IP Address Range


No CAT5 cable shall exceed
300ft in length. If runs that
exceed 300ft are required,
either a fiber network is
needed or a CAT5 repeater.
Will the lighting network be
dedicated or connected to the

Change Requests
MWS Wiring
User Input Forms/Sequence of
Operations
DETAILS
Ensure the EC is working
from our DALI design. They
will often work directly from
ENG drawings which do not
have all the necessary
details.
When multiple revisions are
required, it is critical that
the latest version is being
used for the install.
Ensure there have been no
change orders which have
been issued to EC but not
incorporated in the latest
DALI design.
Review modular wiring
system (if applicable) with
EC to ensure correct
installation.
Discuss the user input forms
that have been provided to
ensure design team receives
the most up to date
requirements regarding
schedules and sequences of
operation.
