Linear DMC1 Finish-Out Instructions

Press-on Connector Cable Termination
1. Gather all room, patio, and Door Station cables together and cut them
to the same length leaving approximately 12 inches entering into the
wall housing. BE SURE THAT THE CABLES REMAIN LABELED.
✔ IMPORTANT: Verify all cable run locations prior to connecting if they
were not labeled at rough-in. Incorrectly connecting cables to the
Master Station, Room Stations, or Door Stations may result in system
damage.
2. Strip back the outer insulation jacket of the room and Patio Station
Cat-5 cables 2 inches to expose the four color coded twisted wire pairs
inside (see Figure 10). DO NOT STRIP THE INDIVIDUAL TWISTED
PAIRS OF WIRE. The connectors have internal sharp edge insulation
displacement wire guides that cut through the insulation on the
copper wires when the connector’s wire latches are snapped closed.
3. Open the four clear plastic wire latches on a connector (see Figure 11).
4. Observing the color code label on the connector, insert a wire pair
(solid color wire and wire with the same color stripe) completely into
the two wire holes in the clear plastic wire latch for that pair color (see
Figure 11). BE SURE THE WIRES ARE COMPLETELY INSERTED.
5. Hold the wires completely inserted while pressing down fi rmly on the
clear plastic wire latch. The latch will click twice as the wires are being
seated into the internal insulation displacement wire guides. See
Figure 11. VERIFY THAT THE TAB ON THE CONNECTOR BODY IS
INSIDE THE TAB SLOT ON THE CLEAR PLASTIC WIRE LATCH.
6. Repeat Steps 4 & 5 for the other three wire pairs on the cable. Check
each wire’s connection by gently pulling on the wire. With a good
connection, the wire will not pull out of the connector (see Figure 12).
7. Repeat Steps 2-6 for each of the Cat-5 cables.
✔ NOTE: If the connector is re-opened, and any wire is removed from
the connector, cut the cable back and start over.
