OPERATION
The HMP228 transmitters can either be given an address or operated without
an address. Both single and dual loop wiring with half duplex connection can
be used. No address is needed when only one HMP228 transmitter is used;
when several transmitters are connected to the same line, each transmitter
must be given an address in the initial configuration.
A single transmitter can get its operating voltage from the master or it can
have its own (floating) power supply or it has the power supply module in use.
The serial line structure is a parallel interfaced chain (daisy chain). At the ends
of the serial line there must be a HMP228 transmitter, dynamic line adapter
(120 ohm resistor in series with a 33 nF capacitor) or line master. If a branch
line is made with a junction box, the branch should be shorter than 3 meters.
When connecting the device, follow the instructions given in the figure in
Chapter 1.
