Determining a Location
Maximum wiring distances
If the transmitter is mounted remotely from the sensor, the maximum distance between the sensor and transmitter depends on cable type. See Table 2.
For
•For sensors with a Model 1700/2700 or a Model 2400S transmitter, the transmitter is considered to be integrally mounted on the sensor, so Table 2 does not apply.
•For sensors with a junction box or core processor, the limits in Table 2 apply only to the wiring between the junction box or core processor and a
