Easy Loop Connection System
BIS L-400-... and BIS Z-EL-...
The maximum permissible cable length between the communications module and each indi-
vidual processor is 80 m.
Fig. 1: Cable lengths
The cable length is calculated by adding the sub-sections between the communications module
and the processor, e.g.:
Processor 1 : l = a + b
Processor
2
: l = a + c + d
Processor 3 : l = a + c + e + f
Processor 4 : l = a + c + e + g

The following illustrations show various connection options. For example, tees and terminating
plugs can be connected directly to the Communications Module or processors can be con-
nected directly to a tee.
