Select Where to Mount Your Tap Use these guidelines to select where to mount your taps.
• There is no spacing requirement between taps; you can install two
adjacent taps using a 75 Ω BNC barrel connector.
Important: If a 75 Ω BNC barrel connector is used, either an intrinsically
safe insulator, or tape with a 500V insulation rating, must be
used to cover exposed metal parts. Use of these items is
necessary for intrinsically safe certification by local agencies.
• Make sure the mounting location is convenient for your cable routing.
• Make sure the mounting location allows your wiring to meet these
requirements:
– In conduit - installation of RG6 Quad Shield type coax cable
conforms to this pull force and bend radius:
For this coax cable: The pull strength
The bend radius
should not exceed: should exceed:
PVC
42.75kg (95lbs)
76.2mm (3.0 in)
FEP
61.65kg (137lbs)
69.9mm (2.75 in)
– Not in conduit - installation of RG6 Quad Shield type coax cable
conforms to this bend radius:
For this coax cable:
The bend radius
should exceed:
PVC
38.1mm (1.5”)
FEP
35.6mm (1.4”)
Tap drop cable
25.4mm (1.0”)
The 1797-EXMK Cable Marking kit is available to clearly mark
drop cables and trunk cables as intrinsically safe.
• Make sure to route your cable in accordance within intrinsically safe
cable routing specifications.
• Do not mount the tap in a position that routes the dropline cable over any
ac power terminals on nearby modules.

9901-5.1 - February 1999
ATTENTION: Do not allow any metal portions of the tap,
such as the universal mounting bracket screws or connectors to
contact any conductive material. This contact could cause noise
on the network.

Mount Your Taps
3
You can mount your ControlNet Ex tap (T-tap or Y-tap):
• to a universal mounting bracket, and then mount the tap and bracket as
an assembly
• through the body holes in the tap using screws, flat washers, and a tie
wrap
Once you have mounted your taps, you can store or discard any unused
universal mounting brackets.
See page 5 for universal mounting bracket and tap mounting dimensions.
Mounting a Tap Using a Universal Mounting Bracket
1. Align the universal mounting bracket with the mounting holes on the tap.
2. Using screws provided with the tap, attach the tap to the universal
mounting bracket.

Use only the screws that are packaged with the tap. They are the proper length and head style.
!
ATTENTION: Do not over tighten the screws. Over
tightening the screws can damage the tap. The applied torque
should be 0.2-0.4 N-m (1-2 ft.-lbs).

ATTENTION: Do not over tighten the screws. Over
tightening the screws can damage the tap. The applied torque
should be 0.2-0.4 N-m (1-2 ft.-lbs). Do not use screws larger
than #8 in these holes.
Important: The suitable fixture can be conductive and/or grounded because
of the electrical isolation provided by these body holes.

Class I, Division 2 Applications
This product is primarily intended for use in intrinsically safe applications.
However, it may be used in Class I, Division 2 applications when the
following requirements are met.
!
ATTENTION: This product cannot be used in an intrinsically
safe environment after it has been exposed to non-intrinsically
safe signals.
Important: The following applies to use of this product in Class I, Division
2 applications only.
When the product is marked with the CSA Hazardous Location marking, it
