2. OPERATION
The HMP240 transmitter 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 HMP240 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.
The serial line structure is a parallel interfaced chain (daisy chain). At the end
of the serial line there must be an HMP240 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.
