A combustible gas DCU draws approximately 500 mA
at startup, therefore, the total current load is 5 amps.
(10 units x 500 mA = 5 amps)
Refer to the 5 Amp Load column in the table. Since the
maximum allowable voltage drop is 6 volts, 16 AWG (or
larger) wire is required.
IMPORTANT
To ensure proper operation of field devices, the
voltage input to the device (measured at the
device) must be within the range indicated for that
device in the “Specifications” section of this
manual.
NETWORK WIRING
All devices on the LON/SLC are wired in a loop that
starts and ends at the LCU. To ensure proper
operation, the LON/SLC should be wired using high
speed communication grade cable. Cable meeting the
specifications listed in Table VI-2 is suitable for
distances up to 2000 meters. Any of the cable types
listed in Table VI-3 can be used for wiring the LON/SLC
for the distances indicated. 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 LCU. The use of
other cable types can degrade system operation. For
optimum fault isolation performance, the maximum
LON/SLC wiring length should not exceed 1600 feet
(500 meters).
SHIELD GROUNDING
Two shield ground terminals are provided inside the
junction box of each field device and also at the LCU.
Connect the shield ends to the terminals provided (not
to each other) inside the junction box.
CAUTION
Insulate the shields to prevent shorting to the
device housing or to any other conductor.
