3.4 Setup Your MeterBus Network
3.4.1 Layout and Connections
Before you begin physically constructing your MeterBus
TM
network, make sure you have the
proper cables, connectors, adapters, and mounting hardware. It is best to organize exactly where
devices will be mounted, cables will be run, etc before physically mounting the equipment. This
ensures enough space for the system and allows for an organized, clean installation.
WARNING: Do not route COM cables in the same conduit
as power cables.
Be sure to observe the MeterBus
TM
Networking Rules as outlined in SubSection 3.2.
