Where should I install the socket clusters?
You will already have discussed with the sales department the quantity
of socket clusters required usually 24 x single gang each fitted with
2 RJ45 sockets. The positioning of these sockets will be the responsibility
of the homeowner or builder but we recommend they be positioned near to
the power points.
What cables do I require?
The Cat 5e cable will normally be supplied by IP Homenet™ as part
of the quote and will be sent out to the installation address on the date
specified for the installation.
Who installs the cables?
The Electrical contractor or our engineers can install the cables,
using the latest ratified installation guidelines and regulations.
All the installed cables will be sited 300mm away from the mains cables
to avoid interference and comply with IEE and TIA regulations.
IP Homenet™ recommend in order to achieve this that these cables
should be laid after the mains wiring is installed.
Where do I install the cables for the Satellite and
Aerial?
For digital, terrestrial and future television reception, we recommend
installing 5 coaxial cables from the loft to the Console. These cables
should be individually labelled and have enough spare length to reach
the south-east side of the house with 5 metres of spare cable for termination
purposes and should be cabled back to the Iphomenet console leaving 2
metres coiled up for connection to the required devices.
Do I require trunking, conduit or capping for the
cables?
It is relatively easy to install cables around the house. In a timber
frame house the cables are installed before the internal wallboards are
installed. In a brick and block house trunking or ducting should be installed/laid
in the floor screed or walls.
What kind of back box do I require?
Each socket cluster will require a single gang back box. The back box
must be suitable for the type of mounting or fixing surface and usually
supplied by the electrician.
Where and how is the console fixed and what are its
dimensions?
The console should be housed in a place where it can be fixed to a solid
brick or timber wall i.e. utility cupboard or garage. The dimensions of
the cabinet are 800mm high, 330mm in width and 170mm in depth. We recommend
that the immediate area around the sides of the console should be free
to add/connect additional technology in the future.
How are the cables presented to the console?
The cables should be presented to the console enclosed in 2-compartment
trunking from the top \ bottom of the console leaving 2 metres coiled
up ready for termination.
Do I require power to the console?
We recommend that a minimum of 8 x 13amp Anti-Surge protection points
be installed for connectivity of the system and additional equipment.
With developing technology and additional modules you may decide to increase
this figure for future expansion.
How long does it take to complete the work?
We estimate on a standard installation to install the cables on the first
fix should take approximately two days. The second fix includes connections
and testing of the system and should take about a day.
How do I use the system?
On completion of the installation the manuals will explain how to utilise
the Console and the AV Hub system. The latest manuals can be downloaded
HERE
for your perusal.
How does the Television I.R. Receptor work?
When viewing a television channel or watching remotely connected devices
such as DVD, Video, Sky, Cable, CCTV, or automation units etc. you need
to be able to control the devices connected to the console hub. The I.R.
receptor collects the signal from your remote controls within a 4mtr range
x 60°H x 30°V, of any television and is transported back to the
hub via the cat5 cable. The I.R. signal is then routed to each device
via emitter enabling full control.
