Data Cable
Build
An industrial RJ45 connector is required to attach the instrument to an
RS485 network and may be supplied with the instrument in kit form. A
replacement kit is available from Lighthouse. This section of the
manual will illustrate installation of this connector.
Requirements
The following tools and materials are required to build / attach the
sealed industrial RJ-45 connection used on the
REMOTE Active
Count
.
•
Category 5e Unshielded Twisted-Pair 24AWG wire (CAT5e UTP),
minimum
•
CAT5e UTP plenum wire may be required for installation in ceiling
plenum area
•
Industrial RJ-45 plug kit
•
Wire strippers
•
RJ-45 crimp tool
•
RS485 hub or switch (preferred) - do NOT use an Ethernet switch!
Site Preparation
WARNING:
Both ends of the RS485 cable must be wired the same.
References are made throughout this section to the EIA/TIA-568B
standard for Ethernet/RJ-45 wiring that must be followed.
Failure to wire both ends to this standard will cause failure of the
instrument and may damage the instrument, the switch or both and void
the respective warranties.
When all needed tools and materials are ready, proceed through the
following steps:
1. Check with local regulatory agencies to determine installation
restrictions and cable requirements for the application before
starting cable runs.
2. Make the necessary cable “runs” and leave about two to three feet
at each end as a “service loop”. When pulling CAT5e cable, do
NOT allow it to kink or the cable may break internally and cause
failures. Typical installations use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
but Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) may be required in areas of high
electrical noise equipment, such as generators, fans and fluorescent
lights. When cable has to be installed in the false ceilings or air
space above a work area (plenum), plenum cable may be required.
