Connecting the Jumper Plug(s)
From time to time it may be necessary to mount two or more LonPoint Type 1D or
2D Base plates adjacent to one another. When this happens, power and network
wiring must be daisy-chained between each Base Plate. Routing power and
network wiring between multiple Base Plates can be a laborious and time
consuming task, and there is always the risk of a wiring error. For this reason, the
Type 1D and 2D Base Plates are each supplied with a Jumper Plug and Jumper
Plug connectors which simply and easily bus the power and network between
adjacent Base Plates.
The Jumper Plug connectors are located on either side of the terminal block with
connections 1 to 9. The Jumper Plug connectors are wired in parallel with the
network and power connections on the screw terminals. When two base plates are
mounted adjacent to each other, with the mounting arrows pointing in the same
direction, the Jumper Plug connectors will be aligned such that a Jumper Plug may
be inserted into the two adjacent connectors thus bridging power and network
between the two Base Plates (figure 4.27).
