Revision 1.1
WebSwitch™ Users Manual
A linear (daisy chain) topology will minimize signal reflections, providing a more reliable connection and
longer cable lengths than a star topology.
Appropriate strain relief should be used at WebSwitch™ and other connections may be subjected to
vibration, movement, or repeated handling.
Avoid sensor runs adjacent to industrial equipment power cables. These cables have high current spikes
that may induce noise on the sensor signals. Similarly, avoid running sensor cables near any radio
transmission antennas or coaxial feedlines.
Protect any electrical connections with appropriate weather shielding.
Due to the broad range of applications and environments were the WebSwitch™ may be employed,
installation success on long sensor runs may vary significantly.
