Overview
The Unison
®
Heritage Button Station connects to the LinkConnect station
communication bus. LinkConnect is based on Echelon
®
LonWorks™ with
LinkPower bidirectional protocol, and uses one pair of wires (data+, data–).
LinkPower is topology free and polarity independent; you can install your
LinkPower data runs in any desired combination of bus, star, loop, and home-run.
ETC recommends using Belden 8471 (or approved equal) wire. The total
combined length of a LinkPower wire run may not exceed 1,640 feet (500m), with
a maximum distance of 1,312 feet (400m) between any two devices. The Heritage
Button Station may be installed into an industry standard single gang backbox
(provided by others) or a surface mounted backbox (sold separately and available
from ETC).
All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a qualified installer and
should follow standard wiring installation practices. Leave approximately 10 inches
(254mm) of wiring in the backbox for connection and to allow slack for future
service needs.
Installing the Heritage Button Station
Installation should follow local codes
and standard practices. The backbox
should be installed square for best
results. Ensure that the backbox is clean
and free of obstructions and that all
wiring is installed correctly.
Heritage stations ship with a termination
kit containing a LinkPower pigtail, a
ground wire pigtail, spacers, and all
required connectors for installation.
