The network wiring should be installed to meet BS 5839: Part 1 and BS 7671 (Wiring Regulations) and/or
other national standards of installation where pertinent - see ‘cable types & limitations’, page 4.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT 2-CORE SCREENED, ENHANCED FIRE-RESISTANT CABLE ≥1 MM

NETWORK WIRING.
At each network driver card, connect A to A, B to B and terminate incoming and outgoing screens to
terminal C only as shown below.
At ONE network driver card only, connect A to A, B to B and terminate screens to the panel’s base
earth distribution post as shown below.
Note: DIP switch (SW1) on the network driver card has no function when used with this panel.
However, all networked CAST XFP main panels require a unique ID number (1 to 8) assigning.
To assign this number and set up network comms, see NETWORK FUNCTIONS page 22 for details.
