3.5 | wiring the speakers and emerald ops
Power cables (16 gauge/2 conductor – Plenum Rated)
Data cables (CAT 5e or equivalent – 4 pair – Plenum Rated) – Straight Pin 568B Method
Audio cables (CAT 5e or equivalent – 4 pair – Plenum Rated) – Straight Pin 568B Method
Speaker Cables (CAT 5e or equivalent – 4 pair – Plenum Rated) – Straight Pin 568B Method
PREPARATION
Check site drawing for wiring installation diagram
Use wiring diagram to determine approximate wiring lengths:
Approximately 25’ between speakers (Cat 5e 4 pair)
Approximately 3000’ total Data and Audio cable length
(AE Router needed at that point to extend distance)
IMPORTANT: Double-check for long home runs and runs between floors, as these will
require much longer lengths of wire. Check wiring schematics for your project.
For more detail about system wiring, see Section 3.7 – data and audio cables
POWER CABLES
•
Power cables are plenum-rated, 16-gauge, two conductor cable
•
One power supply powers one Emerald OP
•
A common ground must exist
Between Emerald OP to Emerald OP and/or Emerald OP to Auxillary OP
From the MPI located in the Lencore enclosure to the first Emerald OP
Between floors or Emerald Aux OP
WARNING
NOTE: Do NOT activate power until the Power wires are checked for proper polarity and all
the Emerald OPs are wired for power in a power zone. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!! If proper
polarity is NOT maintained, then irreversible damage to the Emerald OPs will occur.
DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT EMERALD OPs WITH LIVE WIRE
as injury and shock may occur, and damage may be caused to the equipment.
