Power Supply
The ACTentry A5 kit comes with a 15V 800mA DC power

The connections to the 240Vac mains supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician and made in accordance with
accepted safety practices.

Cable Requirements:
For optimum speech clarity, it is strongly recommended that the ACTentry A5 system is installed
using CAT5 cable or equivalent. For external use it is recommended to use external rated CAT 5
or equivalent.
The maximum distance between the Entry Panel and Intercom is 200m.
One CAT5 core is suitable for all signal wires (CALL, R, T, DOOR 1 and DOOR2).
Power cables (+VIN and 0V) require doubling up on runs of 100m and 200m.
Please use the table below as a guide.

Example: For 50m distance from Entry Panel to Intercom, 6 cores are required. For 100m
distance, 8 cores are required, 2 for +VIN, 2 for 0V. Signals require one core each.
