The longer the segment is, the less modules can be attached due to electrical constraints. The table below indicates the maximum number of modules that can be attached relative to the length of the string or segment. Distances shown are in meters.

Repeater Module
Extend your capability...

If you intend to install the InfoControl modules on a large campus, or office block, you may either exceed the distance limitations on a single control bus, or the number of devices that can be connected. InfoControl provides a solution to this scenario by providing a repeater unit. An installation will require one or more repeaters if connection of modules will exceed the cable connectivity limits. (A table is shown in the technical specifications section overleaf).

A repeater unit can be used to extend an existing bus segment by providing one or more subsegments. The repeater also allows you to cascade devices on a segment or subsegment by providing the capability to connect a second string. Each repeater segment will extend the managed module capacity by 32 modules per string. Two strings can be connected giving a total of 64 modules that can be connected. The diagram below shows an example topology.	Repeater module Large Image

The total length of any segment cannot exceed 1km. This is the sum of all the strings in the sub segment.
