4 Installation and Wiring
Round Cable II, Flat Cable I, or Flat Cable II
The communications power to Slave Units is supplied through a Round Cable II, Flat Cable I or Flat
Cable II cable. Therefore there is no need to provide a communications power supply for Slave Units
separately. The communications power supply can be shared by all Slave Units within the same trunk
line or sub-trunk line. The I/O power must be supplied separately to the Slave Units which need I/O
power, i.e., Slave Units with a multi-power supply.
