Mounting a Network Connector

To mount a network connector:

1. Select an appropriate location with the connector in the recommended 

mounting orientation, as shown in Figure 7.

2. Mark the position of the mounting screws.

3. Pilot drill the two mounting holes.

4. Fasten the network connector to the mounting surface with two #6 

screws.

Installing Xanbus-enabled Devices

If you are installing a Xanbus-enabled device on an existing Xanbus 
System, see “Putting the System in Safe Mode” on page 16.

To install the Xanbus-enabled devices:

1. Determine and prepare the location for each device. Refer to the 

installation procedure in the appropriate guide. See “Related 
Information” on page iv.

2. Measure and determine the required cable length, taking into 

consideration the routing and strain relief requirements.

Do not exceed the total recommended cable length of 130 feet (40 
meters).

3. Mount the devices according to the installation procedure in the 

appropriate guide.

4. Connect to the network.

Figure 7

Recommended Mounting Orientation for Network Connector

Important:

Mount cables and network connectors in a dry location.
