Understanding a Daisy Chain Connection
To extend fiber optic cable across an even longer distance than is possible with a point-to-point configuration, you can use up to 10
210
s in a daisy chain configuration. In this situation, you use
210
s as fiber optic signal repeaters, amplifying the signal so that it can

Limiting Cable Signal Loss
Since fiber optic cable transmits light to carry data, it can carry data
over a longer distance than other types of cable. However, the loss of
light intensity is increased when you extend fiber optic cable over a long
distance and each time you connect fiber optic cable into a patch panel.
The recommended 62.5/125 diameter fiber optic cable functions properly with up to 10 db signal loss. If you have more 10 db signal loss,
Andover cannot guarantee proper operation. (For other cable diameters,
refer to the manufacturer’s specifications.)
To ensure you do not have more than the maximum signal loss allowed
for the fiber optic cable you choose, you should determine how much

light intensity the cable is losing by applying the following rules:
• Cable loses 1.2 db (light intens ity) per 1,000 ft length (4 db/km )
• Cable loses .25 to 1 db per connection to a patch panel
So if you have 4,000 ft of the recommended fiber optic cable connected
into 6 patch panels, the total loss of light intensity is as follows:
Loss for length =1.20 × 4 = 4.8
Loss for patch panels =
Total loss of intensity = 6.3 db
Since 6.3 db is within the limitation of up to 10 db signal loss, the fiber
optic cable will perform reliably with this much loss of intens ity.
0.25 × 6 = 1.5
InfiLink 210 Installation Guide 5
Note
Always be sure to have the fiber optic installer document the total light
intensity loss on fiber optic cable installed.

Note
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual
may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A compu ting devic e
pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules, which are designed
to provide reasonable protection against such interference when
operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user
at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be
required to correct the interference.

Building Ground Requirements
Warning
Be sure that all hardware from Andover Controls Corporati on is
grounded to true earth ground. This kind of ground protects the
equipment from lightning strikes and other power surges in the area.
We cannot guarantee that the control system will operate as
documented unless you properly ground all controllers.
Warning
Be sure to have your grounds inspected before you begin the
installation process to be sure your municipality follows the National
InfiLink 210 Installation Guide 7
Electrical Code.
substandard electrical grounds.
An example of a substandard ground is a galvanized steel cold water
pipe. As the pipe corrodes, it does not act as a true ground. The corrosion acts as an insulator, raising the potential of the pipe with respect to
the ground.
When lightning strikes in the area of the ins talla tion, it drastically
changes the potential of the earth.
Surges of much lower potential also impact the reliability of Andover
Controls equipment.
Since properly grounded Andover Controls units respond to changes in
potential more rapidly than poorly grounded electrical systems, a poorly grounded building tries to reach ground through the Andover
Controls system. The surge of current can destroy electronic compo-
Many municipalities do not and oft en have
nents on the controller board.
Inspecting the Ground
You can check your ground as follows:
1. Check your ground by first inspecting the building power
distribution panel for earth ground termination. If the grou nd
termination is any of the following, it is not adequate and must be
corrected:
• Does not exist.
• Is connected to a corroded or galvanized pipe.
• Is connected using a small gauge wire (smaller than 14 AWG or
2.5 mm2).
2. Be sure your
conductor that terminates at the distribution panel.
