Installation manual

PREPARING THE BUILDING

Installation of Temperature control items does not interfere with the concepts

of traditional systems but requires taking some precautions in the design

phase.

The BUS cable can share the trunking used for the traditional energy line,

made with traditional concealed trunking or with trunking for wall mounting.

This solution allows quicker installation and less work on the wall structure.

Regardless of the installation solutions adopted, it must be remembered

that if a generic telephone pair is used, it must be kept separate from the

power line. This limitation does not apply when using the sheathed BUS

cable supplied by Bticino, which has 300/500 V insulation voltage. The

same conduits can thus be used for the power cables and the BUS line. It is

good practice to provide junction boxes in the home for the electric power

services and for the star distribution of the BUS cable to the various devices.

Whenever the radiator valves are to be operated or fan-coils controlled,

the electric power services and BUS cable should also arrive near the heat

exchangers.

General installation

rules

If the zone interceptions, made by means of solenoid valves or pumps

installed immediately after the collector, are in the same box, all the

actuators should be collected in a unit which should be installed near the

box itself.

Provide device-holder boxes for the sensors with a capacity of two Living

International/Light/Light Tech modules. Remember that there is a choice

of two types of installation for the box: ﬂ ush-mounted or wall-mounted. In

both cases the installation must be at a height of about 1.5 metres from the

ﬂ oor, away from the heat exchangers and sources which could affect the

temperature reading.
