Using a Panel Extender (multiple electrical panels)
Figure 8 Wiring the Panel Extender
To wire the Panel Extender, open the housing and connect 10-
or 14-gauge wires as shown in
Figure 8
.
Figure 9 Wiring the Panel Extender
Pay careful attention to the “Signal Out” and Signal In” labels. The
“Signal Out” ports are isolated so that the RF signal can pass from
the “Signal In” port through the “Signal Out” ports, but the AC power
cannot, so be sure to connect the newly created outlets to the
“Signal In” port.
Figure 9 Wiring the Panel Extender
WARNING! You must have a qualified electrician install the Panel Extender(s).
The installation should be carried out in accordance with local codes. This
may include mounting the Panel Extender inside an enclosure with conduit
affixed to the enclosure, or using 4-core cable and cable glands.
Once connected, if the product is opened up or in any way mishandled, a risk
of electric shock exists. Installers should insure the Panel Extender is not
easily accessible; for example, housing the device in a locked enclosure.
Create new electrical outlets by extending each phase (typically three) plus neutral from
the first breaker panel. These outlets will be where the Gateway injects the signal onto
the electrical grid. Use unused breakers if available.
Extend four wires (each phase plus neutral) from the newly created outlets to the "Signal
In" port on the Panel Extender. Again, this can be done with the same type of wire used
to create the outlets. Refer to local code for conduit and wire size requirements.
Extend four wires (each phase plus neutral) from the Panel Extender "Signal Out" ports
to up to three additional breaker panels. Four wires will need to be installed and run for
EACH additional breaker panel that is connected. At the subsequent breaker panel,
directly connect the other end of the wire to a breaker on each phase, remembering to
also connect the neutral. Again, use unused breakers if they are available.
The ideal place to connect the Powerline MU Gateway is at the primary breaker panel
that feeds the outlets where signal is needed. Often, there will be additional breaker
panels in the same room or on adjacent floors that service additional outlets where signal
is needed. Signal can be injected into up to four breaker panels simultaneously with the
use of one Panel Extender.
