Cable routing

The routing of the cable is up to the person installing the cables as long as they conform to standard requirements for cable pulling, this including:

  1. The CAT5 cables for Hausmate hardware should not be longer than 40m, e.g. CAT5 cables to SUs (Sensor Units), RUs (Relay Units), HAZEs (Haze encoders), ENCs (Encoders) and any remote/auxilary sensors.
  2. Minimum manufacturers bend radius's are not exceeded, maximum manufacturers ‘pull force’ is not exceeded.
  3. Data cable runs (e.g. CAT5, Coax...) are kept a minimum of 300mm apart from 'low voltage' cables (e.g 230Vac mains) except where they have to cross each other which should be done as close to right-angles as possible.
  4. The mains lighting cables conform to the 'voltage drop' requirements of the 'wiring regs'  (BS7671 published by the IEE / IET)
  5. The 'wiring regs' (BS7671, current issue) and other safety regulations are adhered to wherever relevant.
  6. This schedule only contains the cables for the Hausmate control system. It does not include the cables for standard ring mains, cookers, hobs, electric showers, door/gate access systems, incoming supply and earthing and other cables not directly related to the Hausmate system..
  7. Installer/client will need to supply all cables, connectors and non-Hausmate related hardware. This includes Internet Service Provider (ISP) modem (normally in the ISP supplied Router), light fittings, Wireless Access Points (WAP), RJ45 connectors for CAT5 and CAT6 cables, all faceplates and electrical fittings including 'rocker' light switches, faceplates and buttons/knobs for all encoders and Haze’s, 13A sockets, 5A lighting sockets, TV points, Network Access Points (NAP – RJ45 wall sockets), audio amplifiers, audio and TV decoders/set-top boxes, TVs, speakers etc.
  8. Installer will need to test and certify all 'low voltage' (mains 230Vac) wiring as per the current issue of the wiring regulations (BS7671). As each lighting circuit can be fed from a different dimmer circuit with its own MCB, this can lead to a high number of circuits to be tested!
  9. Rocker switches on CAT5 cables are powered by 5Vdc. This means that they are safe to have inside bathrooms and WCs.
  10. The wiring schedule includes cables for all the Hausmate system including

    • lighting
    • extractor fans
    • light 'rocker switches', encoders, dimmers and HAZE dimmers
    • Hausmate infrastructure 

If the customer has purchased the "full design" package, then the wiring schedule also includes cables for:

    • Network Access Points (NAPs)
    • Wireless Access Points (WAPs)
    • TV cables 
    11. If the client / designer cannot give exact dimenstion for bedside switch placement, then these guidelines could be used. Note: These are only guidelines, they come with a "government health warning" and Hausmate accepts no liability if the client is not satisfied.

When setting out light switches on either side of the bed, bear in mind the width of the bed and allow 150mm extra space from the side of the bed to the centre of the switch. This is to accommodate the bed-frame size and not-exact bed positioning. For double/king/super-king allow 150mm each side. Place centre of switches ~ 800mm above finished floor level so that they are above most bedside furniture, but are still reachable when lying in bed.(most bedside furniture is between 500 and 700mm high). Standard UK Bed sizes are (W x L)
  • Small single - 75 cm x 190 cm (2' 6'' x 6' 3'')
  • Single  -  90 cm x 190 cm (3' 0'' x 6' 3'')
  • Small-double  -  120 cm x 190 cm (4' 0'' x 6' 3''
  • Double  -  135 cm x 190 cm (4' 6'' x 6' 3'')
  • Kingzise  -  150 cm x 200 cm (5' 0'' x 6' 6'')
  • Super kingsize  -  180 cm x 200 cm (6' 0'' x 6' 6'')

    12. If the client / designer cannot give exact dimenstion for bedside reading lights, then these guidelines could be used. Note: These are only guidelines, they come with a "government health warning" and Hausmate accepts no liability if the client is not satisfied.
aWhen setting out bedside ‘reading’ wall lights, the bottom of the light should be 1600mm above finished floor level so as to be above most bed headboards and above head height for someone sitting in bed leaning against the headboard. Place the light ~200mm in from the side of the bed, so that it shines over the readers shoulder and the reading material is not in the shadow created by the readers head. See above for standard UK bed sizes.



Cable labels

  • We recommend that the cables are labelled using fine tip marker pens at the first fix (wire pulling – putting the cables into the fabric of the building). Hausmate will supply 2 fine tip marker pens with the wiring schedules.
  • At the  second fix, the cables are cut to final length and terminated in fixtures and fittings. We recommend you fit the supplied cable labels at this point so that they can be located in their final position and are not lost on the cut off end of a cable that is shortened at second fix. The cable labels do not reposition very well. 
  • Cable labels are the ‘wrap-around’ type. They should be fitted near the end of the cable allowing a suitable amount of space for the cable to be stripped back at the second fixing. Cable labels should wrap around the cable with the printed part of the label applied first and the clear part of the label wrapping around and over the printed part to protect the print from being rubbed off. 
  • If the cable has a small diameter (e.g. single core wire) fit the label as a ‘flag’ i.e. the printed section starts on the cable but is kept flat, the clear part of the label then folds back behind the printed section and then around the wire to wrap over the printed section. The label for each cable shows a cable start point, a cable finish. As with all the documentation, the labels use the ‘Hausmate naming convention’ to identify the ends of the cables.
  •  If a cable is used for 2 functions then put both labels next to each other on the same cable e.g. fire alarm panel alarm and fault outputs will usually be in the same multi-core cable.


Trunking

It is a good idea to use trunking to keep the cables tidy and hide any excess cable especially in the wiring centres. Better not to cut cable exactly to length in case they need to be re-routed in future and might then need extending. Alternatively fix a sheet of wood (e.g. plywood or OSB) to the wall, spaced off the wall by 75mm using 75x50mm timbers. Ensure timbers are not continuous so that cables can be run/pulled behind the sheet both vertically and horizontally.


Second fix notes
Installer should have available for each install:

  •  The cables will have been ‘pulled’ and labelled using marker pens during ‘first fix’. Fit the label for each cable at the second fix - it shows a cable start point and a cable finish point. This is coded using the ‘Hausmate Naming Convention’. The labels are printed so that the current location is at the top.
  • The routing of the cable is up to the person installing the cables and should conform to standard requirements for cable pulling. A schedule was provided for Hausmate control system related cables, but did not include other cables e.g. for ring mains, cooker points, electric showers, intruder alarms, gate access systems etc.
  • Installer/client will need to supply non-Hausmate related hardware. This includes Internet Service Provider (ISP) modem (normally in their supplied router), light fittings, Wireless Access Points (WAP), RJ45 connectors for CAT5 and CAT6 cables, all faceplates and electrical fittings including 'rocker' light switches, faceplates and buttons/knobs for all encoders and Haze encoders, 13A sockets, 5A lighting sockets, TV points, Network Access Points (NAP), audio amplifiers, audio and TV decoders/set-top boxes, TVs, speakers etc.

  • Extractor fans will need isolation switches for maintenance purposes as per BS7671. Extractors only have a switched live, neutral and earth (no permanent live) as they are independently controlled i.e. not on same circuit as lights.
  • Installer will need to test and certify all 'low voltage' (mains 230V) wiring as per the current issue of the wiring regulations - BS7671.
  • Rocker switches and Hazes on CAT5 cables are powered by 5Vdc. This means that they are safe to have in bathrooms.
  • Behind TVs it is recommended that at least one double 13A socket is fitted with USB charging ports as more and more TV add-ons are powers by USB.
