Control Station Wiring

Maximum total length of the control link is 2,000 feet.
This distance is based on proper shielding of the
twisted/shielded pair, proper wire size, and the use of
link terminators (LT-1) at each end of the link. If
unapproved cable or smaller wire is used, control link
length must be de-rated according to the following
chart:

• Make wire connections inside the wallbox and

Softswitch128 panel.

• All control wiring is Class 2/PELV.  Do not run any

Class 2/PELV wire with line voltage (mains voltage)
wiring.

• The order of control addresses on the control link is

not important.

Control Station Wiring Overview

Note: Link Terminators (LT-1) are
required at the start and end of
the Softswitch128 Class 2/PELV
Link.

Control Station Wiring Specifications

Notice!

If Link Terminators (LT-1) are not

used or improper wiring topology is
employed, the system will not
communicate properly.

Softswitch128 Panels

Control Stations:
Wallstations, contact closure input, contact
closure output, and RS232 devices

The Softswitch128 system communicates to control stations using a Class 2/PELV low voltage link.  Control
stations include wallstations, contact closure input and output devices, and RS232 interfaces.  Wallstations are
to be mounted in a standard wallbox.  Care must be taken in wiring the link; please follow these guidelines:

• Link must be daisy chained.
• Must run low-voltage in separate trough from line (mains) voltage.
• Link must be less than 2000 feet (600 m) long.
• Install Link Terminators (LT-1) at the start and end of the Class 2/PELV daisy-chained link.
