5-3.3.1 Adding Modules to the Comms Link
To insert another module into the Comms link, make a looping connection through it as in Example
A of Figure 5-2 below. Alternatively, use a Innotech Repeater IR11 or IR12 to branch o to the new
module as in Example B of Figure 5-2.
Note that the four devices and Port 1 of the Repeater Module are connected in bus topology. Port 2 of
the Repeater Module and the added device form a separate network linked by the electronics within
the Repeater Module. Always maintain bus topology on the network when adding another module to
the network.
5-3.3.2 Linking Networks in Dierent Locations
When linking networks in dierent buildings, or when linking modules supplied from dierent
switchboards, isolation must be provided to eliminate earth loops.
To expand an REM network, use an Innotech Repeater IR11 as described below in section 5-3.3.3.
To expand a Primary Network, use an Innotech Repeater IR12 as described in subsection 5-3.3.4.
