instAllAtion AnD WirinG
The Eagle Quantum Premier (EQP) version of the Model PIRECL PointWatch Eclipse uses the identical installation

procedure, device location guidelines, and power supply requirements as described in the “Installation” section of this

manual. Refer to the EQP version wiring diagram for specific wiring termination guidance.

An important difference in EQP applications is that LON network cabling will be routed both in and out from the the EQP

Eclipse enclosure, so this requirement should be anticipated and planned for during EQP Eclipse installation.

ImpoRtANt

Det-Tronics recommends the use of shielded cable (required by ATEX) to prevent external electromagnetic
interference from affecting field devices.

ImpoRtANt

For best fault isolation performance, the maximum LON wiring length should not exceed 1600 feet (500 meters).

ImpoRtANt

Be sure that selected cable meets all job specifications. The use of other cable types can degrade system
operation. If necessary, consult factory for further suggested cable types.

Table H-1—LON Maximum cable Lengths

Note: *use the same type of cable in each wiring segment between

network extenders.

**Maximum wire lengths represent the linear wire distance of
LON communications wiring between network extenders.

The maximum wire lengths given in Table C-1 are based upon
the cable’s physical and electrical characteristics.
