The following procedure illustrates a DPX2 sensor cable with three head
connectors. Your sensor cable may have fewer head connectors.
Warning: If there are free head connectors between a DPX2 sensor
cable's RJ-12 connector and the final attached DPX2 sensor package,
the sensor packages following the free head connector(s) on the same
cable do NOT work properly. Therefore, always occupy all head
connectors prior to the final sensor package with a DPX2 sensor
package.
To connect DPX2 sensor packages to the BCM2:
1. Connect a DPX2 sensor package to the first head connector of the
DPX2 sensor cable.
2. Connect remaining DPX2 sensor packages to the second and then
the third head connector.
Tip: If the number of sensors you are connecting is less than the
number of head connectors on your sensor cable, connect them to
the first one or first two head connectors to ensure that there are NO
free head connectors prior to the final DPX2 sensor package
attached.
3. Use an RJ-12 to RJ-45 adapter to connect the DPX2 sensor
package(s) to the BCM2.
