The following rules must be applied when connecting timing cables between the
Location Sensors:
•
Do not connect the timing cable from one Location Sensor back to the
same Location Sensor.
•
Do not connect two timing cables between the same two Location Sensors.
•
The maximum timing cable length is 1000 feet (310 m).
Install the Location Sensor timing cables from one unit to the next, as specified in
the site design document, using the specified 2 pair Cat 3 cable and RJH
(telephone handset) connectors.
Incorrect routing of the timing cables between the Location Sensors may
result in decreased location accuracy.
9.3
Ethernet
The Location Sensor utilizes standard 10/100 802.3 Ethernet connectivity via cat 5
cables. The Location Sensor must be wired to a nearby hub, which is in turn
connected to the network containing the database cpu. The maximum Ethernet
cable run is 328 feet (100 m). If additional distance is required, hubs, repeaters,
and fiber (with 10baseT converters) can be used to extend the distance. Refer to
IEEE guidelines for Ethernet cabling.
