Can I use cat 8 telephone wire to mount controller in the house? How many strands of wire will it take as I am using 2 already for the pool comtrolle

If you want all the technical information, go to Pentair's web site. There you can download all the manuals and spec documents. With these you can check all your connection capabilities.Mark C.

I did not need anything other than 110 VAC from controller to light. It controls it by switching power to light in certain sequences causing light to operate with different programs or colors as the controller dictates. Note that light allows this to be done manually but it is ridiculous to turn the switch on and off 12 times to get a certain color etc. Controller does that for you.

Yes, it supports all 8 wires. The four towers you see pictured support four wires each. So one cat5 cable enters one end of the box and runs to the two towers on that end with four wires on each tower. Then the other cat5 cable enters the other end of the box and runs to the two towers on that end with four wires to each tower. All punch-downs are color-coded to the wires' colors as well.

The Answer to this question is.....DEPENDS.....did you run a telephone cable to the other rooms? If yes, then the answer is Yes. If no, then the answer is no.It handle up to 4 incoming lines then you may distribute as you see fit using the other 6 ports.

This controller has a relay controlled by the alarm set points. So you could control a 120 VAC contactor coil but then you wouldn't have an available alarm function. Unless you then used the main SSR channel to then control an alarm but this ass-backwards. Better to find a controller with double relay channels or just go with the SSR. I suppose you could use an SSR to control a contactor coil but this getting unnecessarily complicated.

You can buy as many as 16 TrendNet TPL-401E units to meet the needs of devices you are trying to connect via 'Ethernet' in rooms that don't actually have Ethernet ports. One will connect to your modem and the rest in rooms that don't have Cat. 5 ports. As for your TVs, if they do not have Ethernet ports, then I'm not sure how you can connect the Ethernet cables. But if they do, then your are good to go. Make sure you use the provided installation cd to install the utility on your computer and you can register it as well. There is a newer model TPL-406 but that is a limited one where it expands to only 7 devices. I would go with the TPL-401E which transmits 500Mbps up to a range of 300 meters (984 ft.). It is very important to understand that all you electrical outlets need to be on the same electrical circuit. Sometimes 2 story homes have two separate circuits, in which case if the modem in on the lower level and the upper level of the home is on a separate circuit, the connection bridge will not work. Hope this helped, good luck.

We returned this due to the fact that our pool switch(cicra1989) only had two of the three needed connector wires. We just use the manual switch bs the pre programmed and it works fine

The short answer is: A pair of alligator clips to connect the wires to the battery. If you or a friend have any mechanical ability at all, it is easy. You get 40' of wire that becomes 20' because you run two conductors, a positive and a negative. You will cut the desired length of wires to run from the panel to the controller. The wire remaining will be used to go from the controller to the battery. The terminals on the panel, the controller and the battery are clearly marked as to what goes where. (I used a piece of red tape to mark the hot (positive) wire at all ends. (the wires are all black.) This system is superb. We use two batteries and have all the power we need in our RV. (Lights, pump, tv, computers.) We are thrilled with it. (The price is unbelievable. $600 in RV stores) If I can be of any other help please don't hesitate to holler: Ivor ivorthomas316@aol.com

Yes, I have my telo installed next to my router mainly for that reason .. that is where my house phone wire comes as well. I use a wired phone (with 3 wireless handsets) with Ooma, as well as use two of their HD2 wireless handsets from Ooma. What you don't get from Ooma is true two line support of house wired phones. At this time (they keep hinting that it might change) they only support a singe pair of house wires. So if you have two line phones (as I do) don't expect the 2nd line to work. That is what I use one of the HD2's for. Hope they improve this area.

Yes up to eight. Link the either back to the first unit or in a ring configuration. Use the ip over electric house wiring for greater through put. Also understand the network naming convention; all unit need to have the same name as the network.

I can not say for sure. But the Champion tech people can answer any question you have. The system is so easy to wire that you will not have any problems.

This cable will not work for any home or office computer connections. You need an 8pin cable wired for ethernet CAT 5 or 6 with RJ45 caonnectors. This is a special cable for business and hobby applications. In business this is for machines like the card swipe machine.

Looking at it, it appears to support all eight conductors, and have only used it with CAT5 cable with good results over my network and internet. Not much help beyond that, sorry...

None, you have to acquire three conductor antenna controller cable separately on your own.

Well, I used 18-2 thermostat wire since I wanted the absolute best precision from this sensor. This type of thermostat wire is not very expensive. I would recommend it, especially if it will be long and coming close to other electrical wires (as in most homes). Definitely don't use phone wire I think, you'd have too much impedance loss.

Hi you can use 1/2 inch carflex or 1/2 inch cable clamps and run conduit from your "time clock" or "circulation pump switch's load connection" to the unit, and use 12 guage wires for power. (excess pool light cable works a treat) and remember it is factory wired for 220 volts. connect the wires with wire nuts on unit end pull on wires to make sure they are tight, wrap in electrical tape and connect solid copper ground from units chassis to your pool ground.

one time I heard that a simple telephone extension cable would work that has 6 wires in the assembly but I'm not for sure.
