RE: Clipsal C-Bus2

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

Polaron wiring:

240V star wired, with all wiring taken back to node 0.

LV wiring is a bus topology. Recommended cable is Belden four core, but
if you want to use CAT5 use stranded as the solid can break off inside
the box if you have to replace the control plate. Wire one cable into
the box and one going out into the next box. PC interface needs a
double
back-box if you want to monitor the installation, but the dimmer packs
have a built in interface which can be used for programming.

Tim.
