Network Wiring Requirements
• Use Stranded Twisted Pair, CAT5e (or higher grade) shielded cable
• Minimum 24 AWG (0.5mm) cross section
• Route wires as far away as possible from high voltage AC cables, fluorescent lights, arc
welders, and other equipment that transmits EMI (electromagnetic interference).
For 370 Fans:
• Ground the shielding and drain wire at only one point of the cable run
• Add Repeaters/Isolators (1/5fans)
Daisy Chain
Networked MacroAir fans must be connected in one single line, referred to in this document as a
“daisy chain”. The characteristics of a proper daisy chain are: one beginning (AirLynk) and one
end (last fan).
If the fans are not connected in one line/chain there will be a de-graduation of the
communication signal and the network may not function as intended (fans in the network may
not operate).
