Ethernet Connections; Electrostatic Sensitivity - Honeywell ALERTON VIP-363-HOA Installation Instructions Manual

Input wiring and configuration
Use 18AWG twisted shielded pair (TSP) wire for all
inputs. Connect only one end of shielding to ground. DO
NOT CONNECT SHIELDING TO ANY TERMINAL ON
THE DEVICE; connect shielding to a known earth ground
at the panel/enclosure.

Ethernet connections

Fig. 4 Ethernet Connections
The VIP controller has a built-in four-port Ethernet switch
that supports 10BASE-T (10 Mbps), 100BASE-TX (100
Mbps), and 1000BASE-T (1000 Mbps) Ethernet
connections. This controller automatically operates at
1000 Mbps if other devices and cabling support it.
Table 1 Ethernet Connections
An RJ-45 jack for connection to Ethernet is
Ethernet RJ-
45 jack
on top of the VIP controller. Pin
designations for the RJ-45 jack are shown.

Use an approved Category 5e or better
Cable type
and length
Ethernet drop cable with RJ-45 plugs. Use
professionally manufactured cables of no
more than 328 feet (100 meters).
MS/TP
IMPORTANT
MS/TP is supported on the VIP-363-HOA
!
model only.
Setting the MAC address
Set the MAC address using the first seven switches on
the DIP switch. (Valid address range is 0 to 127).

Connecting MS/TP
Connect the VIP-363-HOA to the BACnet system over an
MS/TP LAN that uses the EIA–485 signaling standard.
Connect the MS/TP+ to Terminal 1 and MS/TP- to
Terminal 2 on the VIP-363-HOA. Use shielded 22 AWG, 2
conductor, twisted-pair cabling with characteristic
impedance between 100 and 130 Ω @ 4000 ft (1200m)
maximum. Distributed capacitance between conductors
must be less than 30 pF/foot (100 pF/m). Distributed
capacitance between conductor and shield must be less
than 60 pF/foot (200 pF/m). Foil or braided shield
acceptable.
Matched precision terminating resistors are required at
each end of the MS/TP segment. Wire the resistors
across + and –. Recommended 120 Ohm resistor value.
Terminate shield drain at one end of the MS/TP segment
to ground. Tie shield drain through with a wire nut at each
intermediate device and insulate to avoid potential
ground contact. Tape shield drain back at other end of
segment.
Consideration must be made for the reduced bandwidth
associated with MS/TP communications. Alerton
recommends doing ROC file and other large file
downloads using the Ethernet port and not MS/TP.
Consideration must be made for the fact that the VIP-
363-HOA is a building controller and will host a greater
quantity of trendlogs, schedules and alarms than a VLC.
To reduce the potential for communication issues, Alerton
recommends reducing the number of other MS/TP
devices on the MS/TP network segment and to be
diligent when setting up trendlogs and logging intervals to
maximize network performance.
Disposal
WEEE Directive 2012/2019/EC Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment
directive
The product should not be disposed of
with other household waste. Check for
the nearest authorized collection centers or authorized
recyclers. The correct disposal of end-of-life equipment
will help prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health. Do not burn this device.

The VIP controller and its components
may be susceptible to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Use appropriate ESD
grounding techniques while handling the
product. When possible, always handle
the product by its non-electrical
components.
