BLE Controller Installation

 

In order to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation the following document has been drawn up.  The primary objective of the document is to establish standards that all installations comply with.

Standards allow for quicker installation time and faster fast turnaround on fault finding. OneSpace  will sign off all completed installations based on the standards listed on this page.

Standard Installation Practice

The following are installation best practices that need to be followed.

  1. All devices are mounted at right angles using a spirit level

  2. All installed cables must be labelled at both sides of the cable​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 Wiring Requirements

  1. Only specified cable or a direct replacement from an alternative vendor must be used

  2. All cable ends must have the following:

    • Ferrules

    • Cable markers as per the assigned number for that cable

    • All unused cable must be cut away

  3. Where multiple cable cores are used for a single connection the cables must be twisted together with a ferrule connecting both at the end.
