Electrical Installation
3.1
Hardware Required
Unitec does not provide connectors for terminating the field-installed wires. These wires will
vary by application but connectors that may be required include:
RJ-45 Modular Plugs (for terminating the CAT-5 network cable).
RJ-11 modular plugs (for terminating the telephone cable)
BNC Connectors (for terminating coaxial cable for the camera options)
3.2
Recommended Tools
In addition to the mechanical mounting of the Portal TI+ unit to the base (and the base to the
concrete), there will be a number of electrical connections that must be made. These
connections will require the use of the following common electrical tools:
Small, thin tipped, straight screwdriver (1/8” tip, for green Phoenix connectors)
Wire strippers (capable of handling 10-23 AWG wire)
Diagonal cutters
Needle nose pliers
Modular plug crimp tool (if CAT 5 or phone lines need to be terminated)
Note:
When performing the installation, it will be helpful use a screwdriver to prop the door
open. There is a hole in the lower right-hand corner of the case near the door for this
purpose.
3.3
General
Before starting, ensure all required wires have been routed to the Portal (as described in the
Site Preparation section). Figure 13 Shows the locations inside the Portal where the field
wires will connect.
