Introduction—ASC and N2 Bus Networking and Troubleshooting Guide 19
Table 4 lists characteristics of various Companion devices that are
important to installing and commissioning these devices. Note that some
devices do not have EOL jumpers, but have the bias voltage permanently
applied to the N2+ and N2– lines. Other devices may or may not have
isolation of the REF line to the device’s ground. Isolation problems with
communication could possibly result, depending on the situation in which
the N2 lines are used. Refer to the Troubleshooting N2 Bus Installation
section of this document for more details.

Notes:
1
PTC=positive temperature coefficient thermistor; i.e., a temperature sensitive resistor that acts like a resettable fuse.
2
LCPs manufactured before 1/91 should not be used at the end-of-line. LCPs manufactured after 2/92 have transient
voltage suppressors for N2+ and N2– protection.
3
MM-CVT101 REF terminal connects to communications ground and earth ground through the PC.
4
The UNT100/101 and VAV100/101 have N2 REF connected to digital common. Digital common or 24 VAC must
never be connected to earth ground.
5
The UNT110/111/120/121 have isolated N2 REF.
