EXTENDER INSTALLATION
Mounting
The device should be securely mounted to a vibration
free surface. (See the “Specifications” section in this
manual for device dimensions.)
Wiring
All devices on the LON are wired in a loop that starts
and ends at the System Controller. To ensure proper
operation, the LON should be wired using high speed
communication grade cable.
NOTe
Cable meeting the specifications listed in Table
3-6 is suitable for distances up to 2000 meters.
Any of the cable types listed in Table 3-7 can be used
for wiring the LON for the distances indicated.
NOTe
If no network extenders are used, the distances
listed are for the entire loop. If network extenders
are used, the distances listed are for the wiring
length between network extenders or between a
network extender and the System Controller.
Table 3-7—LON Maximum Cable Lengths
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.
If necessary, consult factory for further suggested cable
types.
***Cables designed to ISA SP50 Type A or IEC 61158-2
Type A are suitable for use in LON/SLC wiring. For armored
version, contact cable manufacturer.
