Description
The Clare Touchpanel Power Extension Kit provides a simple
way to extend your touchpanel’s power supply length up to
200ft. Follow the below instructions to extend the reach of your
touchpanel.
Note: This kit replaces the original power supply.

custom snap wiring connector
•1 ×CC-18v-5v - 5 volt regulator cable assembly
Notes
•You will need a CAT 5 or better cable.
•An RJ-45 connector is not required, the kit is designed to
snap onto the wires.
WARNING: You must follow the instructions below to extend
your touchpanel’s power supply. Failure to do so may result in
bodily injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Installation
Select a location in the home for the touchpanel, and then
install the extender kit.
To install the device:
1. After selecting the mounting location of the panel, ensure
there is a wall opening large enough to insert the
CC-18v-5v cable assembly.
We recommend no less than a ⅞ in. or 22 mm diameter
opening in wall space.
2. Select the desired location for the power supply.
3. Run the CAT 5 cable from the panel mount location to the
power supply.
4. Cut the shielding on the CAT 5 cable by ½ to ¾ in.,
inserting the four wires according to their marked colors
into their power supply.
5. Press the clamps down until the tabs on the side click into
place.
WARNING: Not clamping the connector down properly
could lead to improper/poor charging and damage to the
panel.
6. At the panel mount location, cut the shielding on the CAT
5 by ½ to ¾ in., and then insert the four wires according to
their marked colors into their corresponding connectors on
the cable assembly.
