4.8 Terminator
This unit incorporates a circuit which shapes the transmission waveform, and functions to avoid situations
where the transmission waveform is disturbed by the external environment.
Make sure to properly connect it to the transmission line as it has a polarity. (DP: Red, DN: Black)
Reverse connection may result in transmission fault.
The line extended from the master unit (line wired to the very end) is called the trunk line, and the line wired
and branched from the trunk line is called a branch line.
A terminator for one master unit must be connected at the farthest end of the trunk line.
When extending branch lines out from the trunk line, one terminator must be connected at the end of the
branch line if the length of the branch lines is more than 40m.
Although it is possible to omit terminators if the length of the branch line of the transmission line is less than
40m, it is recommended to connect a terminator to any long branch lines of the system.
A maximum of three terminators can be connected.
