Network Repeaters
When you have a GEKKO integrated in a Chameleon Network system. A “network redundancy” should be used. To be able
to achieve this, a CHAMELEON-REP must be used as repeater and connected in a “daisy chained” structure in a closed
Loop, thus protecting the Data from interruptions or short circuits, by creating a bi-directional communications flow. If the
panel loses communications with the repeater it will try via the opposite path.
NOTE:
- UP TO 32 CHAMELEON-REP CAN BE CONNECTED.
- The CHAMELEON-REP has its own network address.
RS422 may be used for distances of up to 1200m. For longer distances (up to 4,5 km) Fibre Optic Data connections should
be used. See page for cable requirements for both types of installation.
NOTE:
For more detailed information please refer to the “Chameleon Communications Manual”
