Depending upon topology and materials within the space, range may be limited.
• Avoid metal obstructions.
• Walls may impact communication depending upon construction method and materials.
• For complete design specification details, please refer to the Ketra System Specification Guide.
CONTROL CONNECTIONS
Distance limitations for each control topology should be taken into consideration.
• DMX  1800 ft (548 m) maximum.
• 010  50 ft (15.24 m) maximum total, depending on wire gauge.
• Contact Closure – 50 ft (15.24 m) maximum total, depending on wire gauge.
• 24 Volt – 50 ft (15.24 m) maximum total, depending on wire gauge.
