TERMINAL STRIPS AND CABLE
Use Appropriate Cable Thickness
For optimal performance and communication, the terminal strips on the
SmartLock control panel are designed to be used with 26 – 18 American
Wire Gauge (AWG) stranded, overall-shielded, twisted-pair cable. This is
equivalent to Belden 88761 or similar cable.
Use MARR Connectors
If you are bringing in cable that is too large for the terminal
strip, use a MARR connector (wire nut, marrette, thimble
connector, cone connector). Splice the thicker cable to a cable
that is the appropriate thickness, and then run the thinner
cable to the terminal strip on the control panel.
Use Splices for Parallel Wiring
The terminal strips are designed to allow one cable per hole.
If you need to connect multiple cables in a single hole, use a
MARR connector (wire nut, marrette, thimble connector,
cone connector). Splice multiple cables to a single cable, and
then run the single cable to the terminal strip on the control
panel.
Complimentary Screwdriver
A standard Cansec screwdriver is included with every control
panel for use with terminal strips.
NOTE: Tech Support will only be provided where product installation guidelines
have been followed.
