APPENDIX G
EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER COMPATIBLE LS2000
INSTALLATION AND WIRING
The Eagle Quantum Premier (EQP) version of the Model LS2000 uses the identical installation
procedure, device location guidelines, and power supply requirements as described in the
“Installation” section of this manual. Refer to the EQP version wiring diagram for specific wiring
termination guidance.
An important difference in EQP applications is that LON network cabling will be routed both in and
out from the EQP LS2000 enclosure, so this requirement should be anticipated and planned for
during installation.
Note: *Use the same type of cable in each wiring segment between network
extenders.
**Maximum wire lengths represent the linear wire distance of LON
communications wiring between network extenders.
Be sure that selected cable meets all job specifications, indoor,
outdoor and direct burial.
If necessary, consult factory for further suggested cable types.
Table G-1—LON Maximum Cable Lengths
IMPORTANT
Det-Tronics recommends the use of shielded cable (required by ATEX) to prevent external
electromagnetic interference from affecting field devices.
IMPORTANT
For best fault isolation performance, the maximum LON wiring length should not exceed 1600
feet (500 meters).
IMPORTANT
Be sure that selected cable meets all job specifications. The use of other cable types can
degrade system operation. If necessary, consult factory for further suggested cable types.
