CAT-5 Connection
The UNO-TS2 Touchscreen uses a 110-punchdown
terminal to provide a simple installation and strong
connection for CAT-5 cable’s eight conductors.
Punchdown terminals require the use of a punchdown
tool. Attach the CAT-5 cable to the 110-punchdown
terminal on the UNO-TS2 touchscreen as shown,
matching the conductor colors to the connection
color guide. The keypad will not operate properly if
the terminations deviate from the required connection
order.
Take care when using an impact 110 punchdown tool,
as this may overspread the contact points. Use of the
impact tool may propel stray bits of wire and jacket into
the keypad’s chassis and possibly cause a short in the
circuitry. Gently shake or blow air through the keypad
chassis to remove stray wire before the keypad is
installed into the junction box.
Keypad Wiring
For the UNO touchscreen, the following connections
are used to terminate the CAT-5 wire to the RNET 110
punchdown on the touchscreen:
CAT-5 WIRE COLOR TYPE
Brown ......................................................+12V
Brown/White ............................................+12V
Green ..................................................Ground
Green/White ......................................Status In
Orange ................................................Ground
Orange/White ........................................IR Out
Blue ......................................................COM A
Blue/White ............................................COM B
RJ-45 Connections
The CAT-5 T568A wiring standard is used for RJ-45 ter-
minations.
Installation Considerations
The best infrared remote performance is achieved with
the touchscreen away from any direct sunlight, plasma
TV, and low voltage lighting controls. Also consider con-
venience when choosing a location.
• The maximum recommended wire run length is 250
feet for each UNO touchscreen.
• Make sure that the entire wire path between key-
pads and the controller is clear and not obstructed by
a floor ceiling joist, or masonry wall which can’t be
drilled through.
• Confirm ahead of time that you can drill an outlet
hole easily and in an unobtrusive spot to connect
wires with the controller.
• Label wires with keypad and room location. This
simplifies connections once the keypads and speak-
ers are installed.
OS Update Port
The OS Update Port is is used to update the UNO-TS2
touchscreen operating system software in the future.
When an update is released, it will be available online
through the Document Center at
