ControlNet Dual Copper Repeater Module
8. Connect the module wiring as shown in Connect the Module For Coax Channels 1
and 2 on page 14.
9. Ground your DIN rail in accordance with local codes using a minimum #14 AWG
wire. See page 12 for DIN rail ground wire example.
Use Trunk Line Terminators
When you are not connecting a trunk line to a channel on the 1786-RPCD repeater module,
Ω
connect a 75
terminating resistor (1786-XT) to maintain the integrity of your network.
Be certain to ground the DIN rail
with a minimum #14 AWG wire.
The left side of the module
(not shown here) also
contains a backplane
connector.
If:
you are not going to use a channel
you connect another repeater module or repeater
adapter to the right backplane connector
you are not going to connect a module to the right
backplane connector
the module is in the right-most position

Terminator
Then:
keep the terminator on an unused channel for optimal
network performance
remove the protective backplane cap and save the
cap for future use
leave the backplane cap attached
attach a DIN rail end anchor
