For wire runs over 150’, it is recommended to run an additional 16 AWG/2 conductor wire from
the head-end location to the Touch Pad locations. This will allow the AUX POWER OUT terminals
to supply additional power to the Touch Pads to compensate for the additional distance. For
wire runs over 300’, 16 AWG/2 conductor wire is required. The maximum wire run using Cat-5
and 16 AWG/2 conductor is 600’. Make all connections between the DH46X and the DHTP1
Amplifi ed Touch Pad as previously described, then make the aux power connections described
below.
To make connections:
Ensure that system power is OFF!
Strip the ends of the 16 AWG wire 1/4" on both ends of the wire run.
Remove the terminal strip from the AUX POWER OUT connector on the DH46X.
Loosen the screws for the appropriate zone’s terminal pairs on the terminal strip.
Insert the wires into the terminal strip, paying close attention to polarity (+/-).
Tighten the screws on the terminal strip.
Remove the terminal strip from the PWR IN connector of the DHTP1.
Loosen the screws on the DHTP1’s PWR IN terminal.
Insert the wires into the terminal, paying close attention to polarity (+/-).
Tighten the screws on the DHTP1’s PWR IN terminal.
Connect the terminal strip back onto the AUX POWER OUT connector on the DH46X
