Part 4 Cabling interfaces 773
The table below shows the power available in relation to the line length and the
line cross-section. The table can then be used to determine the number and type
of terminals that can be connected to the AD2 bus under the given conditions.
Tab. 4.35: Power available for terminals on the AD2 bus
Permissible range (max. 700 m) for 2 terminals on the AD2-Bus if one or both terminals are of the
type Office 20, Office 30 or Office 40. For the system terminals Office 10, Office 25,
Office 35 and Office 45 this restriction does not apply.
With the SB-8 radio unit only half the output is to be used, provided it is con-
nected to two AD2 interfaces.
Automatic detection of critical power supply situations
When an Office terminal (or a second such terminal) is connected to the AD2 bus,
the maximum power input is automatically determined; all the terminals (incl.
EKP, AKB) connected to the interface are taken into account. The maximum
power available is also determined based on the calculated line length (assump-
tion: wire ø = 0.5 mm). If the calculated power available is below the maximum
possible power input of the connected terminals, the message "Power supply crit-
ical xy m" is generated on the terminal connected last (accuracy approx. 150 m).
