PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

Examine installation conditions and notify the Architect/Engineer or Construction Manager of any detrimental conditions before proceeding with work.

3.2 INSTALLATION

• Strictly comply with manufacturer's installation instructions and recommendations. Coordinate installation to ensure proper clearances and prevent electrical hazards.
• Locate panels as indicated on Drawings or directed by the Architect/Engineer.
• Enclosure Mounting: For surface mounting, use designated holes on the rear for wood screws onto a plywood backboard. For recessed mounting, install between studs (16" o.c.), bending side tabs for gypsum board and securing to studs. Adjust depth using embossed marks if gypsum board thickness differs.
• Power Connections: Run AC power to modules requiring it. Remove enclosure knock-out, install a single-gang metal outlet box, and run non-metallic power cable for a 15A, 120VAC receptacle. Connect the ground cable from the enclosure's ground screw to the electrical ground.
• Rough-in telephone, coaxial, security, and control wiring from the enclosure to remote devices.
• Install enclosure hinged cover per manufacturer's instructions.
• Install combo modules, network interface modules, AC power kits, power strip modules, wall plates, and keystone inserts as specified per manufacturer's written instructions.

3.3 CLEANING AND PROTECTION

• Clean exposed surfaces using non-abrasive materials and methods recommended by the manufacturer.
• Protect residential multimedia panels and components until acceptance.

Diagram Descriptions

RJ45 Keystone Insert (Page 9)

The product image shows a black plastic RJ45 Keystone Insert, designed for terminating network cables. It is shown alongside a white plastic tool, likely the Legrand Punch & Go Tool (AC3400) or a similar 110 punchdown tool used for wire termination.

RJ45 Data/Phone Jack Wiring (Pages 10-11)

These diagrams illustrate the TIA568A wiring standard for terminating Ethernet cables into RJ45 jacks. The process involves:

1. Preparation: Stripping the outer jacket of the Ethernet cable and untwisting the wire pairs.
2. Wire Placement: Arranging the individual wires according to the TIA568A color code on the corresponding terminals of the RJ45 jack. The color sequence for TIA568A is typically:
• Pin 1: White/Orange
• Pin 2: Orange
• Pin 3: White/Green
• Pin 4: Blue
• Pin 5: White/Blue
• Pin 6: Green
• Pin 7: White/Brown
• Pin 8: Brown
3. Termination: Using a punchdown tool to firmly seat each wire into its designated terminal on the jack, ensuring a secure connection and cutting off excess wire. The diagrams show the wires being routed to specific color-coded slots on the jack's internal structure before being punched down.

The diagrams are presented in English, French, and Spanish, detailing the same wiring process for data and telephone connections.
