Figure 3 - 1-wire preferred topology 

The PA Pro is connected at one end of the 1-wire bus and each sensor is connected to the bus with 

branches or “stubs” where each stub is less than 3m. The 

PA Pro can handle a total of 16 sensors 

and a total “weight” of 65 m. Th

e weight is the length of all  0.5m per  0.5m per 

split. 

Weight = total cable  0.5* 0.5*split 

Example: 3 sensors on 2 meter stubs that is located 5 meters from the PA Pro with 1 split has a total 
weight of 0.5*3+(2*3+5)+0.5*1=14.   

Do not run signal wires in parallel with power cables. 

Check section 7 for configuration of 1-wire sensors.
