Figure 1 shows a simple lighting installation using the Rako Wired system.
The system uses CAT5 cable to provide power and data to the Wallplates.
The Wallplate power is provided by a power supply that is fitted inside the RAKLink.
When a Wallplate button is pressed it sends commands to the RAKLink.
The RAKLink decides to which RAK4 channels the commands should be sent.
The RAKLink connects to the RAK4’s through RJ45 cables which are electrically
separate from the CAT5 cabling.
The CAT5 cable, Wallplates and RAKLink form a Data Network.
The network is a single cable to which devices are attached along it’s length.
Each end of the cable must be terminated to make it work properly.
The Wallplates and the RAKLink are provided with termination jumpers.
In figure 1: Wallplate 1 and the RAKLink are at each end of the cable, so these must
have their termination jumpers fitted.
Wallplates 2, 3, 4 must not have termination jumpers fitted.
