6.2 Transmission intervals
The IEC61162 sentences are in general output in response to a specific event, such as initiation of a binary
message via the user interface. Certain messages are output over the ports at regular transmission intervals.
Table 11lists each sentence type and the transmission interval.
Table 11 IEC61162 transmission interval for periodic sentences
6.3 Sensor data input port
The sensor data input port schematic is shown in Figure 56. The optional 120 Ohm termination is selectable
via a jumper in the junction box and should be fitted in the ‘R’ position when long cables connecting to the data
source are required - see section
4.4.4. Each sensor data input port is isolated from other data port inputs and
from the transceivers internal power supply.
Figure 56 Input port schematic
A logical low input is defined as: A-B < -0.2V.
A logical high input is defined as: A-B > +0.2V.
The input impedance is approximately 54 kOhms without the junction box jumper fitted, and 120 Ohms with the
jumper fitted.
