7.1 

Connecting the Loop 

 
The Digilite loop wiring must always be connected as a complete loop from the panel to each 
outstation, then back to the panel again. Please see figure 7.0 
 
The loop wiring carries both power and bi-directional signalling to the Digilite outstations.

7.2 

Connecting the Mains 

 

Important Note: 
 
Pay particular attention that the earth cable is firmly connected to the earth terminal of the 
power supply, and that the earth strap from the power supply PCB to the earth post is sound. 

 
Ensure the fused double pole isolator is in the ‘OFF’ position then connect the incoming mains cable 
to the appropriate terminals on the power supply PCB (see figure 7.1).
