contact, 0-10 VDC output.
MS/TP cable specification
Use Belden 9841 or Equivalent cable with the following
specifications
•
An MSTP EIA-485 network shall use shielded, twisted-pair
cable with characteristic impedance between 100 and 130
ohms.
•
Distributed capacitance between conductors shall be less
than 100 pF per meter (30 pF per foot).
•
Distributed capacitance between conductors and shield
shall be less that 200 pF per meter (60 pF per foot).
•
Foil or braided shields are acceptable.
•
The maximum recommended length of an MS/TP segment
is 1000 meters.
Sylk Bus cable specification
•
Polarity insensitive
•
Can use daisy chain wiring for multiple Sylk devices. If
wire size is too thick for two wires in the terminal, use
pigtails.

Attention
The maximum length of a signal cable with 24
VAC supply is 550 ft. (170 m). The max. length of
a two-wire, 0-10 Vdc signal cable is 1300 ft. (400
m). The secondary side of the transformer must
not be connected to earth ground.
Installing a fuse on the secondary side of the
transformer is recommended to protect the
devices against incorrect wiring.
