It is important to select an appropriate wire size to prevent voltage drop. The table below
indicates the suggested wire sizes.

When stripping the wire, approximately 5.5 mm should be exposed in order to make a good
connection.
Note:
Avoid sources of electric interference capable of inducing noise into the cable.
Communication and signal wiring should be kept separate from power wiring. Four inches should
separate the communications/signal wiring from any low voltage AC or high frequency source.
Ten inches should separate the communications/signal wiring from any high voltage cables. If
communication or signal wiring must cross power wiring, it must cross at a right angle.
