Introduction
Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES) are intended to control devices on networks
supporting HBES Class 1 applications (simple control and command) according to CENELEC
R205-004.
HBES may be installed in homes and buildings together with other networks. In the past the
different networks have been installed independently, usually by different installers. Such
separated systems are only widely accepted by the user when the implementation is simple and
the cost of installation is low.
One of the primary functions of HBES is to control mains powered devices and therefore in
particular the cabling for HBES needs to coexist with the mains distribution network and needs to
follow the mains installation rules. Consequently, this document contains description of
coexistence of HBES Class 1 Twisted Pair and other networks concerning electrical safety and
EMC matters.
1 Scope
This standard provides common rules for the planning and engineering as well as installation of
HBES cabling systems taking into account the layout of the cable support, cables and connectors,
and the commissioning of HBES.
It applies to HBES networks installed according to the legal boundaries of the electrical utilities
additionally.
The assessment of an installation shall be based on this standard and CLC/TS 50090-9-2.
Rules for co-existence of HBES Class 1 cabling with mains power, and other networks (i.e. those
covered by EN 50173 series, EN 50174 series, EN 50083 series) are also specified.
This part of EN 50090 recommends one specific implementation but allows any solution which
supports the required HBES functionality without disturbing, or being disturbed by, other
application systems or networks.
This part of EN 50090 is also intended as a predisposition and pre-cabling guide-line for Twisted
Pair Class 1.
This document concerns only HBES Class 1 application supported by Twisted Pair (TP) media,
and coexistence with HBES Class 2 (Class 1 plus simple voice and stable picture transmission),
HBES Class 3 (Class 2 plus complex video transfers, e.g. CAT V, and IT) and power networks.
Network coexistence is ensured by infrastructure (see 5.2) and installation requirements.
This document applies specifically to the installation of copper cables.
Power line carrier, and optical fibre communication are outside the scope of this document.
The environmental conditions of EN 50090-2-2 apply to enclosure, connectors and generally to all
Twisted Pair HBES devices of the installation.

4 Aspects of system and cabling
An HBES cabling system can be installed on residential premises as well as in other buildings. It
is designed to support the new construction, extension or retrofitting of buildings.
An appropriate design of a HBES network shall pay attention to the following factors: size,
infrastructure and purpose of the building (home, commercial or light industrial environment),
whether it is a new or an existing building and the type of occupancy of the building.
Depending on the application specification, the cabling for TP may be configured as bus tree, star
and loop or/and their combinations (see Figure 1). TP may be cut everywhere for providing
branches.
For example: In retrofitting, a new actuator for HVAC control could be simply installed with a new
branch and a passive tap.
In any building, both indoor and outdoor installations have to be taken into account. Outdoor
installation includes front doors, garages, shafts, etc.
In a HBES system, the devices are usually fixed, a lighting point in the ceiling will stay in place, as
will a window-shutter or HVAC fixture. Nevertheless moveable appliances can be connected.
Many modifications, however, will occur during the building life (e.g. change of devices, the
addition or removal of walls.). Therefore flexibility is required which can be achieved by aligning
the HBES installation with that of the mains network as far as possible. Twisted Pair can be
branched off for the installation of an extension at each point one chooses.
HBES itself contains several wired media. An overview of these is given in Table B.1.

5 Cabling model and general requirements
Introduction
Cabling solutions offer flexibility for many applications. These applications may be linked with one
other or may be independent sharing only the same wiring.
5.1 Connection of segments, general requirements
The cabling system specified in this standard consists of interfaces, where application specific
equipment may be connected, and the links between such interfaces. A link may consist of more
than one segment. At every point in a segment where other link segments are to be connected
and at the interfaces of links Installation Spaces shall be provided. The type of Installation
Spaces needed is shown in the hierarchy in Figure 2.
Installation Spaces IS1 to IS6 are spaces intended for fixing cabinets, enclosures and/or boxes,
e.g. according to IEC 60670 and containing active and/or passive devices as well as connecting
hardware.
The requirements for Installation Space and related equipment are specified in Clause 8.
The Installation Space shall:
- make apparent the change in level in the hierarchy,
- offer appropriate standardized connection hardware for fixing the equipment in an Installation
Space,
- enable location of active and passive (modular) devices, including any insulation and
separation required,
- facilitate access to the media and related equipment,
- allow management and extension of the network.
An Installation Space may also be used for the Handover Box to all external services. All IS shall
be provided according to the building structure, as a minimum IS4 shall be provided.
The Installation Spaces also allow the cable network to be divided into distinct physical segments
so that any failure or disturbance may be limited to a single segment and not affect the entire
network. For electrical safety requirements see 9.1 and 9.2.

Figure 2 – HBES Installation Spaces (IS) principle

5.2 Coexistence between HBES control bus, broadband multimedia and mains
The intention of this standard is to allow the cables for different media and for mains to use the
same canalisation and ducts etc., so far as is appropriate, in order to simplify installation and,
where possible, to allow all wired media to be combined in one canalisation. Table 1 lists
examples of applications the cabling of which may be desired to use the same canalisation.
The coexistence of different media and mains can also be provided within the Installation Spaces,
within enclosures and boxes as well as within the interfaces/components.
In some areas of the cabling hierarchy relevant characteristics e.g. for lightning protection, EMC
and availability, see Clauses 9 and 10, have to comply with respective requirements.
In any case the national regulations, if any, prevail on these requirements.

- 15 - EN 50090-9-1:2004
The use of common cabling shall not impair the operation of any of the participating networks.
This refers to signalling (e.g. cross talk, link performance), EMC and safety requirements. The
coexistence requirements, in particular with mains are summarized in 9.1 and in Clause10 and
the distribution of cables to canalisation in Table 5.
6 Infrastructure requirements
6.1 General
Figure 4 shows the relationships among the elements of a generic infrastructure, with reference
to the connections in Installation Spaces IS1 to IS6.
In all cases installation and in accordance with the principle of predisposition, Installation Space
shall be provided in the infrastructure, according to the structure given in Figure 2.
NOTE 1  If not possible cabinets and enclosures could ensure themselves the IS requirements.
Table 2 indicates if the provision of facilities for installation of various features within each of an
IS is:
Mandatory (M),
Optional (O) or
usually provided in accordance with conventional practise (P).
NOTE 2  The fact that an IS is intended to receive control-command devices for various applications, does
not imply that those applications are required to be provided. If command and control devices are
provided, it is not a requirement of this standard that those devices be contained either wholly or partly
within that IS.

(1) Services used from Different Service Providers in parallel (e.g. two different telephone services) may require additional
equipment accordingly.
(2) The final size of the Installation Space depends on the equipment used by the installer/planner.

In Figure 4 the building in the foreground shows one single vertical backbone distribution, the
building in the background shows two vertical ways of distribution connected with each other.
The public connection cabinet (handover box) which connects the campus with an external
communication service may be located in an extra enclosure (IS1), which can be mandatory in
certain cases, e.g. public telephone network. Taking into account the maximum length specified
e.g. in CENELEC R205-002 and in manufacturers’ specifications if any, provisions for signal
restoration (repeaters) shall be provided when necessary; see also Annex B.
The general infrastructure may consist of campus, building, floors, flat, rooms, distribution
systems and shall be adapted to the needs by taking into account different types of buildings:
- service classes (see Table 1),
- building comfort classes performance, see Annex C.
Define types and number of networks to be installed. Note that in an existing building where some
of the networks mentioned in Annex B are already installed, it will be possible to add the HBES
network Class 1, 2 or 3 so as to let the existing network coexist with the new HBES network.
