HBUS cabling topology
The HBUS communications protocol is based on the RS485 standard and allows the reader to
communicate over a distance of up to 500 m (1640 ft).
The cabling between HBUS devices should be done in a "daisy chain" topology, (i.e. A "T" or
"Star" topology should not be used between devices). Should "Star" or "Home-Run" wiring be
required, the HBUS 4H/8H Modules and the HBUS Door Module allow multiple HBUS devices to
be individually wired to the one physical location.
The end devices on the HBUS cable should be terminated using 120 ohms resistance. To
terminate the Gallagher Controller 6000, connect the supplied on-board termination jumpers
to the Controller. To terminate a reader, connect the orange (termination) wire to the green
(HBUS A) wire. Termination is already included at the HBUS Module, (i.e. each HBUS port is
permanently terminated at the module).
