The positioning of the electric distribution board must be
decided based on the type of building. The most suitable
position of the distribution board should be agreed with the
installer (unless already installed). Let’s now consider the
following types of homes:
The switchboard or house automation panel
Positioning of distribution board
Irrespective of the type of wiring set-up, star system or free, to
achieve integration of the various My Home Legrand systems,
all the active (power supplies, interfaces etc) or passive devices
must be grouped together in a central location, from where all
their functions may be controlled and managed.
This location is effectively the “brain” of the whole house
automation system of the building. Its size shall be defined taking
into account the following general requirements:
• Allow for extra space for expansion with new devices that may
be needed for future needs.
• If power supplies are used, these must be installed in the
lowest position of the switchboard, to facilitate any thermal
dissipation.
• Select a switchboard capable of dissipating a power higher
than the total of the power consumed by all devices that will be
installed.

Install one distribution board (or general cabinet) inside a technical
room dedicated to the house automation systems, where all DIN rail
devices should be centralised.
