49CCN Communication Bus —The PremierLinkt controller connects to the bus in a daisychain arrangement. Negative pins on each component mustbe connected to respective negative pins, and likewise,positive pins on each component must be connected torespective positive pins. The controller signal pins must bewired to the signal ground pins. Wiring connections for CCNmust be made at the 3--pin plug.At any baud (9600, 19200, 38400 baud), the number ofcontrollers is limited to 239 devices maximum. Bus lengthmay not exceed 4000 ft, with no more than 60 totaldevices on any 1000--ft section. Optically isolated RS--485repeaters are required every 1000 ft.NOTE: Carrier device default is 9600 baud.Communications Bus Wire Specifications: The CCNCommunication Bus wiring is field--supplied andfield--installed. It consists of shielded 3--conductor cablewith drain (ground) wire. The cable selected must beidentical to the CCN Communication Bus wire used forthe entire network.See Table 25 for recommended cables.Table 25 – Recommended CablesMANUFACTURER CABLE PART NO.Alpha 2413 or 5463American A22503Belden 8772Columbia 02525NOTE: Conductors and drain wire must be at least 20AWG, stranded, and tinned copper. Individual conductorsmust be insulated with PVC, PVC/nylon, vinyl, Teflon*,or polyethylene. An aluminum/polyester 100% foil shieldand an outer jacket of PVC, PVC/nylon, chrome vinyl, orTeflon with a minimum operating temperature range of--20_C to 60_C is required. Do not run communicationwire in the same conduit as or next to any AC voltagewiring.* Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont.The communication bus shields must be tied together ateach system element. If the communication bus is entirelywithin one building, the resulting continuous shield mustbe connected to ground at only one single point. If thecommunication bus cable exits from one building andenters another building, the shields must be connected tothe grounds at a lightning suppressor in each building (onepoint only).Connecting CCN bus:NOTE: When connecting the communication bus cable,a color code system for the entire network isrecommended to simplify installation and checkout. SeeTable 26 for the recommended color code.Table 26 – Color Code RecommendationsSIGNAL TYPE CCN BUS WIRECOLORCCN PLUG PINNUMBER+ Red 1Ground White 2--- Black 3Connect the CCN (+) lead (typically RED) to the unit’sTB1--12 terminal.
