Redundant link
If you need to make a redundant L-Net connection to the Compact 500 main unit, connect both L-Net
ports of the device to two L-Net ports on the C500 main unit. You can choose any L-Net port on the C500
main unit. This creates a double daisy-chain of the redundant A/B power and data link to the device and
ensures fail-safe networking in case of a single cable or port failure.
Both spurs of the redundant A/B link may be populated with other L-Net devices.
NOTE: The device is equipped with a power link jumper, which, by default, is in the ON position (pass-
through power over L-Net). In order to a create redundant link, the jumper must be moved to the OFF
position. The device will then be immune to a single port short-circuit of the power bus.
When jumper 1 is closed (switch 1 on), the corresponding port 1 will pass through 24V DC from port 2 to
devices connected to port 1. Jumper 2 (switch 2) works accordingly, passing 24V DC received from port 1.
The power jumper should be used if the device is supposed to be connected via redundant link. In this case
the device must not pass power through towards the C500 on either of the 2 spurs of the redundant link.
