The small size, simple 1WRJ45 wiring of the LP-Series modules makes it our most economical, easy to install and use, 1-wire units yet. With a PCB size of only 35.5mm x 47.5mm, (our A Size PCB) these modules are designed to just fit in a Pac Tec CNS-0000 model enclosure or the enclosure of your choice using the two2 #2 mounting holes. The PCB's are double sided with silk-screens and solder masked on both sides.
Both power and 1-wire network connections are typically made through the Dual RJ-45 jacks using the 1WRJ45 compatible wiring standard. This supplied +12VDC regulated power is regulated again on board the LP-Series using a LDO (low drop out regulators) for a steady, low noise, reliable local power source for the boards components and allows for maximum performance of the 1-wire components. 1WRJ45 wiring options are easily configured by using solder paste jumper for maximum versatility in customized network wiring.
All LP-Series modules support an installer selectable active line clamp on the 1-wire data signal for improved network line limiting and wave-shaping when needed, along with passive onboard low capacitance TVS and diode protection for the 1-wire data line.
On board power and access LED indicators are used to indicate power and device selection. Power for the boards may also be optionally applied directly to the LP series board, instead of through the modular dual RJ-45 jacks, by connecting directly to a 2 pin male header. This allows power to be supplied to the boards when it is desirable NOT to use power over the cable. And also serves as a convenient test point when checking power.
