Making The connections

Recommended Wiring

Showstopper 4 Accessory Cable

The cable must have at least 6 twisted pairs (12 conductors) of 20AWG (20/6 STP). Here are a few purchasing options:

• Quabbin PLTC3-20-8S-1

• Igus CF211-05-06-02

• LAPP 302006STP

• MultiCable L8020-6PS

Network Cable

Each network port requires a dedicated, home run Ethernet connection. Almost any CAT5E or CAT6+ solid conductor cable is acceptable. A foil shield is not necessary, but is also acceptable.

Here are two options:

• Belden 1585A or similar

• Belden 4812 or similar

• Belden 4813 or similar

• Belden 2413F or similar

PCB Pass Through vs Terminated

Control Point are made so that you can easily expand your automation system. Each faceplate can be wired as either a “home run” back to the Showstopper Accessory output, or it can be wired in series with other Control Connections or Showstopper Remote E-Stops -though, The Control Point must be the last device in the series.

All three terminal blocks, top (J1), middle (J2) and bottom (J3), are electrically bonded, so it does not make a difference which ones are used as inputs versus outputs. Our recommended termination pattern is as follows:

J1: Input from previous connection or Showstopper Accessory output

J2: Factory installed wiring

J3: Factory installed wiring
