Linking Multiple Panels
CP-20A Remote Panels can be linked together in a daisy chain to create multiple
control points for a single system. X
N
Net link cables can be attached to either
Comm Link. (For other types of communication cable, see page 10-2.) The total
distance of the cable runs cannot exceed 1,000 ft (304.8 m).
Power Requirements
q
9 volt DC with at least 500 mA
Always use a UL approved power source.
To link CP-20A Remote Panels to each other:
1. Connect the first panel to the AutoPatch Router using one of the Comm
Links (see page 10-2 for instructions).
2. Attach an X
N
Net link cable to the other Comm Link on the first panel (follow
the same procedure used when connecting to the AutoPatch Router).
3. Attach the other end of the X
N
Net link cable to a Comm Link on the next
panel.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for any additional panels to be linked.
5. Wire the power connectors on each of the CP-20A Remote Panels.
6. Place the panels in a rack(s) or in other permanent installation locations.
7. Apply power from each of the power sources.
Note: If the panel is experiencing difficulties, insert a 120 ohm resistor in the
outer contacts of the unused Comm Link on the last remote of a large daisy chain
and tighten the screws. If problems persist, contact AutoAssist (see Technical
Support, page 1-4.)
