Even when VIA!NET Repeaters are utilized, the combined
TOTAL LENGTH of wire runs in each "sub-net" still
MUST NOT EXCEED 1000 feet.
NOTE: Use of system-specific Precision Panels for S and VIA!
is required for proper functionality when integrating serial con-
trolled devices with the SC-1.
VIA!NET Repeaters
VIA!NET Repeaters allow devices to be installed at distances that
are in excess of normal maximum wire run lengths. Punch the re-
peater down on a PVIA or other VIA!NET Precision Panel as shown
in the drawing below.
Keep in mind the following points:
• Use VIA!NET Repeaters when the TOTAL combined wire
length to all VIA! Touch Panels or SC-1 VIA!NET Ports exceeds
the 2000 ft. maximum limit.
NOTE: Wire runs WITH VIA!NET Repeaters still must not exceed
1000ft. in length.
• As many as 30 wire runs WITH VIA!NET Repeaters may
be utilized, as long as NONE of the individual runs exceed
1000 ft. in length.
• The combined length of all wire runs remaining
WITHOUT VIA!NET Repeaters ('sub-net') must not exceed
1000 ft.
