3.Connect the cable as appropriate (see Wiring).

4.Line up the top of the face plate with the top of the base and press the tab on the base while you fit the face plate to the base. Release the tab to secure the face plate to the base.

SmartCom provides a modular, expandable system for the distri- bution of music and intercom functions throughout the home.

The SmartCom room station (Figure 1) provides a single, conve- nient graphical LCD keypad to control the SmartCom audio and intercom systems.

Note: You may need a second cable if the homeowner wants to upgrade the keypad to the GE SmartCom touch-screen model in the future.

Required equipment

You will need the following equipment to install the room station:

???EZ RJ45 ratchet-style crimper

???Phillips screwdriver

Installation

Terminate the CAT5 cables used to connect the room station with an RJ45 plug using the TIA 568A residential standard configura- tion. Proper installation of the CAT5e plug is critical to maintain 5e rating of the cable (see Cable preparation on page 1).

Mounting the room station

To mount the room station, do the following:

1.Press the tab on the bottom of the base and lift the face plate off the base.

2.Mount the back plate to a double-gang, low-energy box using the mounting screws provided. Do not overtighten the screws.

CAUTION: You must use the flathead screws provided or damage to the room station will occur.

Cable preparation

To add an RJ45 connector to the cable, do the following:

1.Use a CAT5e stripper to score the outer jacket about 2 in. (51 mm) from the end of the cable.

Note: Do not cut the cable with the stripper.

2.Use your fingers to bend the outer jacket back and forth until the jacket breaks off.

3.Cut the spline so that it does not protrude from the outer jacket. Be careful not to nick the wires.

4.Untwist the wires and flatten them until all kinks are removed.

5.Slide 0.25 in. (6 mm) of the outer jacket over the spline.

6.Trim the wires to 1.5 in. (38 mm) from the outer jacket.

7.Arrange the wires in the correct color code sequence according to the T568A pin out configuration.

8.Slide the wires into the RJ45 plug, keeping them in the correct color sequence. The tips of the wires will protrude from the end of the connector.

9.Continue sliding the wires all the way into the plug until about 0.25 in. (6 mm) of the outer jacket is inside the plug. The cable should stop sliding in when the spline touches the connector.

10.Crimp the connector using the EZ RJ45 ratchet-style crimper. The crimper will crimp then cut the wires. Use your fingers to finish breaking off the wires.

Installation Instructions

Cable testing

Verify the installation by doing a cable test for each cable run. Keeping documentation of each test will protect you if a damaged cable is discovered after the sheetrock has been installed. Consult the ANSI EIA/TIA-570-B testing section for the following testing details:

???Continuity testing

???Near-end crosstalk testing

???ANSI EIA/TIA-570-B standard testing

Installer programming
