Figure 2-1: System Overview
When planning a system the first step to a good design is to map the sys-
tem. It is advisable to obtain and mark up a copy of the house floor plan with
keypad, touch panel, touchpad, speaker, volume control, and equipment
locations, etc. Ensure that all locations are decided upon before pre-wiring
commences so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place.
This unit will be interfacing with other components such as relay-controlled
devices, source components, sensors, serial controllers, and user interfaces,
so it is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the
pre-wire stage.
Secondly, make detailed list of all components being used in the system
design. Include source equipment, touch panels, touchpads, keypads,
RS-232 controlled devices, relay controlled devices, power supplies, sensors,
and the SS1 System Station itself. Be sure to include necessary electri-
cal boxes, structured wiring enclosures, telephone lines, rough-in brackets,
patch cables, ELAN Precision Panels, such as the SPP etc.
