      Description

      The Clare Touchpanel Power Extension Kit provides a simple way to extend your touchpanel’s power supply length up to 200ft. Follow the below instructions to extend the reach of your touchpanel.  

      Note: This kit replaces the original power supply.

      Unpacking the extender kit

      Remove all contents from the kit’s packaging and ensure you have the following items.

      • 1 × CC-18v12w - 18 volt 12 watt power supply with a custom snap wiring connector
      • 1 × CC-18v-5v - 5 volt regulator cable assembly

      Notes

      • You will need a CAT 5 or better cable.
      • An RJ-45 connector is not required, the kit is designed to snap onto the wires.

      WARNING: You must follow the instructions below to extend your touchpanel’s power supply. Failure to do so may result in bodily injury and/or damage to the equipment.

      Installation

      Select a location in the home for the touchpanel, and then install the extender kit.

      To install the device:

      1. After selecting the mounting location of the panel, ensure there is a wall opening large enough to insert the CC-18v-5v cable assembly.

      We recommend no less than a ⅞ in. or 22 mm diameter opening in wall space.

      2. Select the desired location for the power supply.

      3. Run the CAT 5 cable from the panel mount location to the power supply.

      4. Cut the shielding on the CAT 5 cable by ½ to ¾ in., inserting the four wires according to their marked colors into their power supply.

      5. Press the clamps down until the tabs on the side click into place.

      WARNING: Not clamping the connector down properly could lead to improper/poor charging and damage to the panel.

      6. At the panel mount location, cut the shielding on the CAT 5 by ½ to ¾ in., and then insert the four wires according to their marked colors into their corresponding connectors on the cable assembly.

      7. Press the clamp down until the tabs on the side click into place.

      WARNING: Not clamping the connector down properly could lead to improper/poor charging and damage to the panel.

      The charger is now fully functional.

      Plug the charger into the wall and the cable assembly into the touchpanel, verifying that the screen turns on before making final changes or inserting the cable assembly into the wall.
