Rules for installing the By-me system
1
1. Choosing the wiring cables
Use cables of different colours to distinguish between the different lines of By-me devices during installation. The
cable for Vimar Bus systems (2x0.5mm
2
) is insulated for 400 V nominal voltage to earth and can be routed along
the same ducts as are used to carry category I power cables. In the case of new buildings, it is good policy to
install a separate dedicated duct for the Bus cable. The following table lists the cables that can be used for wiring
the devices in the system.
2. Providing for SPDs
Always make provision for SPDs upstream of the By-me system power supply units to prevent overloads from
damaging the system. As a general rule, the power supply side must be protected using a Class 1 SPD down-
stream of the power meter, a Class 2 SPD after the magneto-thermal protection device, and a Class 3 SPD at
the power supply input.
