Select a Location to Install Sealed Components
Use these guidelines to select where to install the components.
•
Be certain that the installation location is convenient for routing your cable and meets
the bend radius of the coax trunk line.
•
Do not install sealed components so that the dropline cable is routed over any ac
power terminals on nearby modules.
IMPORTANT
ControlNet is an isolated system. Connectors and the shield must not
come in direct contact with a metal enclosure or other grounded
equipment. The 1786-BNC2TNC and 1786-TNCJI4 isolated bulkhead
connectors (available from Rockwell Automation) provide an isolation
from ground when properly installed.
ATTENTION
Do not allow any metal portions of the tap, such as the universal
mounting bracket screws or connectors to contact any conductive
material. This contact could cause noise on the network.
IMPORTANT
Do not cut, lengthen, or substitute the drop cable supplied in this kit.
Doing so may diminish the integrity of your ControlNet network
connection.
