examples of installations

[znelbok]

As I have indicated in my introduction this forum, I am a tinkerer for this stuff and as such I don't get to see examples of installations.

It would be great if people could post photos and talk about any special functionalitiy they have added, as well as how they have integrated the c-bus with other systems/products not from the clipsal range.

Yep,
Good call. trouble is that most integrators are too anally retentive to give the time of day let along discuss their top secret projects.

I'll get out the digital and snap a few installs. Should be a good topic with plenty examples.

Cheers

what is the method that you use to connect all the channels up on a 12 channel voltage free relay. Daisy chain all the "A" ports, use an active link or distribute from the RCD/MCB.

The screw holes do not look large enough to handle the cable size required for all channels to be on (ie two cables per screw hole).

I would expect 2 x 1.5mm wire to fit, but when there is the possibility of 10A/ch, you can effectively have 120A needed (not likely).

All good questions. And firstly sorry for the late reply. We usually use tunnel terminals for our cables. Just makes it easy to terminate into the appalling connections currently supplied with the relays and dimmers. We have used all of your suggestions, but seem to prefer a single wire if its a 2.5mm and then use a link or connector, or if its 1.5mm we usually loop between. Also depends on the load of course.

Hope that helps.
