types can degrade system operation.
If necessary, consult factory for further
suggested cable types.
NOTE
Cables designed to ISA SP50 Type A or IEC
61158-2 Type A are suitable for use in LON/
SLC wiring. For armored version, contact cable
manufacturer.
1. Remove the cover from the Network
Extender enclosure.
2. Connect 24 Vdc power lead wires and
communication network cable to the
terminal block. (See Figure 3-2 for terminal
location and Figure 3-3 for terminal
identification).
See Table 3-8 to determine maximum wiring
length.
COM 1 - Communication network connections:
Connect to COM 2 terminals of the
next device on the loop, A to A and B
to B.
COM 2 - Communication network connections:
Connect to COM 1 terminals of the
previous device on the loop, A to A
and B to B.
24 Vdc - Connect the "+" terminal to the
positive side of the 24 Vdc power
source. (Both "+" terminals are
connected internally.)
Connect the "–" terminal to the
negative side of the 24 Vdc power
source. (Both "–" terminals are
connected internally.)
Table 3-7—LON Maximum Cable Lengths
Note: *Use the same type of cable in each wiring
segment between network extenders.
**Maximum wire lengths represent the linear
wire distance of LON communications wiring
between network extenders.
Be sure that selected cable meets all job
specifications, indoor, outdoor and direct
burial.
If necessary, consult factory for further
suggested cable types.
