cables into a hook shape.
