5.2.10 Mounting the Housing without a Back box
The housing can be mounted on a flat surface, without a back box, using four suitable screws in the outer fixing holes, as shown in the illustration below. When the NIRC housing is without a back box the cables should enter and leave the housing through the two knock-outs in the sides of the housing.
Cable
Figure 20. Mounting the NIRC housing without a back box
Caution: Do not distort the NIRC housing when it is mounted with or without a back box. To prevent distortion only mount the NIRC housing on a smooth, level surface and do not overtighten the fixing screws! If the housing is distorted the top section will not fit properly and could fall off.
5.3
Preparing the Room Bus and Power Cables
It is important to prepare the cables appropriately and to guide the wires correctly inside the housing in order to avoid the wires pressing on the printed circuit board which could result in damage and also prevent the top section from closing properly.
The following instructions apply to the room bus cables, the power supply cable and the corridor lamp cables.
5.3.1 Stripping the Outer Jacket of the Cables
The first step is to strip the outer jacket of the cables to a length of 6.0in (150mm), then position the cable in the back box so that only the stripped wires enter the NIRC housing.

Caution: Each room bus requires four wires. If the cable contains more than four wires the excess wires should be carefully stowed in the back box, away from the printed circuit board and other components to avoid electrical faults and safety problems.

Also on the back of the IP room controller printed circuit board there is a set of three identical MAC address labels and a product label which includes the part number and serial number.
The three MAC labels are self-adhesive and can be removed from the printed circuit board. One of the labels should be left on the room controller printed circuit board. The other two can be removed and one can be stuck on the cover of the room controller, so the board can be identified without opening the room controller. The other can be used in a list of all room controller locations, for example, for administration purposes.

Preparing the Wires for the 4-pole Connector Terminal
The 4-pole connector terminal has four terminals with two connection points at each terminal. Each connection point accepts one solid wire of maximum wire size 20 gauge (0.5mm²) (0.8mmØ).
To connect the wires first strip the jacket from the cables and pull the wires through the housing leaving a length of 6in (150mm) free, as described in section 5.3, Preparing the Room Bus and
Power Cables on page 26 . Then strip 0.25in (6.5mm) of the insulation from the end of each wire which is to be connected.
Figure 28. Stripping the wires for insertion in the connection terminal
After stripping the wire to expose 0.25in (6.5mm) of conductor, insert the wire in the appropriate opening of the connection point by pressing the wire firmly into the terminal, as illustrated below.
Note: Each connection point in the connector terminal accepts only one wire. Maximum wire size 24 gauge (0.5mm²) (0.8mmØ).
Figure 29. Inserting a wire in the connection point
Check that a good connection has been made by gently pulling on the wire after it has been inserted.
The wire should stay fixed in the terminal.

Four wires are required for the room bus, passive bus and light relay outputs, so repeat the above illustrated procedure on the remaining three wires.

Disconnecting a Wire from the Connector Terminal
First carefully place the point of a small screw driver (point approximately 0.1in (2.5mm) wide) on the relevant orange colored release key of the connection terminals and press the key in firmly to open the spring-cage connector (1). With the release key pressed in pull the wire from the terminal (2) then remove the screw driver.

The 2-pole connector terminal is used for connecting the 24Vdc power supply when a separate power supply is used. It is also used for the 24Vdc power supply from the room controller to the corridor lamp.
The 2-pole terminal connector has two screw terminals. Each terminal accepts one wire (up to wire size 14 gauge (1.5mm²) (1.4mmØ) or two wires (each up to 18 gauge (1mm²) (1.15mmØ).
Note: The recommended maximum wire size for the teleCARE power supply is 18 gauge
(1mm²) (1.15mmØ).
Preparing the Wires for the 2-pole Connector Terminal
To connect the wires first pull the wires through the housing leaving a length of 6in (150mm) free, as described in section 5.3, Preparing the Room Bus and Power Cables on page 26 . Then strip 0.25 inch (6.5mm) of the insulation from the end of each wire which is to be connected.

Connecting the IP Room Controller Printed Circuit Board
When preparing the wiring for connecting the printed circuit board of the IP room controller make sure that the power supply wires and the room bus wires are stripped of the cable outer jacket and that the wires are long enough, as described in section 5.3, Preparing the Room Bus and Power
Cables on page 26 .
It is best to arrange the wires and cables neatly and securely inside the housing. The power wires and the room buses should be guided around sides of the room controller housing and held in place by the wire holding clips.
The instructions will include the procedures for both the NIRC and the NIRC3 room controller.

NIRC3
The corridor lamp (NICL2) that must be used with the NIRC3 is powered directly from the 5.5V room bus power and does not require a separate 24 volt power connection, therefore the NIRC3 is not equipped with the 24 volt power outputs.
IMPORTANT: Because the NIRC3 does not have 24V power outputs, the corridor lamp (NICL) should not be connected to the NIRC3. Only connect corridor lamps (NICL2) to the NIRC3 room buses.
5.5.3 Connecting the Room Bus
The room bus uses a 4-pole connection terminal as described in section 5.4.1 on page 31 . The connection point on the room controller circuit board for the room bus is shown in section 5.3.2 on page 28.

LED Lamp Boards
The LED lamp board contains four high intensity LED lamps which are used in the corridor lamp of the room controller and corridor lamp. The three pins in the back side of the board are used to connect the LED lamp board through holes in the back side of the room controller or corridor lamp printed circuit board. The room controller and the corridor lamp each accept up to four LED lamp boards.
Figure 46. LED lamp board front and back view
Note: The LED lamp boards are not delivered as part of the IP room controller and therefore, must be ordered separately.
The LED lamp board is available in five colors: red, green, yellow, white and blue. The LEDs are used for the signaling of various types of call, as well as staff presence and faults. The functions of the LEDs are determined by the system setup.
The color of the LEDs is determined during manufacture and cannot be changed. A resistor on the component side (front) of the board indicates the color of the LEDs, as shown in the following illustration:
White
Red
Green
Yellow
Blue
Figure 47. LED lamp boards: white, red, green, yellow and blue
The LED lamp boards can be plugged into any of the LED connection points on the room controller board and the corridor lamp but it is normal to have each color in the same position in every room controller board. The functioning of the LEDs colors is determined by the system setup.
