Loop Resistance
The maximum cable resistance allowable can be calculated from the graph
below. For example, if an
IMP Lite
were supplied from a 24VDC, the
maximum total cable resistance is 590 ohms, for a typical 77 ohm /km cable
this would mean a maximum cable length of 590/77 = 7.6km, remember this
is the total cable resistance, so this figure has to be divided by 2 to give 3.8km
max distance.
