Figure 1 EPA-20 Wiring
Caution
Do not strip individual wires.
Note
The 110 terminal and RJ-45 ports with the same number are part of the same
connection. The connection is from the thermostat backplate into the EPA then
continues from the RJ-45 to the network (router, switch, etc.).
Caution
You MUST use the T568A wiring scheme on the thermostat backplate when
connecting to the EPA. The EPA 110 block is wired as a T568A terminal, so both
ends of the same wire must use the same scheme.
Note
I
You must verify the appropriate wires are placed in the correct pin holes on the
adapters’s punch down terminal.
