WHERE TO RUN CABLES
Cables can be run:
In the roof space
In false ceilings/bulkhead area
Through and/or around external walls
Under floors (subject to access being available)
Underground in conduit
Intercom cables should be kept as far away from AC wiring as practicality permits.
Avoid running intercom cable in parallel to AC or any other type of wiring.
Avoid having joins in the cables particularly where there will be no future access for servicing.
All antenna wires should be taken to the highest and most accessible point in the roof.
Allow additional cable at each station for the purpose of termination.
(At least 1 meter for the Master)
CABLE TYPE AND CONFIGURATION
The general intercom functions for System One can be cabled using CAT5 or
VALET 8 cable.
If required, 6 core telephone cable can be used providing the system is configured
for 6wire operation.
It is preferable that the system be star wired from a central point (normally the master) however
loop wiring is permitted providing the number of stations on the loop does not exceed the
recommended number for the overall length of the cable run.
(See section “Maximum Length for Cable Runs”)
Clearly tagging all cables at the Master or central wiring point is strongly recommended as this can
be extremely helpful in isolating damaged cables or other system faults.
