AS-Interface Power Supplies (VAN-115/230AC-K27) and repeaters for AS-Interface -- Power supplies are important.  Fortunately, selecting them is fairly straightforward when considering a couple of specification parameters.  AS-Interface Repeaters are typically used to extend the total length of a network. --Select the AS-Interface power supply to match your available input voltage.  When fusing the input side, take a look at the total current consumption of the supply --Output current specifies how much current can be provided to power modules, the gateway, and possibly, a repeater --AS-Interface power supplies are primarily designed for AS-Interface.  Thus their secondary voltage is fixed at 30.5 V --Just as with the gateways, make sure they are mounted such that they are properly vented to keep the operating temperature within the specified range --Repeaters are easy to use. They are bi-directional ... but watch out when using a repeater with a terminator
