5.5 Communications Between Multiple ROBERTS GORDON
®
ULTRAVAC™ Controllers
If more than one ROBERTS GORDON
®
ULTRA-
VAC™ Controller is installed in a building, the
controllers’ RS-485 communications must be wired in
series. See Page 25, Figure 18. Connect the
RS-485 terminal on controller
#
1 to the RS-485
terminal on controller
#
2 and so on in a daisy chain
fashion. For communication cable requirements,
See Page 12, Section 3.3.5
From a PC, by dialing into the modem on controller
#
1
or by connecting to controller
#
1 via RS-485
converter or TCP/IP communication module, the
system status and settings can be viewed for any of
the controllers on the network.
The control board identification dip switch must be
set on each ROBERTS GORDON
®
ULTRAVAC™
Controller. See Page 25, Figure 18 for dip switch
settings. Contact Roberts-Gordon or your
ROBERTS GORDON
®
independent distributor, if
more than 20 controllers are connected.
