Wire Layout<br />

Straight line, star, looped, and combination configurations are supported.<br />

The straight line and the star topology are the recommended layouts. To simplify the illustrations, only the last<br />

device is shown for most configurations. You can assume that other devices, both sensors and biCoders, are<br />

connected along the length of the two-wire path. On a star configuration, the topology has multiple last devices.<br />

Each device must separately meet the distance requirement.<br />

While the loop topology might provide a more robust configuration, it is harder to trace the wiring errors that<br />

might occur. For this reason, <strong>Baseline</strong> recommends the other topologies over the loop.<br />

Wire Burial<br />

Bury all wire at a depth appropriate to protect the wire from mechanical damage due to digging or aeration.<br />

<strong>Baseline</strong>’s two-wire system operates under 30 VAC RMS, which is considered safe for shallow burial as outlined in<br />

the National Electric Code. All installations should comply with local electrical codes.<br />
