Wires Characteristics 
Use this chapter to understand the type of wire you need to use 
for your plant. 
Power supply wire 
The TemaServer is powered at low voltage (12VDC±20% 600mA). 
It can be powered at low voltage (12V
DC
 600mA) by Temaline 
TPU03 battery-operated power supply module or by a vendor 
power supply with same characteristics.  
 
In order to determine the correct size for power cables, refer to the 
below table  
Make sure that the 12V cable corresponds in size to the norms 
indicated in the table below (voltage cable drop max = 2V): 
Cable length (m) = 2V / (0.6A x 2 x (res [Ohm/km] /1000))

Table 1 - Length of Power Cables (m) 
LONWORKS
 Data Cables 
Data cables used with LonWorks
®
 must be twisted-pair. 
In a free-topology configuration or star connection, where all 
device are connected starting from one single point, the total sum 
of the cable lengths must not exceed 500m.  
In a bus configuration or daisy chain configuration, where a device 
is connected to the previous one, the bus length must not exceed 
2700m.  
Refer to Table 2.for sizing data cables to be used for LonWorks
