8:02 TAKE YOUR TIME! YOU COULD NEVER TAKE OUR TIME! Guys like ME appreciate the time you take to educate us on this topic because, believe it or not… ITS HARD TO FIND SOMEONE WILLING TO GIVE OUT THIS INFORMATION FOR “FREE” so thank you For YOUR Time lol 😂🙏🏾
Dude, seriously great video. Well explained and I appreciate the detail and breakdowns! Keep it up! More people are probably benefiting from these videos than you’d imagine.
We usually have accounts with big wiring companies and get discounts because we buy so much cable, examples: EXCEL/ANIXTER/WIRECITY/ELLIOTT ELECTRIC, ETC.
Can you show/explain the drain. Ive been doing low voltage, but don't understand where to ground it- does it connect somewherein the panel. Thank again
@SJ-nl6xl Drain wires are used in cables in conjunction with a metallic shield to ensure effective grounding. The drain wire serves to complete an electrical circuit from the shield and carry unwanted electrical noise to ground away from the circuit. In other words, is so if the wire picks up static, the data traveling through the wire doesn't get interrupted or start acting up when you badge because of high voltage by the area you ran your wire or any other static sources in the pathway.
Yes, drain wires need to connect to Earth ground at the panel. You may be able to connect to the AC earth, but it's not always acceptable to use a common ground between AC and DC power sources. You can run a plain copper conductor out of your panel and connect to a ground rod or water pipe. In the panel, it's best to use a ground bus bar, but you can also just screw into an unpainted cabinet and ground that. Since it's just for signal quality and not for electrical safety, you have a bit of latitude in how you choose to handle it.
I apologize for the late response, after doing some research, one of the way it can be done is by hooking it, to the back plate of the enclosure, I was instructed by a Life Safety Power Supply Specialist and said this would be the most effective way in their enclosure. Or just run a ground cable from the ground from the door enclosure to a terminal block to earth ground all your shield wires. I have been doing this, and I have had no issues with all my installations so far.
@lowvoltageghost888 The drain wire should be connected to battery ground. This is generally a negative or common terminal. If you connect it anywhere else, the shielding won't cancel out stray signals and you would be just as well not connecting it at all.
This video and your other basic access control video just explained everything so well for me! Life saver. Thank you so much!!

Coming up soon buddy coming up soon.
Thank you for training is very good
Glad to hear it was helpful!
Good morning. Can you show the list of where to buy the composite wire
We usually have accounts with big wiring companies and get discounts because we buy so much cable, examples: EXCEL/ANIXTER/WIRECITY/ELLIOTT ELECTRIC, ETC.
A lot of the large locksmithing supply houses carry wire in bulk and by the foot as well as access control hardware in general.
Great video. Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting. So, in an enclosure with 24 card readers, how would you connect all the shields together?
Thank you, brother
No problem I hope it's help.
Thank you boss
You welcome sir.
