Hardware and Wiring Installation Guide 17
The punch-down blocks, collectors, and concentrators should be installed in a secure location, such as
a communication or server room. The installation should allow for wiring access, neat wire routing
and dress, and connection of any sensor wire-pair to any collector input. Neat and orderly punch-
down blocks are easier to troubleshoot and maintain.
To install the punch-down blocks and collectors
Note:
Make sure power is not supplied when connecting components.
1. Mount the punch-down block on the wall using appropriate wall-mount hardware.
2. Mount the collector adjacent and connected to the associated punch-down block, using the
Velcro tape and clip provided with the unit. When using Velcro tape to secure a collector unit,
make sure the solid metal end clip is firmly secure to prevent sagging of the connection
between the collector and punch-down block.
4.4 Connecting Sensors to Collectors
Sensors are connected to the collectors through punch-down blocks. The punch-down block is
organized so that each two punch-down block rows, starting at the top left of the block, are one
collector port that is connected to by one sensor.
