Cabling
1. Using a conventional method, connect the category cable wiring from the gateway to the punch down side of
patch panel.
2. Use an RJ45 jumper cable (or patch cable) to connect the corresponding ports from patch panel.
3. Connect each engine to AC power and turn on AC power using the circuit breaker. Confirm that the engine
power light comes on.
4. Connect all engines to the local network via Ethernet ports marked LAN.
Note:
The category cable should be punched down at the patch panels according to T568A or T568B
standards, which are straight through or crossover arrangements.
Engine Power Requirements
1. To ensure the engines operate continuously as designed, a dedicated branch circuit for the engines is
recommended, preventing other loads on the same circuit from drawing too much current from the branch
circuit. Provide the engine with a suitable disconnect in the input power distribution so that AC power is
safely removed during servicing. The wiring must meet all NEC, state, and local electrical codes and needs
to be installed by a qualified electrician.
2.
Redwood
engines are available as 200
–250 VAC and 277 VAC power input versions.
For the 277 VAC version
, the engine requires a maximum of 8A of
current from the branch circuit to which it is connected when
operating at full power. At a minimum, a 10A branch circuit is
required for a single engine, given the standard 80% de-rating. The
socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
AC input: 277 VAC/8A, 50
–60Hz
Max power consumption: 2,200W
