LON – Network 3065

7.0 Repeater
7.1 Method of Operation
The repeater increases the allowable communication distance by regenerating the
signals. Unlike routers, the repeater does not have a group ID, so it does not have to
be configured by SimonsVoss.
7.2 Assembly Instructions
Install it in a small housing that is suitable for DIN rail assembly. Connect the (LON)
network lines to terminal screws on both sides. The power supply – which can be
either AC or DC – is on one side of the housing. Feed the cable screen through to the
opposite side.
The repeater always needs a separate power supply, which is not included in the
delivery!!!
Repeaters, as they come from the factory, do not have any over voltage protection.
For this reason, this protection should be already provided for by the customer.
8.0 Terminators
To avoid disturbances, you must use a so-called terminator (pull-
up resistor) in the bus system as the segment termination.
Connect this pull-up resistor to terminals 1 and 2 of the last
LockNode and also to the network equipotential bonding.
