I'm kitting out a new office space in my house to include a data network, entertainment via ceiling speakers and some automation (control lighting and blinds etc). I have a node zero type of cupboard in the room where all the cables converge.
Currently I have an X10 dimming module (LD11) to dim the 8 LV halogens (total load 400w) and need a DIN rail enclosure for the automation modules (dimming and so on), can anyone recommend something suitable?
Note that I have already tried an X10-specific enclosure (8 way) but my electrician wanted to bring the 8 lighting cables into proper terminals, and the X10 enclosure was not available with any kind of terminal bar.
Also I'm confused by the terminology used for the terminal bars with these enclosures, for example:
"5 x 16 + 6 x10mm(squared)
13 connections"
Can someone please help explain what this means?
And for an LD11 dimming module, what size type/size of terminal bar would I need (given 8 lighting cables coming into the module) ?
I'm just using X10 to get started, I may upgrade to something more robust in the future e.g. Clipsal so the enclosure does not have to be X10 specific (and probably shouldn't be).
Thanks for any help you can offer.
