    Master Station. This has the additional benefit of each line being fully monitored and battery backed up. The Beacon Master Station has been designed for radial star topology. In most cases this will reduce the cable requirements for all ring-based systems. The topology consists of spurs formed of 1 two core 1.5mm CSA cables (soft skin enhanced up to 500m per leg, MICC 200m per leg) to each outstation.
