Choosing a Location
Choose a clean, dry, easily accessible location indoors.
If you mount the Conext ComBox on a wall, the recommended height is at eye-
level so that you can clearly see the LEDs and have easy access to the data
ports.
All the communication ports on the Conext ComBox are accessible from the
bottom of the device when mounted on a wall or DIN rail. Clearance of at least 2
inches (50 mm) below the device is needed to allow for the bending radius of
cables that connect to the Conext ComBox.
You should not run cables through conduits that can be exposed to lightning
strikes.
The following are recommended maximum cable lengths in a Conext ComBox
system:
• 131 feet (40 m) Total Xanbus network
• 328 feet (100 m) Router to Conext ComBox
• 164 feet (50 m) Modbus Master (RS 485) to Conext ComBox
