1.2.5 Networking Multiple Displays

In a networked system, the master display unit (connected to the sensors)

will automatically transmit real-time wind data to all interconnected displays.

The CAN bus “A” and “B” signals on all networked displays should be

interconnected using a twisted-pair cable. The maximum total cable length of

the network should be <3 km.

1.2.6 Alarm Output

The alarm signal level is normally low (0 V) and will go high (5 V) whenever an

alarm condition occurs. The maximum source or sink current available from

this signal line is 5 mA. Suitable interface circuitry is required to control higher

powered warning devices or systems. To avoid communication errors and

conflicts, the “EXT Alarm” should be set to OFF whenever the RS232

connection is required.

1.2.7 Wiring Details for Panel Mounted Displays

Panel mounted displays are supplied with a basic cable loom for connecting

sensors, power supply and communications. Modifications to the basic cable

loom may be required to suit specific installation requirements. Connection

details for the rear of the display are shown.
