Network Termination:
When building a Lonworks system the network must be properly terminated by positioning the BTK-8102
Lonworks terminator in the DS8100A master reader and the BTK-8100 Lonworks bus return in the last DS8100A
slave reader.
The BTK-8100 bus return provides a connector to be inserted in the Lonworks 17-pin female connector of the last
slave reader in the network; while the BTK-8102 Lonworks terminator provides a different connector to be
inserted in the Lonworks 17-pin male connector of the master reader:
BTK-8102 and BTK-8100
Two cables are also provided as accessories to terminate and power the network: CAB-8605 and CAB-8305.
CAB-8605 is a power and Lonworks termination cable to be used for connecting the DS8100A master to an
external power unit within the network; while CAB-8305 is a power and bus return cable to be used for connecting
the last DS8100A slave to an external power unit.
