Rules for installing the By-me system

4. Choosing the power supply units
Correctly size the number of power supply units for the number of installed devices. When calculating the power
supply units it is important to respect the maximum limit on permissible products for the different lines of the By-
me system.
The tables on the following pages show the absorption of the devices on the By-me BUS.

3. Areas and Lines
The system architecture offers the facility of organiz-
ing the system adopting a structure of 15 areas con-
nected to a backbone (Area 0, Line 0 dedicated to the
burglar alarm system). Each of the 15 areas can be
split up into 16 lines, each allowing the connection of
up to 128 devices. The lines are connected one with
another by way of couplers (routers) that will allow the
passage only of messages established at the time of
programming the system. Each line will be connected
to 1 or at most 2 power supply units, depending on the
demand of the devices installed.
When initializing the control unit, remember the area
and line parameters to be entered for different system
structures:
• burglar alarm branch only: Area 0 and Line 0
• automation system branch only: Area 1 and Line 0
• burglar alarm and automation system branches:
Area 0 and Line 0 (in this type of structure remember
that it is essential to immediately configure the
line coupler 01845 with Area 1 and Line 0).
