Twisted-pair connections

The twisted-pair connections are available to connect additional devices or for existing installations where
individual wires were used to connect to the old phone-style I/O box. Easy-to-use RJ-cable connections are
also available on the new I/O box. See

Bias switch

The bias switch maintains an appropriate load on the RS-485 line. Set the bias switch to ON for one
keypad in a typical system (any one keypad and only one keypad). If your system is divided into
groups that are separated by fiber or Ethernet bridges, you must set the bias switch to ON for one
keypad in each group.

Tie-wrap

For safety, use a tie-wrap
to secure the power cable
to the tie-in.
