CONNECTIONS

3.3 READER CONNECTIONS

The readers are connected to the “LonWorks” network through 4 x “8K” connectors available

on the PWO. Each “8K” connector supports a branch, each branch is made up of 4 readers

maximum (total 16 readers max). Connection between scanners and PWO is performed by

CAB-810X. The possible lengths are 1.2m, 2.5m and 5m.

The readers must be connected alternatively as shown in the figures below, this allows

reading on all sides even if one of the branches is not working.

Install a “Terminator” plug BTK-8100 at the open end of the last scanner of each branch.

Each unused connector (8K series connectors) requires a terminator BTK-8100, to provide

correct termination to the LonWorks network.
