In large system applications, if the recommended maximum cable length needs
to be exceeded, an LNK-XT Network Extender can be used to boost the waning
signal strength. One LNK-XT extends the network length by an additional 610 m
(2,000 ft). It is recommended that an LNK-XT be installed approximately every
32 connected devices, or when a drop in signal strength is detected.
6.5.5 Wiring the Remote (Dongle) Refrigerant Sensor to the Remote 5V Smart
Sensor Board
The refrigerant sensor is socketed int
o a conduit fi tting that is connected to a
9 m / 29.5 ft length of cable. The cable then connects to the cGas 5V Remote
Smart Board. The connection is made in the fi eld during installation.
