If the network voltage drops below 11 VDC at the farthest node, communication timeouts will occur. Always implement dedicated, isolated auxiliary power taps for long network runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #1a365d; margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\"\u003eCommissioning \u0026amp; Wiring Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2d3748; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;\"\u003eEnsure that 121-ohm, 1\/4W termination resistors are physically wired in parallel across CAN_H (Pin 4) and CAN_L (Pin 2) at both physical endpoints of the trunk line.
