Network Considerations
The RF Gateway can draw 32 mA from the C-Bus network.
Determine the total network current load and verify that there will be
enough C-Bus power to support all connected devices. Also verify
that the amount of available power per C-Bus network is no more
than 2A.
Network Burden
One network burden is required for proper C-Bus operation, network
termination, and biasing.
HAZARD OF IMPROPER OR UNSTABLE OPERATION
C-Bus networks require only one burden.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in improper C-Bus
network operation.
The C-Bus system clock must be enabled in order to apply the
network burden.
Hardware Burden
The hardware burden can be used in one of two ways.
1. Install the hardware burden temporarily in order to enable the
software burden, and then to remove the hardware burden.
2. Install the hardware burden and leave it installed as the network
burden.
To install the hardware burden device, simply plug it into the C-Bus
network RJ-45 receptacle.
NOTE: Plug the hardware burden device only into C-Bus
receptacles.
