3Installation and Wiring
3.1 Before Installation
Note:
Find external power switch position in case accident occurs during installation and device
maintenance. You can immediately cut off power or unplug device power line if needed.
3.1.1Select Installation Position
Do not affect the normal operation of device, as far as possible away from heat sources
such as electromagnetic fields or electromagnetic radiation source, easy to leak location,
power inlets and outlets.
Do not install in the room with corrosive acid-base gas.
Do not affect the normal operation of other device, maintenance, and does not occupy
maintenance, security channels and device placeholder.
The location of the module should be placed in the collection room or area, and facilitate the
wiring, and generally cannot exceed 15 meters from serial communication (RS232)
intelligent devices.
In order to facilitate the device wiring and installation, it is recommended that the distance of
device bottom from the installation ground is 1.4 meters or the installation height flushes with
the AC distribution box to maintain the site device overall good appearance.
3.1.2Common Tool
Glue gun, tape, electric hand drill, rivet gun and rivet, multi-meter, soldering iron and other
common tools.
3.1.3Requirements for Installation
Cut Line
You must stop the power or signal before cut the line, when unclear whether there is
electricity or signal, do not allow more than two lines cut at the same time(to prevent
short circuits and interference) , only allowing to cut one by one.
Note to use insulated pliers; do not throw the cut line randomly to prevent a short circuit
to ground.
Stripping
Use a sharp diagonal plier to scratch a lap on wire and then pull with force, remove the
insulating layer of wire.
Note that do not cut too deep, otherwise will scratch the metal wire
Wiring When wiring, separate the two wires that will be connected together for 1.5 cm and up,
followed by two wire twisted tight and together, and then add on solder wire. Respectively
wrap the connected wire with insulating tape tightly, then two wires wrapped are put
together.

Note Do not have short glitch exposed on the outside, which will puncture insulating tape
and other cause short circuit of metal, at the same time be sure to wrap in a uniform
appearance, with thickness not less than two layers of insulating tape.
Terminal
Peel the line about 1 cm, (if it is stranded cotton-covered wire, use hands to twist them
together) and fold twice. After terminal is inserted, tighten the terminal screws.
Note that the terminal screws must be very tight, and use hand to pull the inserted wire,
confirm this line is very strong.
Weld When welding on site, be sure to consider security issues of soldering iron, must be
careful not to damage other device during welding.
