Line A on keyboard has been used for
communication with telemetry. The ends (Keyboard
- Receiver A3) should have the termination resistor
inserted. Receivers A1, A2 should not have the
termination resistor inserted. The maximum line
length, from end to end (from the keyboard to
receiver A3), is 1200 meters.

6.2.12 Mixed configurations (point-to-
point / multi-point)
This is a combination of the two previous connection
modes and, depending on the combination chosen,
allows the user to exploit the advantages of the
two types of connection to the utmost, significantly
reducing the probability of faulty operation.

The following is an example of mixed connection:

In the example shown, if receiver R3 jams (multi-
point connection in line L3) it will not cause faulty
operation in receiver R4.
R3 is not at the ends of line L3and
it is not therefore necessary to terminate it.
If receiver R2 jams, since it is the "generator" of line
L3, all receivers connected to it in cascade (R3 and R4)
will not receive the commands.
