Maximum distance from transformer to load
Table B. 24 VAC Wiring Distances
The following are the recommended maximum distances for 24 VAC applications and are
calculated with a 10-percent voltage drop. (Ten percent is generally the maximum allowable
voltage drop for AC-powered devices.)

Total vA consumed
EXAMPLE:
An enclosure
that requires 80 vA and is
installed 35 feet (10 m) from
the transformer would re-
quire a minimum wire gauge
of 20 Awg.
NOTE:
Distances are cal-
culated in feet; values in pa-
rentheses are meters.
Table C. Video Coaxial Cable Wiring Distances
Cable Type* Maximum Distance
RG59/U 750 ft (229 m)
RG6/U 1,000 ft (305 m)
RG11/U 1,500 ft (457 m)
* Minimum cable requirements:
75 ohms impedance
All-copper center conductor
All-copper braided shield with 95% braid coverage
OPERATION
The enclosure has a thermostatically controlled heater, that is set to turn on at 50°F (10°C)
and turn off at 80°F (27°C). The defroster operates continuously.
MAINTENANCE
Regularly scheduled maintenance prolongs the operational life and appearance of the
equipment. Clean the window regularly with a soft cloth using a mild, nonabrasive detergent
and water to maintain picture clarity.
