Frequently asked questions
What safety precautions must be taken before installing the NStar system?
Disconnect all external power sources, verify that the supply voltage is within the required range, do not power the system before installation, ensure proper grounding, and follow local fire‑safety regulations.
What cable types and lengths are recommended for power and communication lines?
Use 18 AWG shielded twisted‑pair for the main power (16.5 VAC, 50 VA), a 15 m RS‑232 cable, and a 24 AWG shielded twisted‑pair RS‑485 cable up to 1200 m.
How far can the controller be from the door lock without voltage loss?
The controller should be no more than 20 meters from each controlled door to maintain proper lock voltage.
Which type of electric lock does Honeywell recommend for the NStar system?
Honeywell recommends using DC‑powered electric locks with electromagnetic protection, such as the S‑4 protector.
