Straight Run
Looped Run
Wire Layout
Straight line, star, looped and combination configurations are supported (see next page for
diagrams).
It is suggested that only one continuous loop be laid out around the site. This usually follows the
main water lines. The loop will start at the BaseStation™ Controller, continue around the site and
then return to the controller. This provides the best communication and power path for the
system. This loop provides a redundant path for the power and signal allowing the system to
continue operation if the loop is cut.
