12 C3453M-C (5/09)
Table C describes the recommended maximum distances for 24 VAC applications, which are calculated with a 10 percent voltage drop.
(Ten percent is generally the maximum allowable voltage drop for AC-powered devices.)
For example, an enclosure that requires 30 VA and is installed 94 feet (28 m) from the transformer would require a minimum wire gauge of
20 AWG.
Maintenance
Clean the window regularly to maintain picture clarity. Use a soft cloth and a mild, nonabrasive detergent and water.
