Combi Sensor Cable Routing

Addressable Sensors:-

Two sets of four way terminals for each of the two CAN channels, CAN1 and CAN2, are
available for connection of addressable sensors and auxiliary equipment to the control
panel. Connection of sensors to the control panel requires a 4 core 1.5 mm (minimum)
screened cable, two of which supply the 24Vdc sensor supply with the remaining two
used for the CAN communication between the sensors and control panel.

The addressable sensors should be connected to the two CAN channels in such a way
that, the total numbers of end of line links does not exceed three on each of the two CAN
channels. Spurs of four metres or less do not require an end of line link. The end of line
link must be positioned on the very last sensor on each sensor cable run from the Combi.

Direct Sensors:-

Sixteen direct sensor inputs, each with three terminals, are available for terminating the
two or three wire sensors (4-20mA devices) to the Combi. The sensors connected to
these direct inputs must operate in source mode only. Combi panel will not work with
sensors operating in sink mode.

Repeaters:-

Repeaters should be connected to CAN2 channel only.

Network Controllers:-

In networking mode the sensors must only be connected to CAN1 channel. CAN2
channel is used for networking the system only.
