PART 2
SAMPLE INSTALLATION
This section explains the arrangement of Ovation system components in a basic installation.
1. SINGLE ENTRANCE
An Ovation system controlling a single entrance consists of two system components:
1. The Ovation Controller
The controller is located by the entrance which it controls. It is connected with a 4 twisted pair
cable to the connector board in the first LIB housing.
2. Line Interface Boards (LIBs)
Each LIB controls up to 12 resident telephone lines (therefore a 55 unit building requires 5
LIBs). Every 10 LIBs (or part thereof) are contained within an LIB housing located by the
telephone junction box inside the building. The LIBs are connected in a chain using 8
conductor flat telephone cables with an RJ45 connector on each end. All of the LIBs together
are referred to as the LIB stack.
WARNING
The LIB housing is not weather-proof, and MUST be installed inside a building.
